What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!
- Thread starter DEKA3
- Start date
This past week I finally installed my rigid dually flood lights to the lower grille area. I cut out the mesh, smoothed it all out, and re installed. I used a piece of metal angle iron and mounted the lights to that. Drilled and tapped the bumper support. All wired up. I am going to get a set of amber lens covers for the center 2 lights. I have them wired in pairs, inner and outer. Hope u like

I wanted a rack that fit on the factory roof rack rails, couldn't find anything. So I took this aluminum basket I bought on amazon and modified it to this.
Lots of cutting to make it work, but it turned out good.

Now that that has been answered what the hell is the "Bull Pen"?
With the overnight pass you can access the beach 24 hrs a day, but you can't sleep on the beach. Word is they are worried about people sleeping having the tide take their vehicle. The bull pen is an area in the OSV area but back from the water where you can sleep overnight IF you have 1) a bull pen pass, and 2) a camper with built-in toilet and black water tank.
Not a bad deal if you have the camper. For an extra $40/year you can stay in the bull pen as much as you want, while the National Park campground is $25/night. Also you don't have to leave the beach to use the bull pen, like you do with the campground, so in the summer when they hit the 145 vehicle limit you don't risk leaving for the night and not getting back in the next day.

Added some switches and outlets...
Never used the AUX input - so replaced with "always hot" power with Type 1 Swich (perfect fit) and added the dual USB in place of the factory lighter
Added switches for fogs and spots...
Added outlets (Lighter & Dual USB) on the back of the center console which the "power" switch enables

Blue Sea for both the socket and dual USB - many folks here have used these extensively. All the stock stuff comes out perfectly if patient - don't force it. I also left all the OEM connectors intact.
The voltage meters is from the IBS dual battery system - lots of info on this within this forum and lot's of folks running it as well.

Picked up a Carry-On 5x8G mesh trailer, couldn't beat the price. Swapped the axle to spring-over to gain some clearance and hieght (still have to use a 4" drop to get it close to level). Want to replace the 12" wheels with something a little bigger. Heading home today to undercoat it and lay down a 2x10x8 pressure treated floor and a removable wheel chock for the bikes. Too big for a true off-road trailer but it's perfect for hauling the bikes. And garbage... Really want to install some shocks on it but I can't find any that will work with it yet. I've been looking for a kit with weld-on shock mounts, etc. Vermont roads S.U.C.K.

Finally installed my SW bumper, sliders and vision X light cannons.
The lights are amazing but as you can see, massive. They stick out quite a bit further than I would like and also contact the center hoop if aimed how I want them. I am going to cut up my spare grill to see about mounting them recessed into the grill area and down a bit.

Looks great! Everyone is all about LEDs. It's good to see some solid rounds that will really throw the light farther than your headlights.
AND...what about that VW bus on the right?!?! Full roof rack?!?! 20+ windows?!?! That's a rare beast!!!
