Thanks for the tip on the connector inside the jeep and the 2 nipple contacts on the door. I never seen this before.
Your welcome!
!00% better light. I did one from scratch 7yrs ago. I used a pizza tray and marked my holes and used the same bit and LED`s you used. I was very happy with the results . Good video brother. Nice Jeep also
Thanks a lot Bro!
It's really awesome how you - and Ed! - are improving your TJs! I'm a rookie in mechanics, but at least you guys gave me some confidence to try this & that, and help me to enhance my skills. Thanks & cheers from Germany!
Thanks Berine, Glad we can offer some help! Germany, that's Awesome! Thanks for that info. I love to know when people are watching from a whole other country!
From one DIYer to another… great work
Thank you Max!
I have an 04 TJ. I’m always messing with something lol . Your TJ came out fantastic the color with the black is top notch
@@jedeckerd5969 thanks a lot! It has been a long road to get to where it is right now. I have learned so much and proud to have the experience! It was worth it for the end result and the knowledge gained!
@@ForceBuilt do you have an instagram ???? It full of Jeep diyers
@@jedeckerd5969 yes, it is futura_force
I really enjoyed this project. You always do a great job and give me ideas for projects.
Thanks Gerald, I really appreciate it!
Good job Steve.
Thank you Wesley!
Super slick with the contact idea! Thankfully i had my contacts but I was having troubles with either positive or negative not making contact SO i direct grounded the 3rd brake light ground wire to the tailgate and made both contacts positive with a jumper wire to double the opportunities for my positive contacts. Hope that makes sense. Way to go the extra mile on the 3D printing and modding it to get the LEDs to lighting with the 15”! wheel. 👍🏼
Man, that was smart! Don't think I would have thought to do that. That's what I love about people leaving their experiences in the comments. Those ideas help lots of people. Thanks for the input and the compliments!
I would have trimmed the outside of the ring to see if you could eliminate the lug spacers. Projecting your wheel out further puts more torque on the tailgate. I would also have gotten the blacked out version of those lights. They are the same price.
The red lights I don’t mind. I am not a fan of the spacers though. I am not running this set-up right now. Not carrying a spare at the moment. I will look at trimming the disk to see if it will fit into the wheel. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@@ForceBuilt No problem. BTW, I like the BR549 fake plate. Am I the only one who noticed that?
No one else has mentioned it. You are the first lol. Good eye.
Je voulais vous dire que vous avez fait une très belle job et on voit très bien que votre Jeep est bien entretenu et l’idée et excellente pour les deux de stop
Reste à regarder le liens pour la modification des lumières
Merci
Merci beaucoup! Merci d'avoir regardé!
You, sir, are a master craftsman. Previous Owner sure did a number on you! That bracket turned out great and that close out cover is a great addition. I bet you could sell that on eBay (or Etsy? LOL!)
For your next project, want to buy TDSR and take it to the next level?
Haha, thanks Ed! That means a lot. You are doing just fine with TDSR! Can't wait to see your next video. Hope it's today!
@@ForceBuilt Unfortunately for us both, the Chrysler has needed way more TLC than I’d hoped. I’m glad TDSR is basically stable because my focus will have to be on the 200 for the next couple of weeks. Hope my Jeep/TDSR lovers don’t unsubscribe…
@@CarbonsDIYGarage no, they won't leave. Thanks for the update. A video is better than no video. Proud TDSR is stable for you to drive. He's came a long way.
great!
The younger people won't get this, but.....HEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAWWW!!!
HAHAHA, I get it lol. Thanks Mark and hoping you are still doing well!
Looks great!
Thanks Dillon
I'm fortunate to have all that still on mine but the wires are cut at the bracket but a couple of inches long so I can run wires right up to mine. I bought a 2.5" led light I am putting in the center hole of the wheel where the cap goes.I will email you some pictures buddy .
Sounds great William! I though about doing that as well. I will like to see some pics.
Did you ever print the seat bushings? Just wondering how they worked out for you.
@@ForceBuilt I have not yet , I have this one bolt I am having trouble getting out of the drivers seat. I am off 2nd -4th and I will be trying to finish the interior. Also my desk top crashed and I will have to configure my MacBook to work the 3D printer. I have so much to do to get it ready for Aug trip to Tenn. event .
@@your2nd no problem. Sounds like your busy. Good luck
Would like to see how you did the wiring on the ring. Getting ready to do the same thing on mine. This looks like a lot of splicing.
17:20 I show the back side. A little time but not hard. Good luck!
I finished mine this morning. I used two 5 gallon lids. I sandwiched the wiring in side them then sealed the edge in duct tape.
@@DAYWALKERTWO that is very innovated! Thanks for sharing!
Great video, love the work here. I want to use the little LEDs but have no experience stringing wires together. Do you have a suggestion on where I could find relevant information on how to do that 17:29? Thanks!
Not hard at all. Just red to red and black to black all the way around. Wire first red light to second red light(red to red black to black). Then wire second red light to the third red light(now 1,2,3 are connected). Connect third red light to fourth red light and continue until you have finished the lighting. Hope this helps
I’ll give it a shot, and thank you again.
Love the vid! What size bolts did you use for the makeshift connectors?
I honestly don’t know. I just got what I thought would work from Lowe’s. Good luck
I have the same wheel design. What size is yours, 15in?
Yes it is. Thanks for watching
@@ForceBuilt I'm going to make my own out of a $5 Walmart pizza pan.
@@cannonball666 Great Idea. Let me know how that works!
What 3d can software do you use?
What was your infill on the part?
I use Fusion 360 to draw the parts. I use Cura to slice them. On structural parts I usually go 75 infill. Thanks!
@@ForceBuilt thank you.
I really need to learn fusion. I do pretty good in tinker cad but it has its limitations of course.
You can get fusion for free as a hobbiest. When you find something you can't figure out TH-cam lol. That's my way lol
@@ForceBuilt thanks a ton!!
Nice vid. Just be careful with bolts behind your spare as they can begin to wear the wheel.
Yeah, I was thinking that. This is just in case of emergency wheel. Offset and width is different from the others on the Jeep. It will never touch the ground unless I have a flat. Thanks for watching!
Great video, really thank you. I've been trying to find a video of someone going over the wiring for the 3rd brake light because my previous owner also hacked up the wiring. Thanks again
Thank you Fridder! I love to here from viewers. It really helps to keep me motivated to do videos. Most people(I am guilty also) watch and never comment. Glad it was useful to you.
