Hes online you must....

There are some people who ride near me that leave their bright lights on (High Beams) when driving. I installed a light bar on the front of my truck (My preference ) and so far, ive only had to turn it on twice to make the other person turn theirs off. (What I do is I flash them once with my High Beams and if they dont turn theirs off, I turn my light bar on and off real quick) (Its not the proper thing to do, but it works)

"We don't want to have spaghetti, save that for dinner" No idea why, but that cracked me up. 🤣

Wow. Way to feel old, this was only from 2015............ 7 years already :( Your videos are timeless.

Sir, for your three (3) videos in the construction of your truck's bedrails, headache rack and mounting system for your light-bar, paint job and electrical setup ... a most excellent set of informative videos. You did your major projects so simply constructed, explained so well as you were constructing them, overall paint job and electrical setup, that you made me feel I was there helping you all the way. You Sir, made it look so simple to construct this time-consuming project, yet produced such an "elegant" home-made job. Your construct ended rivaling a professional job, and yet you made it happen "your" way all-around. Your truck's lights, plus the light-bar's, makes for sone scary sunlight. You are no doubt scaring the bejesus out of all those crazy furry friends, wondering just what has happened to their world at night, and reaching for their "Kaopectate". I congratulate you Sir, for a job simply very well made, and thank you for your hard work, as published.

Bloody hell! you make everything look and sound so easy. When I even try anything like this like getting power to the sub in the back of my (Ehem, micra) it ends up being a herculean battle against bulkheads and stubborn interior panels (that change their shape after removal) resulting in bloody knuckles and foul language. You should teach courses in auto maintenance and modification. Keep up the top notch vids.

Chris, I absolutely LOVE watching your vids!! They're super informative, and you cover every detail of what you're doing and why you're doing it, which, in turn, answers ALL of the questions that come along the way. Thank you for taking the time to teach us!! Keep doing what you're doing, man.

Once again, the best explanations in the business😎. I’ve been tearing my hair out trying to wire up a pair of off road lights with two relays and an unneeded switch to factory aux switches and your method of diagraming and laying out the harness produced professional results. Thank you sincerely!

You put so much detail and thought into every project it just inspires me to do so much more work for my truck when i get back to her. Also the video editing and sound quality is better than most for sure! I installed an LED bar on my grille guard, two minis on the headache rack for full coverage and a reverse light a couple years ago with a buddy who knew a little more than me on electrical wiring. (94' F-250 with a 7.5 460 FYI) IT WAS TERRIBLE lol, before i left last year only the front LED worked and I didn't secure the wires at all. Watching your videos is great because i love to do very detail and quality work so thank you for providing amazing detailed videos to help me through the process. I am excited for all your future videos and success in the future, Good luck and thank you.

Hey Chris, any chance of doing a wiring tutorial on an audio system? Like subwoofers and amps

Just wanted to say what a great video - I consider myself 'Exceedingly average' when it comes to mechanics and fixing my car, but electrics have always been a big fat "nope" as I just struggled to understand it. So much so that when I got my lightbar I paid a bloke to fit it for me, but he's used undersized wire and as it's stop working now I'll replace all the wiring so it's properly safe. Haven't done it yet, but I know when I do I'll come straight to this video as it works as a step-by-step perfectly. Thanks!
