photos New LED lighting on the camper.

[Crumm]

I have not done much to the old truck in quite some time but today I did install some new led's on the camper. Old fixtures were full of dust and looked kinda cheap. New ones are sealed and look shiny.

Here are the before and after photo's. Last two are with the lights off.

NICE!! I need to do that to my 5ther. Hey that first step out from the camper (when it's slide into the back of or truck) looks like it would hurt if you not ready for it....LOL

What did you use, or how did you.. remove the Graphics ?? Ours have begun to fade to the point.. the Rig would look better without'em.

Heat gun, goof off, goo gone, wd-40 and lots of patience.

Problem is if your rig has faded at all then the pattern will never go away as the paint behind the decal is brand new looking and the rest is faded a little. I removed a bunch when the camper was only a year old and I can still see where they were when the sun hits it just right. I have tried buffing and polishing but the outline still shows. If yours have faded then I bet the paint has faded just a little too.

Kinda what I thought, but Thanks Crumm.

For the reasons you mentioned.. guess I'll just let the Cali Sun work on'm 'til they Fade & Flake off.

I LED'd the 5r (2K too), sure do like the Brightness.. As compared

There has got to be some way to buff it out so the outline disappears but I have not fount it. I my decals were flaking off I would figure something out. How about new decals just a smidgin larger than the old ones?

On the Montana's it's a "Swirly" graphics thing that "Swirl" down down both sides.. with, MONTANA.. (with Mountains), on the the front & back. To Big & Complex, to deal with, as far as a compromise goes. They're fading & flaking from the edges.. so the whole works is just sloooowly getting smaller.. for now..

Got hold of Keystone (the maker).... Basically Got the: "Once yer check cleared.. We don't know you" deal. But they did give me a POC for the outfit that makes the graphics for them.... PIA... they ONLY make a run of the specific graphics.... BY MODEL & YEAR.. when there is enough of a demand. Unknown.. when that might be... but I got on their list.

Obsolescence & Failure.. By Design & Forethought.. I'm think'n.

It's their product I'm drag'n 'round... But MY Stuff ain't Sposta look like that

TOTALLY off Topic. I'm dun RANT'n (fer now)
