2016 Trail - The Ronin Build

I figured out why the LEDs are such a tight fit... The heat sink interferes with a support piece inside the chamber they mount in. A little grinding off of part of that heat sink and they fit MUCH better.

Excellent! i see that too now, looking at the old bulb, it appears to be a bit worn where it would contact the area in which you are speaking of.

So the led swap came out great with my handpicked bulbs from Superbrightled's. I did use a couple from the HID extra kit for the puddle lamps and vanities. So considering that and the tools it came with, it was't such a bad purchase.
Here is a sneak peak of the shots I took last night of the interior.

Love the look! I just changed all my interior lights to LED's as well. Love it!

I did take the rubber grommits of of an old hid kit and used it on the razir's instead of electrical tape. for a much better seal in the holes I had in my weather caps. I'll get a picture but its like Mars weather outside.
 
Got cleaned up the other day. Spilled half the bottle as I finished shooting haha

Switch Pros

I just ordered 2 switch pros kits!! it also already shipped and will be here friday!

Im so excited for this! My brother Luke who is an A/V engineer will be professionally installing them himself in my vehicle as well as his 2016 Jeep wrangler Rubicon unlimited. I will be documenting with video and photos of course.

This is their website here. Switch Pros - Home

you can actually get it on amazon here with your store card and get zero interest for a few months. http://amzn.to/2ajzTko

Basically its a great 8 panel switch that won the best interior auto accessory at SEMA 2015

I have another set of pods for a total of four, then a bumper grille bar, and windshield bar. So there are 4 switches taken already. I will then have 4 left to add other accessories. These switches can also be controlled by bluetooth with your phone.
I think that is gonna be great for camping or fishing. to be able to light the whole area up from within your tent.

He is a professional and very succesful Audio/Video engineer so it should turn out great!

LED bumper / grille bar installed

I finished installing the 32" bumper Led bar from Hid extra.com and the brackets from Rago Fabrication.com

Its not very hard to do at all and I think anybody can do it by themselves if they had to, but having a friend sure helps!

I'll be working on the installation video as well but Im trying to recoup from heat exhaustion! Haha jk but not really it was extremely hot and humid.

Rexing V1P dash cam with rear camera | The Ronin Chronicle

Hey Everybody! So great to be waking up today to share with you my new video on the Rexing V1P Dash Cam.

Rexing actually sent me this camera for free because they liked my first video and it is actually on their website!
Its is the same model as the V1 but the "p" adds the Rear camera. which isn't the best quality but its only a $30 upgrade which is def worth it to me. So in this video I show you an unboxing, how I hardwired the camera and installed the rear camera as well.
I had no idea where I was going to mount the rear unit but I think I found a really good spot for it. I'm not sure if the Rear unit is weather proof or supposed to be on the outside but I guess this will be an experiment too haha

Whats cool is the unit is hardwired so when i shut my car off and take my keys, the cameras are both still rolling. Which is good for security and self defense documentation. If I was to be robbed or have to use my gun in sight of either camera, it could save me in the courtroom or whatever.
Its not a good idea to leave parked in direct sunlight for hours on end. You could damage the unit.
Also it is great for making cool videos and home movies of our road trips.

Let me know what you think!
