Just a Jeep doing Jeep Thangz

5/20/2018

Return client brought back in his Jeep.
He'd purchased this a while ago and brought it in to get some necessities up and running.
now...this go-round was for the fun stuff.

He'd already had the top led bar mounted and wired...but it wasn't 100% perfect.
This time we get that thing wired up....as well as the fender pods, the hood bar and the new bumper pods.
All of these are hooked up to Rough Country's new 6-switch accessory control unit.
This is a nice jeep-specific unit that allows you to have 6 switches (30a) perfectly mounted up high and out of the way...fully hidden wiring and plenty of room to expand if you don't use all 6.
I wired the top bar, fender pods and hood bar all on their own switches and the bumper pods were tied together on their own as well.
That left me with 2 more switches...which were for the funner part (love using that word)

The jeep previously had an air horn installed...but it was not working (compressor was fried)
He'd purchased a whole new kit with identical horns in hopes everything would swap out......well....we were able to retain the existing horn, mirror the mounting, paint to match and then figured out a spot clear in the back under the rear floor to mount the compressor/tank.
So now, the 5th switch is the compressor power and the 6th switch is the "GTFO My Way" button.
The quad horns are quick impressive for how small they are and they hide nicely behind the upgraded grill.

Lifted Dually has light from up high

5/12/2018

Here was a fun little diddy we did on a dually!
Local dealership needed some custom mounting and wiring on a GMC Sierra Dually they had lifted and called us in a pinch.
They had previously setup their client with this GoRhino roof rack and a slew of Rigid Industries Light Pods and Bars. They just needed it call thrown up on too of this massive truck.

Since it was dropped on us over a weekend, Ryan fabricated some mount brackets and mounted that beast of a windsail roof rack up on top precisely over the sun roof and everything else that was up there....then I wired up all the lights.
This was a tricky one as there were so many separate light pods up in one small area, we didn't want 1 million wires running down into the cab....so I wired everything into a single Deutsche plug for easy removal and then ran everything up to a Trigger Controller 4-way wireless control module...so they can hook up additional light bars as needed with ease.
The only other obstacle on this one was that these light bars had accent secondary backlighting (Amber) that needed hooked up.....so I wired them into the parking light circuit that can be manually turned on via the factory lighting switch.

This isn't something most people would typically do, mainly because the hauling capacity of that roof rack is almost maxed out with all the light bars....but it definitely gives it a unique look...that's for sure!

Here is how to properly 'Murder Out' an SUV

4/1/2018

0 Comments

This build right here is what sets us apart from most other shops....in the truest sense.
While this may not be the most epic massive build we're ever done....this shows what we can truly get done when customers trust us and leave it up to the professionals!

This client has been following us for quite some time (since he lives near the shop) and he acquired this GMC Yukon Denali from his 'papa' after his passing. In honor of him, the client wanted to make this Denali stand out among the rest...but make it a nice tribute at the same time. He had a general idea of what he wanted to do; but mainly let us do our thing and couldn't wait to see the final result.

Here is all we did:

De-Chrome ENTIRE vehicle
Tint Windows
Smoke Taillights
Custom Headlights
LED Foglights
LED Light Bar
Custom Front Grill
Lowering Springs
New Wheels
Performance Intake
Painted Brake Calipers

So....this is Phase 1 of this build....the client has already stated he'll be back for me.....but this was the dramatic 'visual' portion of the build....and boy did we acheive that! No other shop in the valley could take a vehicle like this and achieve this look without shipping 1/2 of the parts off for other specialty shops to help.....we facilitated every aspect of this build for the client!

DE-CHROME
This was a massive portion of the build. over 1/2 of the chrome pieces on this car simply DO NOT come off...if they do, you're pretty much assured they'll break and you CAN NOT replace them.....so we did a 50/50 WRAP and PAINT. The parts we could remove, were taking to our homie Lewin to throw down that Gloss Black amazingness....and the rest were wrapped in Gloss Black by the gents over at Eidetic Creations.
In the process of removing ALL of these intricate chrome pieces, we also grenaded the OEM grill and prepped that for paint. We also removed all the factory lighting and either threw some away, prepped for paint or stuck them in the oven for customization....@250 degrees!
We tinted the remainder of the windows to match the rest and give it that sleek murdered look.

