Little update. Good ol' Mike (dyogim) got me hooked on these LED strips. I hooked them up this past weekend. I just ran a red wire with an inline fuse from the battery back to the driver tail light. These LED strips are bright and make a huge difference when you need to see at night. I'll get some night shots later for you all to see.

Didn't have to cut at all. It ran perfectly around the entire circumference of the shell.

Here's them on.

My switch

Where I ran my power all hidden. You can see the backside of the switch. Just driller a hole.

I'm working on my rock lights now, more to come....

Derek - how did you mount the lights?

Derek - how did you mount the lights?

The led strips have have an adhesive backing. Very sticky.

 

[Derek24]

Mike is right!

Slowly getting to my rock lights. With graduation, work, and the GF it's been busy. Here's what I have so far...

Rock light mounted in front driver wheel well

Where my switch will go, don't smoke so no need...

Running wires for my switch

Comparison

My switch. Easy push button.

More to come....

Thanks all! I love this truck! I recently moved out to the sticks, so I feel a bumper is next, that way if I hit a deer again I can just keep going! Here's my recent update, rock lights installed and working!

looking good, I see some wires hanging down in the rear wheel well area that need to be rectified.
