goodvibez Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Here are some more lights that are going in my truck. These are going in the gap on my mirrors. These are made by pro comp and are very bright! Pretty stoked to get um' in! Funny how the people who have a louder system than you will usually give you a compliment about your setup because they know how much blood, sweat, time, and money you put into it. The people who criticize or try and one up you....have a p.o.s to no system at all and will tell you all about this "other" guys system! Saddley I'm sure if I meet this "other" guy...he will probably tell me he thinks your just as annoying as I think you are! I'm not compensating, just proud of fabricating!

goodvibez Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Ok so here's what I really wanted to post and that is the new new guages installed. First took a piece of alluminium and cut to fit in the original spot for my a/c controls, I'm moving those down to the center console(still not finished) Then screwed a piece of 1/2" mdf made a riser for them, Later decided to add another 1/4" pice on the back to raise it up even more and wrapped that in secondskin sound dampner becuase it's black and had a smooth texture Test fiting, thats as center as I could get them. slightly off but I couldn't move any further to the right so this will have to do for now. Quick disconnects....well with that many it's not reeally quick so...here's my disconnects lol! Wiring for the temp probe, fan power, all the power for the guages and one wire to the sub output. Added a fuse block to the rear and this will power the guages and my rear seats when I install them, those things are so handy! Before I had the battery guage powered off the front main batt and I didn't feel like I was getting accurate readings so I changed it to this set up so I can actually tell how the bass drops effect my voltage. Definatly a difference going right to the source. Was so happy to see these all light up for the first time, they look friggin awesome! used my dd-1 and calibrated the OM-1 then threw um' in! Well there ya have it! Can't wait to get my fans and wire them up too!

goodvibez Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Thanks B! Hummer's lookin sick man! This was a fairly simple way to install these gauges, I just wish GM had made the opening a little wider but oh well, I don't want to cut it because I think with the way the opening has a roundover around it, it would look tacky to just take a dremel and cutoff wheel and openen it up a little more. I was thinking about doing some bodywork and gluing them to the faceplate like steve did on his car and kevosinn's van. For now they are good, I may put in a piece of plexi and smoke it because these things are bright! They look sweet at night, but I catch myself watching thd dancing lights a little more than I should lol! Also I posted this in the D'amore section so appologies to you have seen this twice!

goodvibez Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Soooo tried my hand at some plexi work today, here's how that went First cut taced and cut a piece with the circular saw Wedged in there perfect! cut a sample piece and sprayed some of this night shades to see how dark I wanted it. Used some hot glue and some CA glue to hold it in place, sits in there pretty sturdy and flush Taped it off and sprayed It came out pretty good, maybe a little on the dark side hehe. It's nighttime so it was kind of hard to get a good pic with the lighting I tried a few different ways. You cant see anything behind the glass unless you turn the truck on so it looks just gloss black with everything off wich I like. Also this night shades stuff tends to lighten over time so I'm going to roll with it like this for a while and decide if I like it. So far it's pretty sweet! BTW you can only see the glue when you shine a bright light at it, its just reflecting the flash, normally you cannot see any glue I like it so far, if I redo it I may mask off the white lettering in the center so that it comes out a little brighter when I spray the darkshades. My phone died so I didnt get to take all the pics I wanted so I'll post a few more either later tonight or tomorrow.

goodvibez Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Thanks man I'm glad I went for it, It makes it a little cleaner IMHO. Here's a couple more I got my phone charged and took these, it's just really hard to get the lighting right! Also took a video that is uploading now! With gauges off and on of obviously. Like I said b4 you can only see the glue when I use flash because it reflects off of it, normally you can't. This vid is only a minute long but it's takeing forever to upload, when it does I'll edit this post and add it.

K_SubieXT Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 What is that center meter? Don't think I've seen that one before My 95 Jeep Cherokee Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/157643-1995-jeep-cherokee-build-sub-is-in-and-playing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodvibez Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 It;s the SMD OM-1, output meter. It probably looks the coolest of the three because how it sweeps back and forth. But the TM-1 IS the coolest because of what it can do, IMHO Funny how the people who have a louder system than you will usually give you a compliment about your setup because they know how much blood, sweat, time, and money you put into it.
