[goodwin3224]

It's even more funny in person lol. You can officially see how much I lowered the show truck lol

[blackbeard]

what you do cut the springs and forgot to the shocks in

[goodwin3224]

Lol oh lord. Nope it's got a channeled cab lowered hood mounts low pros and the adjustable air ride kit. Not a work truck by any means haha

[goodwin3224]

got the #1 led kit. note this is for the light bars only. kit 2 and 3 will be for the rest of the truck

[blackbeard]

where can you get the light

[olsbooks]

Very nice. Are you fabricating an LED controller or was part of the light bar kit?

This thing is going to be a beast!

On the LED's Henry, check Radio Shack if you are up for some simple soldering. They are getting out of this kind of stuff more and more nationwide (sadly). I picked up a large "kit" of LED's (about 20 or so) of various sizes/colors for $5. Ditto for microswitches. The other thing is check Dollar General and cheapo type stores for leftover LED Christmas light strings and little prelit "desktop trees". Usually a buck or less if they still have them. Granted they will likely be all one color (clear) but are usually pefect for headlights or interior lights. Sometimes these strings can difficult to tell the voltage required and polarity. Just try series connecting AAA batteries. Try one battery, then reverse the wires. Then two batts in series and reverse wires, then three....and so on. You might pop one LED in the process of figuring it out, but at this price, so what?.

[blackbeard]

[goodwin3224]

its that toy i always wanted

[kilrathy10]

Very nice work....Excellent idea and execution....

[goodwin3224]

Thank you. Now I just have to hide the wires lol

Edited February 7, 2014 by goodwin3224

[blackbeard]

very true

[tbill]

that is COOL!!!!!! will be needing part numbers and directions for this

[goodwin3224]

Haha its very simple. I made my light bars up in about 15 minutes. I've been able to hide the wires in the rotator and bed which took a little longer. But now its time to feed them and the controller into the sleeper

Edited February 8, 2014 by goodwin3224

[goodwin3224]

i was able to hide 90 % of the wires by routing them down through the rotator (still rotates almost a full rotation) all i have left to do at that point to hide them is to build a few pannels.

[goodwin3224]

also note my line of work has helped a considerable amount lol

[goodwin3224]

i now have all of the light br wiring hidden other than the control switch

i also had 2 extra white leds si i figured i would add two extra lights to the rear

[blackbeard]

looking great with all those lights you can use it as a night light

[goodwin3224]

Oh yeah lol. It is bright with the lights off. I keep adding more as well haha

Flashing bumper lights

[blackbeard]

you will need sunglass's standing next to it looking great keep at it

[williamchevelleman1972]

Looks outstanding. I love the lights. Cant wait to see the finished product!! definitely following this build.

[goodwin3224]

Filling up fast. I have two controllers in there now and waiting on the third. Then I have to clean up and shorten the power wire from my 9 volts and mount my switches

Yeah your right Henry 14 lights down 45 more lights to go haha

Thanks will. It's kinda crazy. I can't wait to see either. I'm almost ready to do paint
