Finally got all my interior lights switched over to LEDs. Including eight LED pods in my camper top. And holy cow! They're bright!
Big thanks to DaveInDenver and Squishy! for helping me out on this endeavor.:thumb:

Finally repaired my first wheeling damage on the subframe. Took a bit of man power and some good welding by Squishy! Thanks for the help bud!

Boogers!!! I hate welding upside-down. I'm pretty terrible at getting pretty welds that way. They be strong though.

Mr. Cardinal came down yesterday and helped wire up a L.E.D light bar for the interior of my Roof Top Tent:bowdown:. Got the light kit from Ross Miller. Great product.

Also got some maint done on the tent. Minor stuff before Outlaws:cool:.

New LEDs are in, so that means more wiring. Four sets of lights down, and one to go.

Dang their bright! lol

Looks like you may have not cleaned the metal enough. I've found that welding upside down is much more intolerant of dirty metal than right side up. I've found that a good 1/2 inch on all sides of the weld gives me enough safety margin, and the welds come out pretty clean. Just my .02 though, I'm not a pro, take it for what its worth (not much :D ) Good on ya for helping out a buddy!

Missed the Jenny Creek day, but did add some bling up front along with new grease and seals for the axle.

Finally got new lower ball joints in. And good thing too. The old one were toast. Now she rides smooth with no grinding, popping, and snapping noises. lol

Also, while I was at it, I put my strut spacers back in. So she sits about 2 inches higher in the front now. So now I need to get my rear springs set up correctly to compensate and level it all out.

Huge thanks to Squishy for helping me out!:beer::thumb:

I wired up an old school foot switch for my light bar and driving lights. And I hooked up another set of driving lights. Works just as I had hoped.. I'm looping the power that goes into the switches- the juice the powers the lights still comes out of the relays. Looking forward to the next night run :)
