5 watermelon lights in amber with beyond dirt on the outside edge. My two cents worth. Whatever SH TUBE and you decide will look great. Safe travels and good health.
I'd do 6 lights only smaller that way, it doesn't rub on the fender and you have the original look. It looks better. I'm sorry to hear they messed up on the hood.
I agree to stick with the original 6 lights, but smaller to allow for the trimming to eliminate the rubbing. Watermelon lights that could possibly flash a different color with turn signals???
In things like this where you have a number items in a line whether it be lights, windows, trees etc. it's always considered that an odd number is more pleasing to the eye than a even. So I would chose five over four.
I agree with other comments about engraving "Beyond Dirt" on the outside edges of each one will look cool. I don't know about watermelon lights I've never seen them, probably because they were created after I had to retire due to my health. If you want the same size round ones then go with 5, personally I would go with 6 slightly smaller ones so the light bars won't scrape the fenders. However, if you like the watermelon lights then go for it.
Aww hell yeah I'm happy to see the ol girl coming home... I wad thinking about the truck the other day and what was going on with her. Congrats 🎉 she's coming home
It sounds like y’all have a really tough go at it. I think the 4 watermelon lights would look really good on the breathers. Just giving an opinion though. Glad to hear from you guys. 😁
I was close yesterday. Delivered to our yard in Richland. I know it’s about 250 miles away but I live in Tennessee. Great to see your getting rolling again. Definitely the watermelon lights.
Yeah you sorta run into issues when ordering parts for a certain year and the manufactures have a tendency to mess up the part numbers But looking forward to seeing you back on the road again Please shoot a video of your test runs. Oh and I hope the new exhaust has the same exhaust note as before, that was a cool sounding truck
So happy for you nikki, getting your truck back , thats going to be awesome, hope everything works perfect right off the bat! Youve been watin long enough!!
Glad to hear you are close to getting back on the road! Test drive is a great idea. Good luck with whatever you decide on the finishing touches! Looking forward to new video's! Stay safe!
The thing about the hood is not only does it matter about the year its also if it is curved at the top or flat and length I had a hell of a time trying to find a used hood for my T800 so I just decided to try my hand at bodywork and to my surprise it turned out pretty good, anyways glad to see your getting it back together. 👍👍👍
This is probably old history, but if you still have any gastric problems you may want to ask for an EKG and also cardiosonigram. Last week I had a mild heart attack and needed two stents which I got immediately. My stomach problem is already much less, so that is why I thought of you. Some blood vessels that run to the heart also run to the stomach area, which is why poor blood flow to the heart can also impact the stomach area and cause pain. I hope things are looking up for you, stay safe and be well. James Goss
5 lights definitely watermelon, they are so much brighter than the flat lights and I would stick with just amber instead of the dual revolution. The problem with the dual color lights is most states the DOT will harass you if you run a different color while on the roads.
Just found your channel recently on TH-cam. I will be getting into the dump truck business in a few months. Love your videos, especially the one when you took your kid along for the ride 😃.
Glad to hear the truck is back. Been too long. As far as the lights, i would go with either 4watermelon lights, or maybe think about putting some pebny lights in the breather staunless. Just a thought
I think the best way is 4 watermelon lights…maybe led? Either way it would look fantastic and shiny! Keep the shiny side up and between the ditches…love the videos and pictures too…
My dad’s T800 has 3 watermelon lights on the air cleaners and I think it looks pretty good. Your logo on the side would look good too, maybe even backlit.
I would do 3 or 4 lights but maybe make them flush ( if possible) with that bracket so its completely flat on the part that shows the lights. Beyond Dirt on the outside edge would look cool!
Ha Dauiminique,glad you are getting your truck back and how about you go with 4 lights for your air cleaners but keep 5 spaces. Two at the top and two on the bottom and get a cut out peace from the middle with your logo on with lights behind it.
