• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

another great video from Bob

I have been thinking about putting a couple of strip vertically on the rear bumper (one on each side of the license plate holder)

I done the same a little while back. I added some of the 1/8 inch chrome strips to it and kind of gave it a little flash. Works good and is visible especially at night time. I am thinking of adding some more for running lights. This is a good alternative to the high buck units, those really look great, but some of us on somewhat limited income have to make do till we can do better. This method is cheap but effective for the intended purpose. Good video on the how to, it is a little time consuming but the outcome is well worth it.

I love the chrome strip adds!

Where did you get them?

And I agree, $240 for a LED light just seems way out of line. Although I realize the molding, etc cost a lot to make something from scratch that actually looks stock!
But for me, I have to save on some things, and if I can do it myself and still be functional and OK looking, Yea baby!.
I think the "Other Bob" might agree since his leash is rained in tight ;)
Kidding Bob ;)

Some of the trunk racks mount parallel to the ground and the light will show underneath.

Ride safe,

or.....

depending on the rack you are getting, as was said above, if its parallel to the ground, this will work

or.....

you might be able to place the LEDs along the edge of the rack..... hmmmm.......
 
Very good video!

I guess a trip to the auto parts store will be in my near future....:yes:

Advance auto. they sell the chrome trim in 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch. I used the 1/4 inch on the fender trim. It comes in a roll of quite a few feet.
