Just an update. I mounted another 32" bar behind my LTZ grill. I'm loving the light it puts out.

How much light does that grille block? from the pictures it looks like the grille is basically covering half the bar

Has anyone found a wire for the 10 minute retained acc power? All of the ones I have found only retain power until the door is opened. I want to be able to leave the light on after I open the door but not be on a always on so I can't forget to turn it off and drain the batt. Right now I have my relay for my light triggered by a wire off of the high beam but I'm installing some double throw switches in the console so the bar can be off, on with highs, or on with 10 minute RAP. I'm also going to do the same for my backup pods along with a jumper from reverse to the bed lights.

1 20" combo beam

1 30" spot beam only

2 rigid Dually D2 driving pattern for fog lights

 

This set up lights up a dark road. No more need for the high beams on low light roads

Pics in daytime?

Will have some in the next hour or two! Finally waking up to go out and finish working on it

Looks good.

 

Where's the best place to run your wiring from the bars and into the cab to mount the switch?

The new 30" bar is a bit more cool white than the 20" but with how bright they are it's hard to tell when you look at them. They light up the road like crazy! And the 30" also matches the rigid pods!

 

If anyone wants more pics at any specific angle or of anything in particular, let me know and I can post here or send me a PM and I can send it to you that way.

 

Here's a link to the 30"

I ran the wire from both my bars on a double harness. From the bars they ran up in between the passenger headlight and the air box and used 3m double sided tape to stick it underneath the little overhang on the side. Ran it to the battery from there and then down the backside of the passenger wheelwell. There is a large opening the you can just drop the wire through and it will be easy access under the truck. From there I drilled a small hole (just big enough to fit the harness wire through) in the small circular plastic piece under the passenger footwell carpet. Ran the wire under the carpet and into the center console and spliced the power for the light on the switch to a cig lighter under the infotainment center. And Finally I have the switch sitting in the forward top corner of the small storage compartment on the driver side of the center floor console

 

I will take a pic of the switch. It's in a great spot. Hidden, out of the way, but not far or difficult to access.

Sorry guys for the late pics. You will notice against the garage regular low beam and then the new D2 Rigids. Also pics of the truck. Just love the lights and how they work! Outstanding to say the least.

Do you drive with your fog lights on? I just installed mine today, and they are BRIGHT!

 

Just curious..

    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires. 
    • Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉       
    • I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.