SUSPENSION
We installed a 2"/3" Lowering Kit via new springs....this brought the SUV down to the perfect ride height...as they left plenty of room to play with from the factory.
Then we wrapped his nearly new existing tires around his new 22" Dub wheels....which fit perfectly with the overall look of the build we had envisioned!
While we were in there messing with the suspension, we remove the brake assemblies and coated them in a nice hotrod Red brake caliper paint....so they'll stick out through the new wheels and give it that slight accent color that's deserving of this menacing beast!

LIGHTS
The client knew he wanted custom headlights....but in a pinch I couldn't give him the full meal deal of what could be done.....so we settled on 'do what you can in as little time as possible'....and that's what we did.
I split open the headlights and fully blacked out everything. There was some intricate masking involved because GMC actually has a nice little Carbon Fiber panel inside...which is not removable...but I wanted to keep it. The memorial portion of this build was to be a surprise to his G-Ma and recreate his PaPa's business logo and discretely place it somewhere few would notice without it being pointed out.....what better place to do this than INSIDE the headlights.
I had the gents over at Eidetic recreate this old logo from a picture....then I placed it inside the the high beam bucket and it blends in nicely! The client also asked for a some subtle 'Hustle' texts.....as that's how he got to where he is today....so a nice small Matte Black on Gloss Black combo hides it perfectly!
Whilst I was in there, i also threw in some Red Passive Demon Eye paint....so at the right angle, this beast looks pissed off!
For the foglights, we replaced them with our Morimoto XB LED Fog Assemblies.
The Rear taillights got the "trax dark" smoked and the front grill got a Baja Designs 30" Squadron light bar!

This was one of those projects where we touched about every inch of this thing and it truly shows.....it completely changed the look of this ride. So much so, Ryan didn't really want to give it back....and while it was getting the final touches in the shop, NUMEROUS clients offered to take ownership of it before giving it back to the actual owner......which means we must have did something right! Even after the fact, we didn't put our logo on this car and we are STILL getting people saying that they spotted it in the wild and thought "I bet them Trax boys did that thing"

This was such a fun build.....can't wait to get it back for Phase 2!

Nissan Titan with VisionX Light Bar

3/30/2018

0 Comments

Customer brought in his brand new 2018 Nissan Titan for a bit of a lighting upgrade.
He'd previously purchased this VisionX 20" lighting bar and wanted it in the center lower grill area.
Problem was it's not the standard width of that opening.....so a custom bracket was needed in order to center it up and make sure it was sturdy.
After a few slight revisions, I was able to retain a nice look while modifying as little of the factory grill as possible.
Customer also provided a Nissan specific switch that fits nicely in the factory switch panel.....few wires integrated later and the switch works as if it came like that from the factory!

Elderly Clients can now see and be seen with LED upgrades

This was another one of those fun projects.
Client from out of State was worried about his parents here in Idaho.
His father said he had a hard time seeing at night and was also worried about them getting rear-ended because of all the texters nowadays.

So, for the front, I added Dual 6" Diode Dynamic Stage Series light bars and they are activated off of the factory low beams....so this way they'll be on during the day via DRLs and on automatically at night so his father doesn't have to worry about turning them on/off.
These are an SAE legal auxiliary light and since they are below the factory headlights and aimed properly, they can be on and not illegal and will not obstruct the view on on-coming drivers....which this is all done in the matter of safety and that was taken into account.

