Love all the mods so far, but any chance of some detail pix about wiring the rear lights?
Also, is there much shadow cast because of the location, and the rear spoiler?
Thanks in advance
Pat
p.s. love the camping trip pix, nice to see a young family in the outdoors

Not with these ones. You sacrifice some clearance though.
Thanks!
I'll get some of the wiring this weekend and add them in. Because they are LEDs(very directional) and because of the location they don't light up the immediate area behind the truck very well. But I don't have any trouble seeing that area with the back up camera, it was the surrounding area when I was looking out the back window. Plus they are great from blinding tailgaters.

Here are some shots of the Rigid LED's I put in. The photo's are a bit underwhelming but they work fine when you are standing there. The photos make them look like spot lights since they are definitely brighter in the middle. They do look like floods in person but obviously you can't compare them to a halogen or HID. They are also a bit bluer than I wanted.

Yeah, I also figured out they were both aimed into the same spot. I'll fix that this weekend which should double the size of that bright area.

Hi Kingpin can you tell me what rims and tires you are running? Did you need to lift the truck or add any spacers, or anything?

You don't need anything extra to run them. The info is all in the first post.

dammit. You're right all the info is there. I swear! I looked for your signature and was like..dammit. nothing is listed!
Then i clicked all the links in the first post thinking maybe you made different threads..but they just linked to this thread.
Alright. Well, I've honestly got no idea about wheels and tires and what i need and don't need, so i'll have to learn but......i really like the wheels you got there.
thank you sir!

Wiring Up The Stock Backup Camera
To hook up the backup camera you need to tap 3 wires on this plug which is called the G20. Lol, what a mess. Obviously I'm not a professional installer.
They are the red, black and white wires on the right of the plug when you are looking at it as in the picture above. The white and black wires get spliced into an RCA. The Red one goes to a 12v source.
I know the pictures are confusing so here is the wiring diagram. Again the plug is G20. I think your looking at the back of the stock deck in this picture so the three you want are the last three on the left in the bottom row of the G20.
Maybe your also suppose to ground it but I tried and it didn't make any difference. All I know is this worked for me. Hope this makes some sense.

Bad idea for warm climates. I had one on my old integra and it would get too hot to handle. Had to remove it.

My new fridge got in tonight. I'll run some wires and install the mount for it this week if I've got time. I'm definitely happy with the size and build quality. It's going to be sweet this summer not having to worry about ice.

Keep us updated on the performance. I have one of their drawer fridges slotted for my cargo build out.

Just got back from a stint in Maine, and threw the fridge in the back. She said "it's too heavy...what do we need that for?"
Well after the second day of having ice cold water and sodas, and nice sandwiches, and not having to buy beer at the resort bar for 6$ a bottle...she changed her tune, and by the 4th day...thought it was the best thing since sliced bread....and "ohh...we need to bring this all the time"
Of course she never gave me credit for being right.....
Enjoy and many years of good service
