I am trying to locate a side fuel tank door. It is aluminum and someone destroyed it trying to steal gas. Do you know where I can find one?

how about a little taillight test run ? Dakota Digital Led and Fesler Lenses, Now Dakota Digital did say that these were designed to work with how the factory lenses are made to distribute the light better and are they are offering to come up with something different if i am not pleased with how these look , what do you guys think ?

Bennett68C10 · 10-01-2012, 03:48 PM

Got my Street Trucks in too, congrats on the Coverage Mike

The lights dont look too bad, but they are right. It does look like it was designed for the stock lenses. I think those beautiful lenses deserve some more light in them though.

I agree, those lenses need to be lit up top to bottom.

Xeen · 10-01-2012, 05:18 PM

I bet thats a little strange, most manufactures dont give a darn about customer feedback about their products and these guys are telling you they will customize the lighting solution just for you, strange indeed.

nuke1 · 10-01-2012, 06:25 PM

Mike, I can not believe how far your truck and you have come, since the humble beginnings to this absolutely amazing work of rolling art you have created. Slightly different colors and interior, amazing products throughout the truck plus much much more. I wish I was able to go to SEMA this year and see your truck there if it makes it. That would mean alot just to see this in person. You my sire are a n inspiration to all of us. Congrats.

Slick67 · 10-01-2012, 06:43 PM

Hey James (nuke1) I'll send you some pics of it, he will be at Good Guys next weekend. Yay....I get to see CLOUD 9 in person!!

nuke1 · 10-01-2012, 06:54 PM

I would appreciate that immensely, Pics of your guys' trucks together would be awesome. up here in the great white north we never get a chance to see some of the beautiful trucks and cars that all of you have down there. We are kinda unfortunate that way. It is also hard to get sponsored up here because of that, the work I do is top notch, but I will never see endorsements. So a big congratulations to all of you that have the means down there.

VA72C10 · 10-01-2012, 09:00 PM

Those look good, but would be much better if they lit up the entire lens....would be much more custom and fit the "look" of the lenses better

Chvy2NV · 10-01-2012, 11:00 PM

I kinda have mixed feelings on the lights. Wish they would light up like some late model Cadillacs.

**screaminchevypickup** · 10-01-2012, 11:52 PM

I think I would run feslers LEDs they look much better and fill the whole lens..

Slick67 · 10-02-2012, 12:06 AM

Mike, all these guys are right, get rid of the lights and send em to me!!!

Really looking forward to seeing you and you're outstanding truck this weekend.

rhd_c10 · 10-02-2012, 06:27 AM

been awhile since i have check your thread.. wow its moving along quickly..

how about a set of led to put back to fill in that lense..

rhd_c10 · 10-02-2012, 06:28 AM

i have a few questions..

are you guys going to do something in sema??

what booth is your truck gonna be??

hgs_notes · 10-02-2012, 07:34 AM

I don't really care for the look of the lights that have a dozen LEDs in them. I prefer the single bulb look myself. The only way to get the light spread lower though would be to build light housings that are open top to bottom. We can see the shape of the OEM light housing in there with it lit up. If you could open the housing up to match the shape of the lense and then used 2 or 3 lower intensity lights it would spread the light out more evenly and be something only nuts like us would notice. Could be a new product line for somebody.