Watermelon lights since you have round cab lights. I suggest watermelon lights on top of the cab to match. SOOOO GLAD TO SEE IT POLISHED!!! Ohhh that makes me happy 😊. I know you’ll be happy to have it back up and running. Take care..🙏
Can’t wait to see the ol rig back home. I wouldn’t have guessed that there was such a difference in T-800 parts from 07 on… My honest opinion on the lights, I can’t seem to get onboard with the watermelon lights. I really like the penny lights. But that’s your rig, you do what you like!
FINALLY ! So happy for you. I know it's not perfect, but I think it looks pretty good considering how it left ! Plus you'll be back doing what you love, and that makes it perfect !! And as far as the lights go, if it were me I'd go 5 amber watermelon, but it's your baby not mine. I just think 4 don't fill that space enough.
My daughters grooming van got hit the same time as your truck accident.Shes still waiting to get it back.She had some injuries.Dash cam showed other driver ran stop sign.Lost wages could be a problem from not having the van.. She has a lawyer handling it now. Repairs and replacement of parts is running over the estimate with medical bills. Good Luck to you getting it on the road. Supply chain sucks.
If you’re going to change the breather lights to watermelon on the breather, do you plan to change the lights on the dump bed as well? I think keeping the lights pretty similar in style would look better.. and keep the led color similar.. more lights the better! Get that old girl lite up! If the budget allows, let’s get a ton more lights installed on that truck to really lite up during the night and early mornings, lol.
Beyond dirt on the sides and 1 heart, 1 club, 1 diamond, and 1 spade in amber Make yourself be one of a kind cutout shapes on stainless put lights behind make logo Cutouts the side as well so they light up Very sleek and sharp at night.
I’d do 4 lights either watermelon or flat but I would do something clear lens but still amber when they are on the clear lens will let it blend in with custom panel some
Hi Dauminique. Can't wait to see you back on the road again. I was hoping to meet you at MATS but lack of funds and the high cost of hotel/motel rooms in the area were to much for me. One last thing. You need to check your audio. This video your audio was only coming out of the right side. Be safe
do watermelon lights but hook them up to the turn signals as well. Maybe run white with parking lights and have then flash orange if possible for turn signal. Or just do all orange
Check out rlk customs for their Mellon brackets that tuck in tight to the hood below/behind the elephant ear. They also make one that puts a Mellon behind the cleaner between the straps. The front brackets are for w9’s so I had to slightly modify the hood latch bracket to clear on the T800’s.
I say go with the 5 watermelon lights with the companies name engraved into the light bar for the air cleaner and put lights in the top of the air cleaner would be pretty cool.
I’d go with the 4 watermelon lights that’s change from amber to any color you choose and have beyond dirt engraved with a light to light it up, I would change all your amber lights to matching watermelon lights that change, I’d even do a custom bumper as well, you could even have someone draw you up a design of what it would like as well and do few different designs and have vote of which one to go with.
Do four watermelon duel revolution lights with Beyond Dirt logo. Amber and blue for colors. I am going to wear my Beyond Dirt hoodie on sept 11th when I fly in for my Alaskan crusie I will wave when I fly over.
5 amber lights the same as you have now with beyond dirt down the side would be the best. I'm not a fan of water melon lights myself. Keep it classic and cool.
5 amber watermelon lights and "beyond dirt" engraved on the side would look great, but it's your truck. I'm sure it'll look good whatever you decide! Be safe out there!
Well im thinking 5 switchable colors watermelon lights. With beyond dirt cut out witha switchable lighted back light to match the watermelon colors. Just my little 2 cents. Maybe just maybe some underglow lights to round it all out!!
What about 4 Watermelon LED’s, and have them laser cut “Beyond Dirt” on the outside edge, and have them put a couple of bright LED lights in behind the “Beyond Dirt” so it will light up the cut-out letters??! I think that would look pretty cool, as long as it’s not too much trouble to keep them working!
I like the watermelon lights .if it was me I would see want Rob can come up with. I also learned when driving the tow truck the more lights a truck they look beautiful
4 watermelon LED lights and Beyond Dirt engraved on the sides, SH Tube does an awesome job.
That's what I'm thinking of also 🤔 ,can't wait until she gets her truck back so she can get back to work & more videos from in the dump truck

