I wasn't trying to bicker either - I was trying to help. SuperSierra thought it wouldn't work on adjustable pedals but it does help a little so I didn't want to see somebody with adjustable pedals skip the mod when it doesn't take any money or time to try it out. Also when I said no special writeup needed I didn't mean his video was worthless, just the opposite, I meant no special writeup was needed for the adjustable pedals. Just follow the instructions he had already posted in that video for the non-adjustable pedals.

 

I got the info to do it to my adjustable pedals from others on these forums so I agree that we all come here to get help. No harm meant to anyone. I can handle the criticism I just don't like being called names by others when I was just adding my and others experience and was civilized about it (if you read my posts I never called anybody names in fact I was the one who got called names by others).

 

I agree that we should get this thread back on track. I hope to keep getting (and giving) good advice from these forums. Hatchet buried :cheers:

Hey guys, new and just wanted to share a couple under $50 mods I did myself quick and easy. First is the light strips behind the grille ($45). For the interior I have different light strips to light the floor ($25) and did the ceiling lights as well ($6).

I wasn't sure if I wanted to white out led stripping in the cab and behind the grill but after seeing that red I think my mind is changed!!! Do you have any links or brands?

SuperSierra-thanks

CodeyD13- the grill lights are OPT7 and they have 24 colors so you can do white and red and more

The floor lights are:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000UVCK9S/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

The ceiling lights were the trickiest part. I could not find actual bulb replacements that fit, some online said they did but they were wrong. I used filters that are for photography and just put them in front of the bulb. They actually make it red and let through a ton of light I can still see everything fine. It says they are no longer in stock but I attached the link figuring you could find something similar if you wanted. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004A9PMGE/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

the gels are what i also used to colour my cabin lights... but i used blue

 

they work great and i still get a lot of light in the cab at night... it's not as bright as white (of course), but i can still see lots. (and if i'm having an issue seeing i've got a little flashlight in the center console)

Man I love RGB LED's! Are the ceiling lights RGB as well?

"Rigged for Red!!!" I love it. That is on my list of mods to do.

Alexantics- sadly no, that would be the coolest thing in the world if they were. I did the ceiling lights with some colored film slipped between the bulb and light fixture. I think bc-Chris did the same.

 

RavenKeeper-it was super easy and cheap to do and it is what I get the most compliments about so you should definitely

      3.59 Kroger’s in Montgomery Tx. 20 cents higher than most around here. Very unusual. Saturday they were 3.49.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Starting at 17 running parts for my father’s construction business to haul our equipment. Eventually doing shows, sales and training after purchase. I drove a minimum of 50K miles a year. Half hauling something. After retiring 30K miles a year to the last 2 years 15K miles a year. 2/3rds highway driving. The major contribution to fatigue for me is from anticipation and awareness. I just don’t relax. Too many idiots on the road. There’s two kinds. The group that never leave the left lane tied together afraid to let anyone in doing 80. They’re mostly on weekends. Then the left lane sleepers usually next to a tractor trailer not advancing. Eventually the tractor trailer will drift over the sleeper will wake up. The train moves and the tailgaters who are usually mad as hell. You definitely don’t want to mix with them. The tail wagging bumper puller’s with under powered trucks are holding the tractor trailer up. That bunch are dangerous. I usually pace ahead all that. Unless there’s a gap when I can chill and let the speeders pass. I tried all different types of driving. I stay to the right except to pass, it’s the law that’s getting in forced more now because of road rage. I was so happy when my wife didn’t want to do the camping life. I had enough of pulling for work. The family has a bus and fifth wheel. I haven’t driven either one since retiring. No thanks.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yesterday a suggested youtube video thumbnail caught my attention so I watched through it and it was a bunch of short clips someone gathered together of people pulling trailers, a lot of them were bumper pull holiday trailers and a pickup or suv pulling it. a few fifth wheels as well, some motorhome crashes also. The tail wagging the dog theme was quite evident in numerous self inflicted accidents that took out vehicles around them sometimes in the process as the unit finally swung around and flipped over in the middle of the highway. Or the other classic which literally could be called "I forgot the trailer was back there" in passing another vehicle on a multi lane one way freeway and then cutting back in line before the back of the rv trailer had passed the front of the passed vehicle and often in front of a tractor trailer and that never ended well. Or the wide kick out swing of the rear of a long travel trailer as they have so much overhang behind the axles and the trailer smashes into the side of vehicles in the next lane over ( typically sharp turns in city driving ). It makes one leery for good reason to be near an RV trailer after watching a video like that and be it on the highway, in town, or at a gas station where that rear end comes swinging around due to the fuel station being so cramped and not intended for larger trailers. I wonder how many officers have heard those words though "I forgot it was back there" as they investigate the accident LOL.

      Just because a person can buy a travel trailer or a motorhome doesn't mean they can drive it properly. My observation during my RVing years.
