| Hello guys A few members had ask some question on the leds under my gate. This is what I did to get custom LEDS under the tail gate. (Note this not might work for everyone pending your level of fabrication and 12v electrical) ..I used what are called Waterproof Flexible Light Bar http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&category=BARS&Page2Disp=%2Fspecs%2FWFLB.htm#photos ..1 in. square tube thin wall (had laying around ) This will be placed under the tailgate (cutting is required be creative ) flush with the curve of the tail gate and the lip so you hardly see the square tubing from the other side. I also used a old vintage aluminum widow screen frame for a bracket to hold the led strips in place with silicone and riveted the channel to the 1 in. tubing. I think the channel/bracket may not be needed you can silicone the led strip to the square tube. I will try to post more pics pending on the questions.. ???? ask away with ????   |

| Hey Gonzo,I just spent the last hour going thru all of your car-domain post and man do you rock.
All the pics of your son helping you and the camping trailer along with the pop-up camper made
me think of my youth camping with my family.All of your wagons rock but the the pics when your
RMW was all pearl white is my favorite by far.I am so jealous of your drive to customixe your wagons and your ability to make them so unique!
Take Care

| GONZO!!!!
Where the hell have you been? I had the cash and the motivation..... now I'm down to the motivation.....
I am interested in the LED lights on the front turn signals and interior. Do you have the writeup on those also?
As for the rear LED's, would the WFLB mounting brackets work instead of fabricating the 1" square stock?
Did you cut the 24 or 48's to get them to fit, or are the 24's for turns and the 48 for brake? _________________ Official "Group W" Spokesman 96 Roadmaster wagon, WB4, Custom 2.5" exhaust, SSRI, Performance tune, and a bunch of other stuff  |
