Here's Mike with my 5 Ton! Note the name I stenciled on the door.

Happy Friday fellow SS'ers! I took a crapshoot yesterday and bought a pair of these KILLER looking military surplus LED lights for my 5 ton. There are 100 LED's in each unit, so I'm guessing they are REALLY bright. There are no markings on them whatsoever, no brand name, model, nothing at all...

Really not sure on how much current they draw, but from what I know of LED's it's very little. Probably less than 1 amp to run at least 8 of the strips I have.

Well I'm sure the would be easy enough to mount under the hood, but if they would withstand the heat, well that I don't know!

All of those LED strips came from a scrap job. They were part of a display unit from a store and there were like 20 of these strips with 8 LED's in each one, so I mounted 3 in the cab and 4 in the bed (so far... plan on at least 2 more back there)

Nope, she's not a daily driver for me... weekends and scrap hauling, which is what I do as a side gig. If she got better mileage I wouldn't mind driving her daily!

Thanks... maybe I'll do the same for just the ham, just tap 12v seperately from the batteries.

Aside from tracing down and fixing an oil leak, I wired up a 12 volt power accessory port. Tapped the 12v from the LO speed connection off the blower motor switch. (BIG KUDOS TO 74M35A2 FOR THAT TIP!!) Then wired up a mobile ham radio and some SWEET bright LED strips in the cab and in the bed...

Well a little 6x6 5 ton car crushing would have definitely been EXTREMELY FUN and a great way to relieve some pent up anger & stress, I don't think it would've flown verfy well at work... that was my supervisor's Prius. LMAO

I took my baby out to lunch today and got her Japanese cuisine! :-P
