srodocker's "little" project

[srodocker]

kept getting distracted by some gentlemn asking about my truck. found a old deuce mechanic that gave me his apt number and asked if i need anything let him know hehe. but did do a cpl things besides organize my tools and the back of the truck for upcoming projects.

added the little stick on spot mirrors which from just sitting in my driver seat makes a HUGE difference in visibility. also put a rubber elbow on my air intake mushoroom to get it pointed up. have to cut out the hole a little bigger but its going to work real well. and also added some eyes to my deuce. i have tons of little kids in my complex so i thought i would add something hehe.

Great job and some really good ideas. Thanks,

 

[srodocker]

thanks!. no problem if anyone needs part numbers or anything most of them i posted in earlier posts.

also me and dan tried to put on the national L shape garage door handles from true value and they dont fit as the holes on the outside do not line up. tried a bunch of little things and it just doesnt work...so thinking of some new ideas. maybe even doing some flesh mounted door handles that you pull towards you

and these for underneath the dash so i have floor lights as well. i would put 1 on each side along with red ones.

yes i was bored last night but i think it would be kind of cool

any opinions?

 

[gunner_bear]

how do you run all the led stuff it says 12 volt?

 

[srodocker]

you run them in series. so you hook them to the power source together. so together they will be 24volt

 

[bones1]

Can you give me a visual on the series hookup.

 

[wsucougarx]

Wow Scott, with all those lights you might as well cut to the chase and go this route. I guarantee everyone will see you this way

 

[srodocker]

hahah i want to buy one of brads searchlights...so does josh
