Wha.....what about me? Did I not inspire you at Windrock?

That you did! I always thought it looked cool but seeing it in person really made me want it haha

 

[akinc]

Yes Taylor was my ultimate inspiration too. But drb gets the nod too.

Well when you see 300 leds used for it......kinda breath taking

 

[caseycamby]

Just ordered another set.. I'm gonna have fun with these things haha

 

[01XterraPhilly]

Hey did you do a write up for this? There is no wiring write up on the forum and I'm struggling with my light bar for some reason. Maybe I'm a tard when I comes to this stuff but there's really nothing here

Just temporarily wired up for comparison shots

Just headlights..

Just the Ironman..

Both..

 

[caseycamby]

So you want a write up for the lightbar or the strips??

I'm definitely not the best guy to talk to for wiring advice. I just get it done enough to work, barely haha

 

[01XterraPhilly]

i cant even get my light bar to work...yea still better than me...haha

What's not working?

 

[01XterraPhilly]

Idk that's the problem. I think it's in the wiring but I'm retarded when it comes to wiring. I thought I had it all hooked up right but apparently not

Late night modding!

My rigged soldering station

The end result!

I'll get some more clear daytime pictures tomorrow.. I've gone LED strip crazy!

 

[Tay-Lo]

Its a completely different LED bug....cause you have so many more options

 

[Prime]

Okay. That's kind of cool.

I've been thinking about a secret led strip mod as well. Maybe I should do it.

 

[caseycamby]

That's true Tay! I love it!

Do it Jay! I'd love to see what you come up with!

 

[caseycamby]

Daytime pictures

 

[bigjim247365]

i take it that they dont do much during the day, correct?

still cool regardless.

 

[caseycamby]

Where they're at in the picture... no, hardly nothing during the day. However, if you move them down to where they're resting on the bumper I'm pretty sure you'd be able to see them during the day. I just don't prefer the look of actually seeing the LEDs. I like it better where you see the glow.

 

[caseycamby]

Getting prepped!

 

[Prime]

For?

 

[caseycamby]

Snorkel install this coming weekend with the seXTERRA crew!

 

[Prime]

Noice!

 

[caseycamby]

I'm nervous about screwing it up! And it's the first time majorly cutting into the X.. :zomg:

 

[Prime]

It's easy. Just mark it up and go for broke. Make sure and paint your holes. Don't need the fender rusting away.

 

[caseycamby]

Snorkel head Xified! With the black screws because NO CHROME!!!

 

[Prime]

Because no chrome. Damn right.

 

[caseycamby]

Black and yellow errrrrrthangggg!

 

[Intender]

nice photobomb from the dog.

And looking forward to seeing this thing installed. You going to swap out the whole airbox or are you going to seal yours up.

 

[caseycamby]

I'm just gonna keep and seal mine. After a drop in a filter. Thinking K&N.. I'll have to research it and see if it's worth it.

 

[GPD605X]

When I was installing mine, I must have paced back and forth for 10 mins after I put the template on lol. Just take your time, check and triple check measurements and then go for broke!

 

[caseycamby]

The sucky thing about mine is that it doesn't have a template. It's techniqually made for a Nissan Navara but it'll work with the X...hopefully haha

 

[GPD605X]

Then quadrouple measure! I would take the fender off but thats just me...

 

[Prime]

Lol. I did my Navara snorkel freehand. And while drunk. It's not that hard.

 

[GPD605X]

You could get a grease pen and tape up the snorkel where you think it should be then draw an outline. Then measure how far the hole is from the edge of the snork and theres your template. Well at least in my mind it is lol

 

[caseycamby]

I'm gonna try to "make" a snorkel tomorrow out of cardboard or something.. We'll see how that goes!

 

[GPD605X]

Yea, you could lay it on some cardboard, trace it out and that should work fine.

 

[caseycamby]

I meant template in that last post, not make a snorkel haha. But yeah, that's the plan, we'll see how good it goes!

 

[caseycamby]

Got both my nuts covered up thanks to Jay!

 

[caseycamby]

Template is made! Looks a little sketchy but it should work haha

Also, I noticed on the snorkel... It has a bump below where the 3" air intake is and it looks like the body was resting right there. Check out the picture. It seems like the hole is going to have to be bigger than 3" for the whole snorkel to sit flush.. What do you guys think?

 

[Muadeeb]

Yeah, you'll probably want a little key for that

[caseycamby]

What exactly do you mean by little key? Haha
