    Damn! I spent $20.00 on a light strip on Amazon and couldn’t be happier. You’re a better man than me coughing up 10Xs the price on yours.

    Need to swap out the taillight bulbs for LEDs so they're instant on/off like the light bar. That would drive me absolutely crazy seeing the stock signals and brakes fade in and out while the light bar comes on and turns off instantly.
    Edit: This would be a must for me, even without the light bar!

    Did you just wrap spliced wires on the under side of the truck with just electrical tape? No solder, connectors or heat shrink?
    Moisture problems ahead.

    Received my light bar and wired it today. The lights are amazing [bright and crisp]. Get one, you'll love it. Save yourself some time and order a Curt #56584 harness and #58550 5 pin connector plug from Amazon. Just plug and play, no cutting into your trucks wiring. You will have to wire in the backup light, but this can be done on your work bench. Thanks Ryan. Also the light bar does NOT interfere with the lowering of the spare tire, you just have to modify the protective ring a bit.

  • @thebmac
    @thebmac 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Looks like a sweet rear end upgrade. To avoid future problems, I would highly suggest (as others have, but i'm trying to add a helpful factor in and not just name call) you do a better splice in job. The elements will make it through your electrical tape and corrode those connections. Those scotch lock connectors (t-taps) are no good and have seen them fail many times as well. I mean your connections, as is now, may last a week, a year, or maybe 10 years, but I'm sure you don't want to have to worry about it at all. I would suggest cutting the wires apart where you spliced in and either soldering them and then covering them with heat shrink that has adhesive inside that will help seal it up, or use butt splice connectors that have heat shrink with adhesive on them. You can get ones that can accept 2 wire on one side and one wire on the other side (like a yellow butt on one side and blue on the other). To take that even further in to the professional installation side, you could make or purchase an 8" adaptor with the correct connectors and amount of wires and then splice in off of that and have a connector there and install a connector on the light bar wires. You could then remove the adaptor and light bar if you ever wanted and just plug the factory connectors back together. Obviously this is just my opinion and someone else might call me an idiot or maybe have something helpful to add, which i'm fine with learning, But this is what has worked for me to make good wiring connections and not have to worry about them. Cheers

    • @ryan2546
      @ryan2546  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I respect you actually commented on how I should do it to not worry! Lol I did it this way so if I wanted I could always remove it without cutting! I didn’t want to cut and solder the harness back together, I may solder the connections in the future but for now they’re gonna be like that for a while lololol

    Has he heard of the CURT 55384 Vehicle Side Custom USCAR Vehicle Trailer Wiring Harness for Towing, 4-Pin Trailer Wiring? I used it to install my OPT7 Triple LED Tailgate Bar with sequential turn signal, and the only splice I had to do was for the Reverse cable. The CURT harness took care of the rest. In my case the bar already came with the 4-Pin connector pre-installed and a single cable for the Reverse.

    So while I'm only looking for a reverse light bar, holy crap $300 today on Amazon for this Blade.....still looking.......but a question for ya, I suppose your truck does not have "Trailer Light Out Sensing" because if it did, wouldn't the truck think a trailer is always connected?
    On my 19 Ford, when I plug in a trailer (essentially the same thing as you tapped into), the truck knows the trailer is connected. Just a thought....

    So just out of curiosity, why didnt you go with the OPT7 quad row sequential signal bar? They're more affordable ($89 vs. $160) and in my opinion, sequential signals look better.

    I love the bar I just hate that the turn signal is yellow do they make all red ?

    Nice truck man, and that light bar looks super clean!! Where did you get the light bulbs for the license plate area? And not sure what they are called. Lol!

      I think they give him inscentive(royalties) for keeping it on to advertise. Could be wrong.

    That was a good video I never realized you could put a light bar in there. I'm going to try to look for more videos of your truck because I like that color I want to see what the rest of it looks like I actually painted a old school Craftsman tool box the same exact color came out cherry and nobody else's got anything like it

    How are you going to access the hoist mechanism for the spare? The light bar covers the hole.

    Does this mount cover up the spare tire release hole? And are you able to drop the spare tire with this on? I’ve heard of some people having to remove the plastic hole cover so the bar mounts flat, how was it in that area?

    • @ryan2546
      @ryan2546  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This light bar can be removed from the mounting brackets to get to the spare tire and the brackets stay on your truck! And it pops back in! I removed that part from editing made the video wayyyy to long and I can even use the 31” spare anymore 😂😂! But amazing design!!

    • @dellolio88
      @dellolio88 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      if u use the plastic brackets it will give it the same space as the plastic spare hole the light will even shit on the plastic hole but the plastic brackets do break easy so be carful i broke the tabs on mine and just took them off and put 3m on the light its self and took off the plastic spare hole
