What brand of projector LEDs did you use in the back?

I purchased them from AK LED Industries in Anchorage. He gets most of his stuff out of catalogs from overseas. Here's a link for something similar: .

You can also check eBay or superbrightleds.com. For some reason, I couldn't get the links to work right for them. I've been impressed with most of the things I've gotten from Super Bright LEDs. I ordered some in dome lights that stayed on at a reduced strength. That was my only issue. It was too late to return them when I finally had a chance to install them, as I work for extended periods of time before I can get anything done.

Beautiful truck. How has the brush guard held up to salt spray and gravel, etc? Any rust?

What are your thoughts on animal collision with that? Obviously if you hit a moose its going to bend but a deer?

akmedic77

Thanks for the compliment!

As far as salt, Alaska doesn't use a lot of it. In most of the state it's a dry snow, so it blows away. They use lots of sand and dirt, though. So far, no rust. All the tubes are welded shut with end caps, so no chance of a moisture problem inside. They packed it really well when they shipped it - it took me and a buddy almost 20 minutes to take all of the wrapping off. So no scratches from shipping.

When it comes to an animal collision, I think it would do better than most. I lost my tow hooks because that is the primary mounting point. The other runs through the lower grille with some heavy duty flat bar (1/8"?). They seemed sturdier than the Tough Country/Ranch Hand brush guards on our work F150s. I think it would come out ok vs a moose, and even better vs a caribou...since we don't have deer in AK. It would probably obliterate the two without much effort or bending. Moose would probably be similar. I'd be replacing the brush guard, hood and probably both fenders. But that's better than the whole truck...!

I rewired everything again...Double Throw, Double Pull switches from OTRATTW.



Here's what everything looks like lit up (missing are the JW Speaker LED Fogs in the factory location):



I had to remove the topper before coming to work to have some warranty work done on the paint of the bed. Wow! Removing the cap really effects the ride!

Very nice truck, how do you like the pin stripe? I've been thinking about adding one to mine at the same time I add the FX4 Hood Decal and my aero skin Bug Deflector.

akmedic77

Thanks! I had one on my last truck as well. This one has a little different design on the front. I've thought about removing it because the truck seems too busy to me at times. That's why the white FX4 graphic came off...

akmedic77

Pulled all of my wiring and blanked the switches out for the summer. We don't need the light again until late August, early September...it's time to redo the wiring anyway!





Washed the front end off of all the bugs...





Nice shot before it got all dirty from the construction. Outside of Delta Junction, AK on Wills Range Road (Military Bivouac Area).

Just caught up with your build. I'm thinking once i wear out my current blizzaks to get some of the grey fx4 20s you are running for summer for my winter set-up, they sure look great on a white truck.

akmedic77

Yeah. I'd like to pick up a second set instead of the current winters I have. The same wheels in the black that they put in the Sport models look really good in white as well.
