    You already kind of covered bed lights with one of the versions of your 3rd brake light that had a couple of the bajas angled downwards, but if you wanted to make lights for the rear of the bed it would minimize shadows cast by the 3rd brake light and give you max illumination in the bed.

    Engine bay lights would be neat. At the very front of the hood angled inward so they don't point at your eyes.

    I'm sure you got a lot on your plate, but maybe these will find their way on your to do list. Hope it helps. Deploying for a year in Aug, at the rate you're going I can't wait to see what you'll have come up with by the time I get back!

    My night vision would love to be able to have red dash lights and change out the front console led and the bright blue D on the shifter to red.

    A small light for the center console/glovebox would be neat too...

    I’d love to see 4 small (5 inch or so) LED lights in a moulded plastic housing that attaches on front of the hood. Rally car style.
    Can double as bug deflector.
    I think it could look pretty good. Especially using rectangular style lights.

    What door switch did you wire to? I was looking to do this but this seems to remove some of the wiring complications.

    Are you able to turn them on independent of the door?

    Edit: went to website. They use fuse taps... Might go for the DSIM control module instead. It's just $$$, right?

    i would maybe focus on keeping your inventory topped up. almost seems like most items is just never available due to limited numbers. i do know that there is more money to be made by keeping your items filled to reach that wider audience. it also gives you a more loyal base than putting up limited run items to a small audience that just so happens to snatch them up will. when you see your product saturation then you work a system like keeping a couple of each in stock; just a crude example. for me personally, i already see several products i tried to buy but just not able to cause i came into the taco game at the wrong time. im pretty sure not the only one on this boat.

    maybe. but if so why not just appease to the audience that he does have for the products that are never in stock instead of working on new products that only a very few people will get to enjoy. there are more than a few in limbo that would love to purchase what he has to offer here and now if it was available.

    I can’t speak for @MESO , but I know other successful entrepreneurs who like to keep their businesses small, for lifestyle choices mainly, and also to be free to follow their muse. This leads to some disappointment when they can’t keep up with demand, but each person has a right to choose their own path, and we should support it, even if it’s a frustration for us personally.

    I wish you luck in getting the Meso mods you are after! So far I’ve just got small stuff like the change holder, gasshole, and a key fob on the way. I don’t have experience going after some of the bigger ticket items like lights and mirrors.

    What Meso mods are you looking for?

    lol basically the more technical things he offers. like the mirror lights and the 3rd brake light as just some examples. the small stuff like gasshole is good stuff too though dont get me wrong.

    I installed your map lights in my ‘18 (dome still sold out. Eventually I will buy). They are extremely bright. If I were to add your dome light, I could charge people to sit in my truck for tanning bed sessions.

    Lol. I wouldn’t mind a dimmer.

    I’d like to have an awesome set of bed lights, for under my diamondback. Maybe like the factory pods, but 4-6 of them. Not a big fan of the led strips, just looks cheap to me. I just don’t think the two factory pods will do much with “stuff” in my bed.

    LED grille lettering? Interior door panel lighting. I like my girls focus interior door latches have multicolor lighting, red and blue that change for different functions. Maybe something for inside door pillars. Easy access and install?

    This thread is more than 2 years old. Inventory will always be hit and miss since I am a small operation and tend to jump around from mod to mod. That said, I am working hard on building up stock...just takes some time:)
