Working on reopening the Keystone pipeline.... ?

Serious printing requires some serious ventilation...one piece at a time...this looks like PVC but it's actually 3" mailing tubes and printed connectors 1 mm thick...super light...PVC was way too heavy and the parts costed well north of $100...

Simple, just her that it is part of your new 25' underwater river crossing mod...?

Looks good Sid, even your house is all lit up like the space shuttle. I really don't know why I'm surprised at this. :facepalm:

The LEDs were wired together in parallel and the positive tied into the top left lead (yellow/green) which are switched on/off with the marker lights. The negative tied to any ground bolt under the hood.

Just got my Ranger 6 months ago, and I loved your setup.
I've bought the Raptor Grill from Amazon. The connection to the lights isn't like the one from Stage3, its just exposed black and red wire. I see where you tapped on the side marker using the Green/Orange wire. But which ground bolt did you use? I didn't want to mess up my electricals if I use the wrong bolt as a ground.

@Msfitoy we've spoken before, but I have another request.

Do you have an online bank you can acquire things as simple as font programming to print letters?

In near future I am going to be shaving my fender vent badging down and I'd prefer some raised plastic letters/numbers than going vinyl.

We are talking 5 letters and 1 number if done separately. Or 4 letters, one space, one letter, one number if printed as one single piece.

1" tall, about 4" long, and wouldn't need more than say a quarter inch in thickness. Probably a kids project in ease to a serious printer hobbiest.

There's a ground bolt in front of the air box if you look down...that's the one I used...also the negative battery post is always failsafe...I have at least 4 grounding wires there...

Hi Jack...I'm not aware of any...but then again, for anything custom I always rely on my own CAD data...if I were doing lettering for printing, I would start from scratch...show me what you're thinking and I can better asses what it would take...probably easy job as long as they're flat...

Yup flat, just raised a quarter inch to give some depth. I'll get back to you this evening.

If you're looking for someone to do printing for you, there's a few places that do it assuming you have files to print, I've used Shapeways a few times, just throwing that out there.
