Weekend mods - massive pics

[Yukon Joe]

This past weekend was a busy one. I added the mirror delete kit, the AMB LED puddle lights and even RaptorWifey added her own mod. She outlined the FORD grill with some pin stripping. Looks good!

I also did some mods on the camper. Added a rod / whip holder to the rear bumper. I installed the Safeglow camper flag holder that I got from Alternative Offroad. We'll have a 22' flag with a cool LED lighted camp locator on the top. And lastly, I relocated the drain lines.

I used a 3" PVC pipe and added threaded ends and caps. Then bolted it to the rear bumper with pipe clamps and stainless steel bolts. We are also planning on keeping our cooking sticks in here (more on that later).

Here is the Safeglow flag poll holder mounted to the slideout dinette with stainless steel bolts.

Here is the Safeglow camp locater lit up, but not extended to 22'.

Next are the drain lines that I relocated. They use to hang under the camper and I'd have to lay on the ground to reach them. The valve handle was also broken off, so I had to use pliers just to turn it. Then crawl on the wet ground to close them after they were drained.

What cooking sticks are you referring too? I have some custom design / custom made stainless steel cooking sticks on the way. WSI made them up for me. I'm getting them Labor day weekend. They are 6' long.

the sticks are 3.5 would be nice to have them longer and the holders are 3 would be nice if they where a bit hevier gaged and had a foot step to get them in the ground.

from what i found out, there is only an ignition power there. i believe its an orange wire, but not 100% sure. test it for power when the truck is on then off. regardless.... find the ignition power wire. under your hood, remember that relay you were checking for? pull it out and test for a constant power in one of those lugs. then you can put a jumper wire from the constant to the lug that goes to the trailer light. its not the perfect solution, but it works, and keeps you from having to run a wire to the back. i would recommend using a fuse inline on that jumper just in case.

you can test for the wire to the back by putting you meter on tone (continuity) connecting one end to the wire at the trailer plug and touch the other end to the lugs where the relay was, until you get tone. you will need a long piece of wire to extend the reach of your meter.

if this is confusing let me know. sometimes my instructions are not the best. i know exactly what to do, but am not the greatest at expaining

I love the way you (your wife) did the FORD high-lighting. Much more subtle, but still noticeable. Looks good man.
