looking at these for my avalon... might pull the trigger.

 

Pops said I’d never make it in the biz. Gave me 2 years before coming back to the mines. Thats when I went into Blue Steel Beast Mode.

 

I'm hoping. 2022 I turn 40 so I plan on sitting down with a SERS (PA state pension) counselor and finding out what the penalty is for going at 25 years of service.

What you New Years Eve Resolution Guys need to do is eat half of what you normally eat to lose weight and get your girly figures back.

 

Less eating, more

 

I’ve heard those two don’t go well together. They are Ying and Yang. Smoking causes cancer and pollutes Gia. Not to mention slight Retardation of the Populations already low IQ.

 

Well in my parts, you can get cancer from doing anything. I woke up and took in a deep breath of that carcinogenic Prop 65 oxygen. Going in for my weekly mandated radiation treatment Monday. What's one more thing?

 

They look wacky though. Only heard great things about the performance.

 

Performing well on standardized tests (like the ACT) effectively measures ones ability...to perform well on standardized tests! Don't worry, it won't stop you from being President one day.

 

Not going to happen. I did quite a bit of research on the subject. People are getting screwed left and right. Pay it and move on with your life. I've heard stories of people banking on that for 100k loan debts. There are a lot of people in the student loan industry that are 100% predatory and just straight up bad people.

All we have left is the house. I built it 7 years ago and probably have 4 left. Covid added about 2 years to our original plan. God willing I will never be in debt again.

 

Reminds me of that speech George W Bush gave to those graduating students. Something along the lines of "To all the C students in the crowd. One day you too can become president".

 

Agreed. I see almost zero chance student loans will be forgiven. We're already running a deficit over $2 trillion right now.

 

It will be interesting to see as we are pretty much MMT now. I wouldn't be surprised if Janet Yellen tries to modify the Federal Reserve Act as well.

Bizarro world...

 

Evidently, neither will dementia.

 

Aren’t most student loans from the Gov’t? Are you saying the Gov’t is predatory?

 

Simmer down now....I’m getting a whiff of the ban hammar!

If you follow even a little of that guys diet advice and implement some kind of daily stretching routine I bet it would be life changing for you.

 

This might be worth somebody's time.

What’s the consensus for wiring in reverse lights? Original plan was the trailer harness plug, Or maybe behind the tail lights? Comments, suggestions, criticisms?

 

Today I just wired a pair of Harbor Freight flood cubes into the reverse light circuit, I tapped the positive wire of the drivers side light housing to power them. I intended to use a relay to power them but when I stripped the insulation back on the wiring of the light, it was 18 or 20 gauge. Then I looked up the specs for each light, 15 watts. That's only 1.25 amps per light so that's why I just wired them directly off the reverse light circuit.

 

Tap off the reverse light circuit of the trailer harness. This can be done without touching the trucks frame harness so if issues arise in the future your not stuck with a damaged stupid expensive harness. And only a trailer wire harness

 

As empty_lord states above, tapping off the trailer circuit would be preferred if you have that option. When I pulled my drivers side tail light housing I discovered that the previous owner used one of those Scotchlok wire taps. When I went to remove it the wire broke so I repaired it and added the lead wire to the cubes from the repair.

I know, I know.




Here's a couple of pics I just took...

 

@Lil Steve, @empty_lord thanks fellas, trailer plug it is. Just wanted to verify before I get started. My only worry now is gonna be interference from the hitch. I’d like to center em in the bumper on each side but I think I’m gonna have to move em up to clear.

 

i keep debating pods. BUT. i think im going to go with a VLED license plate led backup light... truck came in to work with one.. im impressed with the brightness and the fact its clean looking

 

Since I already had these lights on hand, I decided to throw them on the lazy way, using existing bumper bolts. Got them at HF on sale for $20 each.

This is precisely what I did except that I used the trailer reverse wire to trigger a relay.

86-reverse, 85-chassis, 30-12v from the trailer harness, 87a-reverse light 12v.

That way they are entirely isolated from my reverse light circuit and if one of the pods ever go bad, it will only blow the trailer fuse instead of the reverse circuit. I also have my reverse cam tied into the trailer 12v so that I can see behind me at any time by selecting my rear cam as a source on my head unit.

it can all be done by removing (2) 10mm and unplugging the trailer harness instead of trying to tap into the entire frame harness.

 

I think I was up late one night chatting with @Tundra2 after a few too many quarantinis and ordered something similar off Amazon. Must have been the night I got the ban hammer because I never even updated my install.

...Also explains why I was semi confused when they arrived. As this was not really something high on my project list.

Either way, I’ll update with pics of where I mounted them tomorrow.

 

One thing I have thought of is some extra side shooting lights just because of how much the cap hinders my sight at night. Tucking them up by the fender lines facing out to the sides with the bright ass backup lights.. I think that’d be one of the best lighting options for me. The side shooters I’d wire up to a switch though so they’re not on all the time..
