I did a partial wrap in burnt orange as homage to the Texas Longhorns. I really like my Urban side runners installed today. Notice my vehicle number on the front door. We should all do that for something fun at meet-ups.

Looking very sharp!

BTW I know some forum members have had challenges with Urban side runner installation. Unfortunately the tolerance is off by about 1/16th inch, which is enough to turn a simple installation into a wrestling match. The hack I came up with to make it pretty easy is to use ratchet straps. After loosely attaching the front two bolts, use a ratchet strap on the rear to offer support and crank it to get the holes lined up.

Have Dremel, will mount side steps.

Dremel, I don't think so?! You need real material removal. A big round file and a strong arm, or a Bridgeport Mill.

So, what part of your body do you use THAT on?

Hi folks,

today I added a rear spot light - all by myself (I feel like Hulk now no, kiddin...)

It was really fun working with the Deutsch plugs, the crimping tools.

And what makes me really happy - it WORKS

Very nice! I like the compact design. First time crimper just like me? Does your bracket have a gutter mount option?

 

[Pat-Ard]

Thanks @grnamin Yes, it was my first time... crimping...
No, the brackets have no such option: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08PDYX2ZR/?tag=globalgrena0b-20

Good advice. I probably wrestled the longest round with the sidesteps. Sore for days.

Hi Patrick, nicely done . How much does the cable bend when you open the door? Is there tension and if so, could this harm the cable connection to the light? Could you pls. provide a photo?

Hi Jens,

I think there's no tension when I open the door. I'll take a photo tomorrow, OK?

Put some headlight tint on the telltale display and the airbag lights.
Telltale drove me nits at night with its green headlight lights illuminated far too brightly.
I still don't understand why we need a light to illuminate to advise us that our lights are illuminated. But I'd guess the gubmint has its fingerprints on it.

I put 2 layers on the telltale. Much better.

That was one of my first mods too haha! Glad to know I wasn't the only one who thought those lights (and the airbag lights) were too bright.

Hi Jens,

I installed the clips for sunglasses. Resolves my problem where to keep them so they are easily accessible.
