Derek's 'BST' Tundra Build

[Derek24]

nice work, you think you're going to get some good glare from the HIDs on the front of the rack?

I don't think so since the rack is on the camper shell and lights will be going over the whole cab, which I'm hoping will reduce glare. My buddies Xterra has 4 HIDs on the roof right over the windshield and it glares bad, so I don't want that, kinda useless!

you gonna mount a full size spare up there?

No sir, it's getting heavy enough with all the lights. I can feel the camper shell alone when it's on going around corners. Maybe a shovel and axe!

I want to see what the light output is for the square HID. Would they work as a fog light?

They are actually LEDs and yes they are perfect for flood lights. Just on is bright enough for a backup light or side lights, I got six!

Here's a link to the lights. Really solid made, all aluminum and waterproof , also all hardware is stout stainless.

Ok I'm going outside to get night pics!

Ok, here are some night shots of just the 22" LED light bar. First shot is my flashlight on about 10 feet in front of the truck as well as my walkway lights in the background. Second pic is the light bar on. Nice thing about living under 100+ foot tall redwoods is that it is DARK!!!

Wow that looks great!

 

[Retarius]

Damn that looks awesome!

Installed my 2nd battery, and moved the ARB compressor to the firewall now just need to wire everything up. Also installed my roof basket, and again need to wire the lights up as well. Also replaced my passenger side axle because of a torn CV boot, easy install!

 

[seanpistol]

you're lacking a full side profile shot so we can see the rack sittin up there

 

[Derek24]

I'll have to get that for you tomorrow. It sure makes the truck look tall!

 

[seanpistol]

that's OK right
