Dammit. My installer said he added foam. We'll see how long it holds up. They don't seem overly stretched.

If he truly did, its noticeable. It's their way of being an upholster "adding foam" is what the do to furniture. Leather and cloth seats don't stretch like vinyl or large furniture.

Also I thinks it's their up sell.

Before and after heat.

This is going to drive me nuts.

I didn't like the clutter of chargers, so I installed Blue Sea plugs in the side and rear, plus one on the inside.

Also put Eire connectors on plastic studs with retainers to secure the wires.

Yeah, he didn't ask me, he just did it. Didn't know enough at the time to be mad about it. I hate hiring work out.

That trick with the electrical terminal on the plastic stud is sweet.

Looked better before you heated them

One saw more sunlight?

No, it's a different type of plastic, it didn't like heat at all.

Camp lights. RF, RT, LR.

Had to shorten the wire from the e-Vision LED curved light bar. These connectors are kick ass.

Remove, solder, re install.

 

[AATLAS1X]

BOOM!

Thanks, I had a chance to play with one of my lights in the dark over the weekend. Its basically the perfect amount of light/beam for simple camp illumination. Just don't look directly into the bulb. Its damned bright.

My rack build is scheduled to start end of April.

Dang Shane, do you sleep? You've got more done in the last month than I have in a year. With Kids, wife and work there is just never enough time for toys....I'm jealous.

 

[TYM4FUN]

Really like the cured light bar. Seems like it makes the best use of light output.

I'm assuming it's a spot/flood combo?

 

[AATLAS1X]

Holy Crap the forum has changed..... I took a few weeks off social media, forums and working on the 80.

Good news is lots of other prototype parts are coming along.

-10" Sub mount installed.

You seemed like a trustworthy guy, don't prove me wrong.