5 watermelon lights in amber with beyond dirt on the outside edge. My two cents worth. Whatever SH TUBE and you decide will look great.

2" LED Bee hives, easy to match up for replacement. And always go with an odd number , so 5 of them.
5 flat orange lights. Beyond dirt on the side is a great idea.
You need to get with Rob, and let SH Tube fix you up! You would be styling like nobody else in your area!❤
I agree with other comments about engraving "Beyond Dirt" on the outside edges of each one will look cool.

Way happy you're almost back on the Road. Like your trucking videos the best! ❤😊
Aww hell yeah I'm happy to see the ol girl coming home... I wad thinking about the truck the other day and what was going on with her. Congrats 🎉 she's coming home
I also agree with emptypockets 2467. 4 watermelon lights & Beyond Dirt on the side. Good Luck on getting your truck back.
Glad to see progress on the truck, hopefully they can get everything dialed in soon so you can get back on the road.
Thanks for the update. 4 watermelon lights, engraved on the side!
Thank you mentioning Mike of Boston Trucker! Mike and all of us out east having been rooting for your trucks return. Good Luck!!🍀🇺🇸
Hello Dauminique, I can't wait until you get your dump truck back home from the repair shop hope it does good for you
It sounds like y’all have a really tough go at it. I think the 4 watermelon lights would look really good on the breathers. Just giving an opinion though. Glad to hear from you guys. 😁
I was close yesterday. Delivered to our yard in Richland. I know it’s about 250 miles away but I live in Tennessee. Great to see your getting rolling again. Definitely the watermelon lights.
yea! U could get those light plate's cut out, in2 anything! as well as, make them any size....good luck! gitte'r done!
Yeah you sorta run into issues when ordering parts for a certain year and the manufactures have a tendency to mess up the part numbers
But looking forward to seeing you back on the road again
Please shoot a video of your test runs.

I’m getting a new one but it’s aftermarket.

One thing that drives me nuts, is like the endless options to the t800s on certain stuff...
Do the dual revolution led flats
Put beyond dirt on the light bar where you said it would be, and that would be good .
glad to see you're keeping the truck and fixing it. Can't wait to see some new driving videos with it back in action.
Just found your channel recently on TH-cam. I will be getting into the dump truck business in a few months. Love your videos, especially the one when you took your kid along for the ride 😃.
Looking forward to you and the truck 🚚 ❤

Good luck getting it back. I say 4-5 watermelon lights with matching colors in the air cleaner.
Watermelon lights since you have round cab lights. I suggest watermelon lights on top of the cab to match. SOOOO GLAD TO SEE IT POLISHED!!! Ohhh that makes me happy 😊. I know you’ll be happy to have it back up and running. Take care..🙏
Oh my what a process. Keep it classy. 4 round!

You could do something like a back-lit sign with beyond dirt on it instead of the individual lights.
I have no creative ideas either. Look forward to seeing you around again whatever you come up with.
My daughters grooming van got hit the same time as your truck accident.Shes still waiting to get it back.She had some injuries.Dash cam showed other driver ran stop sign.Lost wages could be a problem from not having the van..

I just love your vids and I'm impressed with how great of a job you do

That account reminds me of trying to get my car repaired. The headlights were handed and the parts supplier sent 2 left hand lights!
Beyond dirt on the sides and 1 heart, 1 club, 1 diamond, and 1 spade in amber
Make yourself be one of a kind cutout shapes on stainless put lights behind make logo
Cutouts the side as well so they light up Very sleek and sharp at night.

