    Rigid Dually back up lights installed

    Yup. What I did was tap into the wire coming out of the trailer plug for the reverse lights. Then run a wire from the uplifted back to those lights. Note that if you don't want the existing reverse light to come on when you use the uplifter, you need to put a diode on the line so that power...

    Master Blaster

    Note that there are 2 MasterBlasters. The 4hp version is what is common for bikes. The 2-motor 4+4 8hp model is what I have and is for vehicles. The nozzle on mine is pretty large. As I said, I also have 2 extensions on it to take it out to 30'. So I have it on the wall and can cover the...

    Recon Tail Lights

    Ok sorry I may be missing something because it was some time ago. I believe the remaining wire is to the running lights (LEDs). Sadly, those things are NOT on the Recon backup light. They are the little DOT lights for having a really wide vehicle. So the Recon light wont have that feature...

    Recon Tail Lights

    Ok, so here is what I did. But I will caveat this that there are other smart folks up here who may give better advice... After I figured out which wires went where, I sat for 15 minutes and said "Do I really want to do this?". When I decided I did, I went all out and assumed that if I...

    Recon Tail Lights

    Suggestion. Just unbolt the light and make sure all the wires are sealed. In order to install the Recon light, he had to cut some plugs/wires. If he did not wrap the other wires, you will likely have problems.

    Recon Tail Lights

    Not on mine. It was a PITA to get the wiring correct but it's been working fine. No errors.

    Damn I am glad I got the Raptor!

    Years and years and years of heavy bench presses wears the hell out of the joints. Some of my stuff is genetic, some is related to injury and some is just from beating the crap out of myself in the gym for decades. Even with the latest surgery, I'll be back at it again in 2-3 weeks. :)

    Recon Tail Lights

    Correct. I have the Recon 3rd brake light but they do lack those 3 markers. They are also a bit tricky to wire. Also, while the brake lights are greate, the backup light on that thing is super dim. Someone else had their existing light smoked and it looks good. I'm not saying the recon...

    Damn I am glad I got the Raptor!

    The truck (and other similar hobbies) are therapy. I am in less pain if I'm moving around doing stuff. It's when I'm idle that it really bugs me. My wife thinks I'm nuts because there are weekends/holidays when I will wake up early and wont stop moving between projects until midnight. So...

    Damn I am glad I got the Raptor!

    My first operation followed a construction accident when I was in college back in 86. I went for 14 years without any issues. Then I had some neck issues (C5/6) and then L5/S1, L4/5 and L3/4 degenerated. Those guys are all gone now. I still have a screwed-up disc at L2/3 but will probably...

    Damn I am glad I got the Raptor!

    Believe it or not, I got my Raptor because of a really bad back problem. I am a Corvette fanatic and had a Z06 and a 71 vert. I also had this crazy little Mazdaspeed 3 that I used as a daily driver. I had owned trucks/jeeps in the past and wanted one anyway because of the risk of...
