Re: Frankentruck

Here's how I run the lights even when driving the truck around:

I used a power inverter thingy from walmart that plugs into the cigarette lighter. The package says it can handle up to 2 strands of lights which is what fits great on a long bed.
I've been using this setup now for 4 years, and the only issues that I have are the occasional pieces of tape that come loose and the power inverter not liking cold weather very much.


I took my last final for the semester today , so I'll be headed back to Woodstock in the morning. Going to be a driver helper for UPS again because it pays well and means more money for truck parts . After Christmas I'll be working on Frankentruck some and taking more pics along the way for y'all. I've been neglecting some things that need to get done, so now is the time to do them.

Merry Christmas y'all!