The rear end was a fun little custom job.
We discussed MULTIPLE different ways to attack this issue of drivers to the rear of the car not paying attention.
After we decided on upgrading the factory 3rd brake light to a much brighter version (via Morimoto's DRL LED bar)....I then added a super slick Brake Pulsing module that allowed me to program the pulses any way I felt was necessary.
We decided on CONSTANT RANDOM PULSES....so whenever the brakes are depressed, the 3rd brake like will constantly and randomly pulse....
Now, some of you are saying "Hey, that'd be annoying during stop/n/go traffic".....well....Too Bad.....I'm helping the elderly out and giving them annoying tech so that they stay safe!
Actually...the though process around this is that MOST texters/drivers look down/away more than the average distracted driver...so a single triple or quad brake pulse isn't enough.....a constant pulse is better; because you never know when they eventually look up...might as well make sure they know you're stopped the entire time!

In the end, this was a fun project and I love helping people out....especially with my knowledge of automotive lighting...it's good to put it to use in a safe manner rather than always for 'show'.
The customer was super happy....just check the yelp review below!

Chevrolet Colorado gets equipped for the road

3/16/2018

This one was another team effort between Ryan and I....and unfortunately someone (not naming names....but it doesn't start with a 'T') forgot to take before/after pics of the truck fully finished......actually...the customer is supposed to come back for some adjustments and we'll snag pics and upload them here later.

Here is what we did:

ZONE leveling kit
FabFour Front and Rear Bumpers
30" Baja Designs S8 Light Bar
Tinted Windows
Echomaster GM Specific Front Camera
Pac-Audio GM-specific Video Integration Module

The bumpers on this one were a fun one.....the rear bumper wasn't too bad, went on with minimal issues.
The front, however, needed to have the factory bumper/fascia trimmed to manufacturer specifications.....which we did meticulously....and after we bolted the bumper on, we noticed their measurements and bumper were OFF. Normally we don't point fingers....but after measuring the bumper, we noticed it was tweaked a bit......nothing noticeable to the average Joe (sorry Joe, your mum gave you that name and now everyone uses you to compare to normalcy).....but when mated up with the factory fascia lines, it was off about 1/4".....so after continuous tweaking and fitment, we got the bumper to fit as best as possible and the customer was stoked with it.

We also tinted the windows all around to give the owner a sense of cover....as well as block harmful UV rays.

The front camera integration wasn't a big deal now that we've done a few of these modules...they are SUPER nice and really highly un-used as far as the the full capabilities of them.....but for this purpose, they are the perfect match.
The owner now has factory backup camera and can easily access the front camera with the touch of a button.....if that's too much work, this module integrates with the factory speed sensors and when he's going 10 mph or slower, the front camera kicks on to show objects that may not be seen from the drivers position.....super slick.
In the future, the owner can add side blind-spot cameras and they can be activated via button or turn-signals....

Colorado ZR2 is back, and it's brighter than ever

Was really glad to see this return client's number pop up on my phone....he's such a joy to work with....him and his wife....they really do make me enjoy doing what I do.

I'd previously added brighter headlights and some safety features to this truck.....but JUST HID headlights wasn't enough.....so....we went BIG!

30 Inches to be exact!

This truck, due to it's performance package from the factory, did not come with Fog Lights....so we needed to add more light somehow....so I opted for the light bar route....but not how most 'dude bros' add them.

I removed his entire bumper, modified factory air intakes and plastic panels to fit this Rough Country 30" Black Series LED light bar.
It tucks nicely into a factory opening in the grill/bumper area.
I ran the switch into the cab and mounted it next to the factory light switch for easy use.

Now he'll not have a single issue seeing what's in front of him...whether that's 20' for a 1/4 mile!

Toyota Tundra with Tesla Screen, a Tesdra?

12/11/2017

2 Comments

Return Client brought his Toyota Tundra back for some more upgrades.
First round we just installed some new headlights with our Elite HID System....this time he wanted even MORE lighting and some gnarly new tech inside of the cab.

First things first.....exterior lighting upgrade!

The owner had already replaced the lower fog lights with the Morimoto LED Pods....which are fine for most...but he wanted more, so we swapped those out for the Baja Designs Squadron Sport Wide Cornering pods with custom bezels to make them look OEM and fit the curvature of the truck's bumper.
Next, we shoe-horned in a 30" Baja Designs S8 Spot/Flood Combo bar and tied in the Parking Light Circuit to the S8's Amber Accent lights.
The Foglights are wired into the factory fog switch, so that operates normal.
The S8 bar is wired into a newly added 'Zombie Light' switch that takes the place of a dummy switch in the lower Left Hand side area near the factory light adjustments and other switches. The new switch is wired into the factory lighting circuit so you can find it at night to activate 'holy hell' lighting mode.

While I was messing around with the lights, I installed a Front Facing camera in the OEM Toyota logo.

Moving on to the interior, the old headunit had all the bells and whistles anyone might want.....but this replacement beats the crap out of it.........because....well, it's Tesla inspired!

Here we've got a 12.1" Tesla-ish screen that entirely replaces the existing headunit AND HVAC system.
Normally I'm not too into these units, because they use older Android software and don't integrate very well.
This one is a game changer.
It fully integrates and replaces every feature on the truck and adds a ton of new ones. As you can see with the pics I took, here are just SOME of the features:

12.1 inch vertical touch screen, Tesla style.
Supports split screen display two functions at the same time.
Supports full screen display of navigation map.
Installation of Android apps in Play Store and from “Unknown sources”.
GPS navigation with Android apps of your choice.
WiFi Internet connection.
Bluetooth music and hands-free calling.
MirrorLink with smartphones.
Touch control of auto A/C. Display car info like RPM, speed. Optional TV, DVD, DVR modules, etc.
Retains factory backup cam, USB, steering wheel control, AUX input.
Support most audio and video format.
Support Picture in Picture (PIP) playback of movies.
EQ balanced audio processing technology and 5.1 DSP Audio.
Support RCA rearview camera and other RCA Video input.

I also added a qI wireless charging pad in his center console....he supplied the unit, which works just fine; but we offer a whole line of vehicle-specific units that fit flawlessly into your vehicle without knowing it wasn't stock/OEM.

This unit is something else.....I'll report back in a while on this post to see what the customer thinks after a few weeks of use......but this unit can be installed in multiple vehicles, different makes/models with more added all the time...so hit me up if this is something you'd like.

F150 goes Full Off-Road Rescue Mode

11/10/2017

0 Comments

We've got another good collaboration with a local dealership.
Client with a 2015 Ford F150 needed a ton of work done and we were about to get it done for them.

Here is what we ended up doing with this truck:

3" Lift Kit
33" Nitto Ridge Grappler Tires
18x9 Fuel Recoil Wheels
FabFour Performance Bumper
Warn 12k lb Winch
T-Rex Grill with Curved LED Light Bar
Rear Air Bags and On-Board Compressor
Front-Mount Air Tank for Remote Filling on-site

This was a great build....as the customer wanted to be able to pull just about anything out that may be stuck and help service downed vehicles.
So now he can do all of those things and more if needed.

The Lift/Wheel/Tire combo will give him much more ground clearance so he can go off-roading to rescue whomever may need the assistance.
The Bumper hides the massive 12,000lb recovery winch while protecting the truck from just about anything that may present an issue.
The grill/light-bars will allow more airflow to the engine as well as provide plenty of light to see what needs to be seen.

Darkness! This Tundra wants to fly under the radar!

Here we have a brand new 2017 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition in for some cosmetic upgrades.....definitely a case were even the smallest mods can change the look of a truck completely.

First we tinted the windows all around...this not only gives the truck a more blacked out look; but blocks out harmful sun rays and keeps the interior Cold/Hot depending on the time of year.

Next we removed as much chrome stuff as possible on the truck.....Bumpers, Mirror Covers, handles and more......shipped those off for paint and they returned with that OEM-Matched paint quality our clients have come to love....they look like they came that way from the factory and makes this truck look stealthy as all get-up.

Next....the bigger, non-factory looking mod.....Nice and beefy Rigid Industries Grill with a single 20" LED light bar and 2 accompanying LED Cube pods.
Again....all black to match the theme...but now the owner has more lighting to help see at night and off-road if necessary.

After all of that we had our buddies over at Tough Liner shoot some fresh bedliner to help protect the bed and make everything look stealthy!

Next up will hopefully be some custom headlight for this...because those chrome uglies need to go now!

Don't forget, if you can think of something you want done but just not sure where to go....just hit us up.....we can do just about anything for you and your vehicles!!

Lifted Chevy goes Lower? and Smaller?

10/30/2017

0 Comments

Return client brought in his 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 for some long-road driving upgrades.
He'd previously had a lesser quality lift kit installed with some big American Force Wheels and tires....but not of that promoted for good highway driving and wore down pretty quick......so we did the opposite of what we normally do.

We lowered it and put on some more road worthy wheels/tires.

We Removed the massive lift and installed a smaller lift.
Then we installed some 20x10 Fuel Triton Wheels with 33/12.50/20 Nitto Ridge Grappler tires.

Truck still looks killer and will hold up much better on his Cali-runs!

Taco can now see and winch

8/12/2017

Client brought in his Toyota Tacoma that he just installed this new badass bumper on.
He figured out how to wire up the winch....which is pretty simple....but the Baja Designs 20" bar that came with it was a different story....since it's got a few switches and somewhat complicated wiring harness.

No problem for us......this is what we do!

So I re-wired the winch wiring, to make it look more OEM-ish...then started wiring up the relay harness.
He wanted an OEM-ish look for the switches, as well as in a location that makes sense....so I fabricated a bracket to fit into an OEM pocket by the steering wheel and installed the very Non-OEM switches.

Fit and finish of everything was exactly what he wanted and now he's got full control of his winch and light bar.

That's too much light....said no-one ever

6/16/2017

Client brought in his GMC Sierra for a Lumen-bump!
He'd received all these light bars as a present and wanted to get them installed.
Here is what he brought to the table:
50" LED bar
20" LED Bar
3" LED Cube X 4

I knew what he needed so I got him the necessary parts to fit the truck....which were the GMC Specific Roof Mount Brackets and Front Bumper Brackets...all from Rough Country.

Original goal was to put 2 of the front cubes in the side mirror gaps...but because of how big the pods were and how they mounted; it just wasn't possible without them looking ghetto...so I tossed two of them into the center grill area...then bolted up the lower one centered in the bumper gap and then wrestled the top bar into place....all of which were powered via a single switch inside the cabin.

The other 2 pods were used as backup assist lights when reversing...and WOW, did they help...soo much light when you slam that beast into reverse!

Overall....I'm not a fan of roof-mount bars....but when someone wants it added, i'll gladly offer my expertise and get these installed properly and ensure year of usability....
He's got plenty of light for open-road driving now...which is the main goal and he was happy with the outcome.
Hopefully we'll see this truck back for even more upgrades!

Client brought in his Silverado for a much needed light upgrade...but for safety reasons mainly.

He drives up to Alaska in the Spring and Returns in the Fall...and he's had WAY too many close encounters of the Wild-Kind....so he wanted to be able to see the animals wayyyy before he needs to apply the brakes.

He wanted as much forward lighting as possible...but while staying as concealed (anti-theft) and un-obtrusive as possible.
So....I knew right away my Baja Designs Onyx-6 30" High-Powered Series bar was the way to go.
This is no small bar....but it's small enough to be crammed into his grill area.

Fabricated a custom bracket and wired everything up to a switch on his dash.
Now, at the flick of the switch, he should be able to spot a moose/bear/deer/Canadians at about a MILE range.....pretty impressive, eh?!?!

Had a good buddy bring in his new 'toy' for some rehab work.
He picked up this stolen/salvaged bike from an auction....and it was WAYYYYY worse than the first few pics. The thief painted the ENTIRE bike white to hide the fact it was stolen.

So my buddy took the time to stripe the whole bike with chemical stripper....and it did a decent job.....but for the price he picked it up for, you can't really complain.

So, then he put on dirk-bike handle bars and ordered a whole new faring kit...
He also make a sweet custom intake for it....which works well, but now the bike doesn't like the excess air-flow...so he needed to purchase a performance chip to tell the bike to put more fuel in it.

Big thing with this build was it needed to be done in a short amount of time before he headed to Alabama for the summer...where he planned on using it.
So I got to stripping things down.
Removed the Tach/gauges....cause who needs to see where they are going?
Removed excess wires up front

Now onto the tails.....wanted a sleeker look with brighter LEDs on them...so I hacked up the existing housings, molded it to fit the bike better and added 3 smoked red led strips for a MUCH brighter/safer appearance.

For the headlight....we're not quite done with this....but basically added Diode Dynamics new SS6 Stage Series DOT LED Light Bar on a custom bracket...this light is BRIGHT...and perfect for the little bike.

All that being said, I was somewhat concerned we wouldn't have enough juice....so we replaced the OEM stater with a higher powered wound stater....so we should be good to go in the electrical department.

Return Client brough his Silverado back in after a dealership failed to align his front end and replace his lights back to how I had them; after he smacked a deer.

They had removed lights I installed and put in the incorrect ones and repeatedly told him it was correct.....luckily he knew better and called me up immediately.

This guy does a lot of open road driving in the mountains and his wife drives it as well....after I put the 55watt low beams and 35watt fogs in it, they were now completely comfortable driving this at night anywhere.

So, after a few hours of attempting to align the truck up better than the collision center did, I got his lights fix and aligned how he liked them....as well as got the correct bulbs ordered/installed back to what he was used to.
Oh....and since he couldn't get enough lights, I installed a 20" Baja Designs S8 Driving/Spot Combo bar in the lower bumper opening. Very stealthy and VERY bright for how small it is.

NOW he's got MORE than enough light to see ALL the deer.

This is a super awesome return customer and he was beyond stoked with how everything turned out!

Silverado getting some lumens

Past client brought his Silverado back in for some more serious lighting upgrades.

A few months ago I wired up his aftermarket headlights the proper way, to ensure everything worked and wasn't cluttering up the engine bay.
Well....the cheap halogen lights that came with them both died after a few short months (which is another reason aftermarket cheapy lights suck).

So.....instead of just fixing those, we upgraded everything.

Morimoto HID System w/ Diode Dynamic 8000k Bulbs (didn't want to, but client insisted)
Morimoto LED Fog Light Housings (pencil beam pattern)
Rough Country 20" LED Bar and custom bracket in middle grill area.

This is a definitely upgrade over what he had before.....the light bar is a perfect location and is barely noticeable....it's not going to provide you enough light to make plants wake up.....but in a pinch, you'll be able to see whatever is in front of you.
The LED fog lights are a perfect example of how products should have came from the factory....not blindingly bright, but just enough light where you need it and not where you don't.
The headlight HIDs....well they are bright, but the aftermarket housings/projectors are horrible from the getgo...so they still need improvement....but for now, he's got plenty of light!

Jeep Wrangler - HID Upgrade

We get this quite a lot, but clients/friends think their 'project' is too small for us to care to do for them......NONSENSE!

No job is too big or too small for us to do.
In this case...it was both....
It was Too big to fit into my garage.....but the install was super simple.

Customer provided me with a cheaper eBay HID kit that claimed to have everything needed....but since I've been doing this for over 10 years now, I knew the $50 special didn't have what the JEEP Needed....but that's why you come to the expert!

Had him on his way in a matter of minutes with his new, blinding, non-focused HID headlights :-D

This is a reminder.....yes, HIDs may be bright and cool....but it's not cool when you put them on OEM Halogen headlights....ESPECIALLY when it's lifted.

Good lookin' Jeep tho!

Here's our first of MANY trucks being built for local dealerships....this one is a 2016 chevrolet 2500 and we're installing:

5 inch zone lift kit
35x12.50 20 cooper tires
20x10 0 offset fuel rims
Rigid 50" night force curved bar

Everything on this truck is a perfect upgrade to an already amazing vehicle and looks as if it should come that way....even the lightbar, which has a smoked lens on it, blends into the truck and sits low enough that it's not classified as a 'BroBar' (don't be that guy....it's like a massive wing on a car....but on a truck.....not cool)

A client came to us after he moved up here from Florida. Super cool dude, but has just had the runaround on everything done to his truck and hasn't satisfied with any of it.
This is going to be a 2-part build...as I'm going to build him some custom headlights to replace the monstrosities that he has currently installed.

This go-around Ryan is up first.

Here is what we put on:
4.5 rough country lift kit
2.5 fox coil over front shocks
2.0 fox rear shocks
Nfab tube bumper
40" Curved LED Light Bar
Nitto 35x12.50 20
Fuel 2 piece 20 rims
Amp research drop steps

This definitely updated the look of the truck and the owner was stoked to have it done.

Next up...headlights.....if I ever get some free time!

Tacoma - Uber Lighting Upgrade No 2

1/17/2015

Told you he'd be back!

Good client brought his Toyota Tacoma back for more lighting.....while working on everything else, I finished up retrofitting his fog light housings with some Morimoto MatchBox Mini projectors (with bi-xenon shields removed).
Over Christmas break, we were talking and he was ready to upgrade to an even BETTER light bar in addition to his Heretic 20" light bar.....so......naturally I opted for my premium performance brand, Baja Design.
Jesse had already located some brackets made specifically for his truck and had them on their way (even thought he'll need to have them powder coated later).

We went with Baja Designs 50" Curved OnX6 Driving/Spot Combo bar and HOLY CRAP...this bar is insane! Uber amounts of light output on this thing.

I also wired up his fog lights now that they were done...and even put Red Demon Eye Accent lights in them on a strobing/dimming wireless control module.

I installed 4 switches in his center console....1 for Baja, 1 For Heretic and 1 for future. The Chrome button is for Baja's Unique 'strobe' effect built into the uber bar.....for when someone REALLY pisses you off, you can simply/safely send them into an epileptic seizure with the flick of a button.

This truck will have no problem seeing animals and road issues while driving back-n-forth from North Dakota to Idaho.

Client brought in his truck for a 'quick' install before I realized it was going to be a much longer process.

Here is what he brought in:

35watt Morimoto 4300k Low Beam HIDs
55watt Morimoto 3000k Fog Light HIDs
Morimoto MatchBox Mini Projectors for the Fog Lights
Fog Light Housings
Anzo Aftermarket Projectors
Aftermarket LED Strip Lights (Switchback White and Amber)

The HIDs were self explanatory...but the Fog Lights just don't simply 'go in'...I have to retrofit them......SOOOOOOO
I installed a Heretic LED LITE-Series Light Bar instead and told him to bring the truck back when I get the fogs retrofitted.

This thing was bright!

Customer brought in an led lightbar that he bought from an online store and needed it mounted.
He has plans of mounting another bar up top so this one needed to go somewhere lower.

I custom welded a bracket to make it fit centered in the front lower grill area and I hid the mounting brackets the best I could via the OEM grill cover.

SuperMoto - LED Light Bar Headlight? YUP!

One of the best employees that does not receive a paycheck has been building a super sick Supermoto street bike over the past few months with his Honda CRF450X and he needed me to update his lighting......what better way than getting a prototype LED light bar from easily the BEST manufacturer of aftermarket light bars!
Put a little 1 lb 6700 lumen Heretic light bar in a custom cut-out slot on his number plate.
This thing looks amazing and he'll be able to see everything...even the people moving their rear-view mirrors and side mirrors :)
I'm not the one to encourage that type of behavior, but in this situation, it's the drivers fault for being in front of such a badass bike with such a badass headlight!
Move Biotch...get out the way!!
