Nice compliment to the steps, now I have to copy it. Thanks

Just teasing you Don

(all in the best possible spirit)

My Wal-Mart had the lights in the Auto Department along with all sorts of goodies to dress up your car such as chrome - mats - inside trinkets - etc.

They looked much different in the package than what I thought I was looking for.

Rex....Those are the ones. They are deceiving when you first look at them. They had several other styles too. It was nice that they had a built in battery to see how they work.

I think I'll buy ten more, wire them all around the underside and run the coach with the airbags empty.....lowrider

Now there's a thought. If we could just find a way to get the air bags to air separately and quickly we could have it jumping up and down at the stop lights, too.

I believe that Happycars can deflate the air bags without deflating the tanks. It was one of his Minor projects last year. He just flips a switch and deflates the bags and not the tanks. (Just like the Kids do)

I just need is bigger valves and then I could bounce the front end 2' in the air. But, then I would also have to install tiny wheels/tire to complete the low rider effect.

Just installed a set of the LED lights by the step and they look great. I used a diode to wire power to the lights so now the LEDs come on when I have the power step on or when I have the interior step lights on. Using a diode like one uses when wiring your toad taillights to your coach allows you to have more than one source to power the lights.

On our first trip, we were sitting across from our coach and the lights were actually distracting because they were so bright. If you decide to install a set, either use just one or mount them to the step frame just above the fiberglass lip at the step. I ended up placing a small strip in front of the lights so you can't look directly at them. They still produce a ton of light.

@ Don, YOU ARE too funny! LOL, LOL, LOL I can see that rig crawling on the ground now!

Nice job Don! I like it, but you have to stop for a couple years and let the rest of us catch up

jeepsrule · 05-02-2011, 05:46 PM

Don, If one were to put two of these strips of lights inside one of the florescent fixtures, say above my chair. Would the light be equivalent to the current florescent bulbs??

Don, thanks, did mine today. Hopefully The Commander will be pleasantly surprised. Instead of silicone at the drilled hole I purchased and installed rubber grommets from HD. $1 ea. A little pricey but an ounce of prevention.
