Tell that the LED light strips I have that get so hot it heats the backing glue to liquid and the light falls off.Quote:

I'm certainly no LED lighting expert, but I know there are different styles and manufacturers for sure. I know that warm light LEDs get hotter than shit, the ones I put in my last house did. These lights are white, and the same manufacturer also makes patient lights and flood lights that are on for extended periods of time...and do not get hot.
So, that's why I edited and said I'd check to make sure... :)
It bled over to here yesterday, or was it this morning? You want a PWT Honorary T-1 designation? I know a guy, can make it happen, hypothetically.Quote:

Are they small enough to fit on my keymod h/guard?
I think the ones I bought that get hot are cheap, but thought I'd throw it out there just in case. Things like brake lights and courtesy lights that don't stay on long, it probably doesn't matter.
So, you’re saying it’s the tier-1 lights that don’t get hot... are these tier-1?? I don’t take free stuff of a lesser designation.Quote:

Time to hit the rec center and try my tier1 racquet! :)
Here's your next project Kowalski.

Oh dear lord....I wouldn't do it with that POS...lol. I could have modified mine into a fine camper, but I kept it versatile enough to be utility based and easily prepped for multiple purposes.Quote:

I'm not sure how weird it will be to carpet JUST the stairs, but I don't really care. Thanks for all the help.
Use to know a dude on CSC that retrofitted a ambulance into a toy hauler / bike garage......TFOG would probably know who im talking about.
I would retro a old short bus into a battle wagon but for now I guess I'll settle on changing rotors and doing a bleed on the Buick brakes at some point and daydream.
I don't know the guy from CSC personally, but I remember him talking about it.
One of the custom fab guys from the CO4x4 built one into the ultimate Broncos Tailgating mobile...
Daydreams are okay, Mazin. The way stuff seems to work out sometimes, there might very well be an opportunity that develops and lends itself to your desired purposes at a reasonable cost.
I don't know who they are, but if they can bend and weld up a custom aluminum lightbar, I'm ready to write a check for it.Quote:

He moved from the location in Longmont, and I haven't had the time to go by his new place, but it's more down south.
Alternatively, I'll have my tubing bender up and running in a couple weeks (got an email saying it would ship later this week), and I'd be more than happy to help you build it.
If you can bend 2" aluminum tubing, and can weld aluminum...………I'm very interested.
Correction....1-1/2 aluminum tubing. I looked at the drawing again.
Will be able to bend .75" - 2" whatever the heck you want. Tube. Not pipe. (Just a clarification)...Quote:

What kind of radius' are you looking for in the bends?Quote:

It's just money, right? [dig]

You know I think I remember that (yea I'm mazin on thier too just not active)Quote:

I envy that you're taking that stuff on and learning to do it. I wish I knew how to weld aluminum, or steel with tig. Some of the stuff I've had to have done or wanted to do, involved tig skills if you want it done as strong as it should be. Rock it, brother....more power to ya for sure.
I just want a project done, and fabricators that I've visited with personally, listen to what I'm asking for, tell me they can do it...…..and then don't call me back. WTF?
I think if I don't want 500 or 1000 of them, they just don't care. I'm just a dude that wants one little project here and there to finish my truck the way I want it.
Brutal really helped me with someone he knows that might be able to make my nerf bars, I gave them a test piece of the tubing I have, and I'm hopeful that they can do what I'm looking for. Thank you again, Brutal... this is the closest I've been to actually maybe getting them built... :)
Shit I've never welded anything beyond J&B
Whatever the closest to 90 that you can get. Less is okay if the light tabs can still be welded at the same height, or close to the same height as the center two. I think the overall length was near 38 inches...and tab height needs to be at 3 or so inches from the mounting point I believe. I do have the drawing I made if you'd like to see it.Quote:

Buying tools...…...I've been blowing money on tools since I was kid, if you ever borrow one, you'd better buy one is the rule as far as I know.
And don't buy tier 3 shit either....lol.
Ouch.Quote:

There's a lot of WIN there, my friend.
Goodnight, Mrs. Chick.Quote:
