Picked up my LED's today....this time i did a 36" Strip with 48 LED's per foot, RGB style.

Of course it didnt come pre wired......they wouldnt want to make it easy for me.  Well its not that hard i guess.

Dont Hate on my Wire Rack!   

The old school wire twist trick....

Just like that and were in business!

Time to toss the Logo on the window....

I wonder how the white coating i did will reflect the light from the LED's.......

While im at it, look what else i picked up...

nothin but a new 2150

An Iraggi 260 amp alt

dont they make a great couple? ^^^^^

Ok so she didnt like the horizontal bars......so i picked up the new "vertical" grill and the bumper insert.  The bumper insert was the wrong one so i gotta send it back, at least the grill worked out nice.....and i had already done the hard part so this wasnt so bad of a switch.

 

Just like that......

Ok my goal for the day was grill, battery, alternator and all the 1/0....well most of it.

Heres a pic of some of the items ill be using today

[meade916]

Of course all 1/0 ring terminals are soldered solid.....i dont do it any other way

Even after i butcher the stock wires from their stock terminals....they get a brand new ring and of course soldered solid.  Kinda tricky doing it while under the hood but after the caddy im used to it

Now before i finish the battery wiring, i may as well knock the alt out too.  It gets all 1/0 itself so the battery wiring wouldnt be complete without getting this done.  Its a Iraggi 260 BTW 

More "under the hood" soldering...

Oh ya, one last pic.....was dark out by the time i punched the clock for the evening. I had issues with this battery install so it took a while but its done now!