Yes 4 watermelon led the change color on your dump truck beyond dirt and I’m one of your biggest fans
I like the flat lights
Have beyond dirt light up on the side of the lights
I like the 4 watermellon lights and just a B.D. engraved. Definitely make them Dual Rev.
Looks like the body shop is doing an amazing job!
Welcome back. Looking forward to more videos showing you & your shined up Work Horse.
7 watermelon lites with Beyond Dirt & the C😎😎L SH TUBE Custom accessories will DEFINITELY be AWESOME!!!!!😎🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊📸📽📹🎥📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💵💵💵💵💵💵💵🇺🇸
Glad to see you headed back to work
Watermelon LED lights for sure with the engraved logo would be awesome. Dual Revolution lights are awesome and would look sick on the truck
Good choice on picking Rob and crew at SH Tube, they do awesome work
Laser cut Beyond Dirt or Kenworth and back light it. Also and lighting under air cleaner top
Four watermelon lights and beyond dirt cut out with LED light behind it with the lexen so it glows the name beyond dirt
Hi Dauminique. Can't wait to see you back on the road again. I was hoping to meet you at MATS but lack of funds and the high cost of hotel/motel rooms in the area were to much for me.
One last thing. You need to check your audio. This video your audio was only coming out of the right side.
Be safe
Space for 5 lights but use 4 and top spot your logo back lite
4 watermelon lights and Beyond Dirt engraved on the sides
SH Tube is the way to go, Rob takes pride inevery piece. When in doubt ask his or his teams opinion.
do watermelon lights but hook them up to the turn signals as well. Maybe run white with parking lights and have then flash orange if possible for turn signal. Or just do all orange
Old truck old watermelon style lights.Bobby don’t forget to polish the pup trailer wheels.
Here’s a thought. Instead of your standard type of light, if you get beyond dirt cut out and put lights behind it instead of having 4 or 5 lights
9 Watermelon lites on top of cab as well
Check out rlk customs for their Mellon brackets that tuck in tight to the hood below/behind the elephant ear. They also make one that puts a Mellon behind the cleaner between the straps.
The front brackets are for w9’s so I had to slightly modify the hood latch bracket to clear on the T800’s.
4 watermelon lights amber blue would look sweet
Did they double your insurance rates due to the accident?
Great video Dauminique
I think you should go with led watermelon lights at least 5 and beyond dirt on the side of them on both sides.
I say go with the 5 watermelon lights with the companies name engraved into the light bar for the air cleaner and put lights in the top of the air cleaner would be pretty cool.
Awesome. Just stay off those high speed driveways. :)
Do the 4 watermellon lights and Beyond Dirt vertically down the side.
have beyond dirt cut out in it with lights illuminating it
Don't let him drive it
I’d go with the 4 watermelon lights that’s change from amber to any color you choose and have beyond dirt engraved with a light to light it up, I would change all your amber lights to matching watermelon lights that change, I’d even do a custom bumper as well, you could even have someone draw you up a design of what it would like as well and do few different designs and have vote of which one to go with.
Well put the lights inside the air cleaners and watermelon lights on light bar from sh tube
Good to see you and thank you for the update.
Do four watermelon duel revolution lights with Beyond Dirt logo. Amber and blue for colors. I am going to wear my Beyond Dirt hoodie on sept 11th when I fly in for my Alaskan crusie I will wave when I fly over.
You both make a great team !
Was wondering where you have been. Good luck getting the truck back together. We will be patiently waiting. 🩵
4 clear amber watermelon lights
5 amber lights the same as you have now with beyond dirt down the side would be the best. I'm not a fan of water melon lights myself. Keep it classic and cool.
5 lights thar flash when turning
5 amber watermelon lights and "beyond dirt" engraved on the side would look great, but it's your truck. I'm sure it'll look good whatever you decide!
Be safe out there!
4 watermelon led light . Make two of 4 lights into a turn signal up there.
Well im thinking 5 switchable colors watermelon lights. With beyond dirt cut out witha switchable lighted back light to match the watermelon colors. Just my little 2 cents. Maybe just maybe some underglow lights to round it all out!!

Watermelon definitely. SHTube has some creative designs !
Missed your vids young lady.
Such good news that the patient is finally coming home from the hospital. Btw, I vote for the 5 watermelons!
Beyond dirt on the sides lit up would look nice
Watermelon lights with beyond dirt down the side would be awesome!
Welcome back, one step at a time.
Can't wait to see you back to work with your new baby on the road again
How does LED Back Lighting underneatth the "Beyond Dirt" engraving for each light bar.
Maybe think about LED light strips on your air cleaners.
