There are some people who ride near me that leave their bright lights on (High Beams) when driving. I installed a light bar on the front of my truck (My preference ) and so far, ive only had to turn it on twice to make the other person turn theirs off. (What I do is I flash them once with my High Beams and if they dont turn theirs off, I turn my light bar on and off real quick) (Its not the proper thing to do, but it works)

Sir, for your three (3) videos in the construction of your truck's bedrails, headache rack and mounting system for your light-bar, paint job and electrical setup ... a most excellent set of informative videos. You did your major projects so simply constructed, explained so well as you were constructing them, overall paint job and electrical setup, that you made me feel I was there helping you all the way. You Sir, made it look so simple to construct this time-consuming project, yet produced such an "elegant" home-made job. Your construct ended rivaling a professional job, and yet you made it happen "your" way all-around. Your truck's lights, plus the light-bar's, makes for sone scary sunlight. You are no doubt scaring the bejesus out of all those crazy furry friends, wondering just what has happened to their world at night, and reaching for their "Kaopectate". I congratulate you Sir, for a job simply very well made, and thank you for your hard work, as published.

It's better to use a different slot. The slot he is using provides 12V even when the vehicle is off, but you may want to use a different slot for something that doesn't need 12V when the vehicle is off or even more, requires a fuse of a different rating.

Ozan Gültekin I wasn't questioning the quality. I have a cheap 50$ 24" for a reverse bar that is really bright, eventually the LEDs will go out a lot quicker than Rigid.. Only reason why I know a screw over 10" is because I read that somewhere recently.

+Chris Maroney i know u werent questioning it. oh and also, all LEDs will last about the same i think.

Awesome work you are doing, I'm getting all envious, and want to do the same to my car. One question; wouldn't it have been nice to have run the wiring inside the metal bars / roof rail, rather than in a plastic tube zip-tied to the rail?
@robbie1994frbw8 жыл бұрын
I thought that too lol
@theking94hm8 жыл бұрын
No because then you wouldn't be able to replace the wiring easily and it would also be easier for water to get into the bars.

Nah, the alternator is always feeding power to the battery. So the battery will last as long as usual.

Even though I’ve almost watched your videos, I’m back watching a older video to remind myself how to do something again. Way cool thanks for the content.

+Brennan Callan As someone who holds 27 college degrees and 3 WWE titles, it's cute to see someone throwing out their degree count in a KZbin conversation. If getting a degree teaches you nothing else, it's that being clear and concise in your communications with others is of paramount importance, as knowing how to communicate lets you translate that giant warehouse of knowledge into something you can relate to others (hopefully without coming across as condescending!). Being needlessly wordy or skilled in nitpicking the works of others is not the same thing as being intelligent.

lol when i put light bars in my grille we just grounded it and took the other wire into the cab and it plugs into the cigarette lighter, simple but it works out great, especially because i hate wiring and electronics
@alldayedcers94548 жыл бұрын
So you just wired it to the cigarette lighter wiring or you used a plug?
@benjaminmasters53758 жыл бұрын
Plug, i insert a plug into the cigarette lighter which is attached right to the light bars via a long wire
@alldayedcers94548 жыл бұрын
Cool, and it works like a charm?

All Day EDCers works out nicely, for a person who doesnt understand wiring and electronics well its perfect, no worrys about fuses and other stuff, just the positive wire plugging in works great
@ZombieCakeHD8 жыл бұрын
Benjamin Masters so you just wire the positive to a plug that goes into the cigarette lighter, then grounded the light bar to your frame?
@SteveH-TN Жыл бұрын
While I probably won’t be installing a lightbar. I found that the information in your videos should be useful for other purposes. Thanks again for sharing your experience & thoughts.

Hey Chris, I just started watching your videos last week and i'm HOOKED! You put so much detail and thought into every project it just inspires me to do so much more work for my truck when i get back to her. Also the video editing and sound quality is better than most for sure! I installed an LED bar on my grille guard, two minis on the headache rack for full coverage and a reverse light a couple years ago with a buddy who knew a little more than me on electrical wiring. (94' F-250 with a 7.5 460 FYI) IT WAS TERRIBLE lol, before i left last year only the front LED worked and I didn't secure the wires at all. Watching your videos is great because i love to do very detail and quality work so thank you for providing amazing detailed videos to help me through the process. I am excited for all your future videos and success in the future, Good luck and thank you.
