Sled Decks and LED Bars

[mur190]

So the covers have to be black out? Can't be the amber or clear covers?

Yup blackout. The others are lenses and still allow light passage.

I had the same issue last year, cop told me I needed to put covers on my lights, so I took out a roll of duct tape and put covers on them.

what i heard a few years back was any more than 1 set of driving lights have to be covered,but dont know if that includes the factory driving llights. cops measure from vehicle tail lights not from the sled deck lights so when measuring for length of overhang measure from vehicle lights, something to do with deck lights are clearence lights and not brake lights and signal

My sled deck extension has a tail light and brake light, would that work?

My sled deck has brake and turn signals on it but not sure if they count or not.

Jesus you would hope. But who knows and I'm sure the answer would vary from cop to cop

Timcop #1 or Timcop # 1Billion ... try your luck!!

It all depends if their passion is motors or plants/fish or he/she is a dick or wants a dick!!

I would just take the ticket, who cares. Driving home from revvy last night with the light bar was amazing. Its crazy how much light even a small 30 inch throws!

Not with 1.5m of overhang

How do you guys mount or attach lights to the sleds? I've seen the magnetic ones or the one that brackets for mounting on a trailer. Just wondering which is the best way to use these without them falling of the sleds

Not the best picture but you get the idea.
Track bar with a marker light and a flag.
Too easy!

I just kept a bag of lengthy heavy duty zip ties. Worked alright, but I'm sure a guy can come up with better...

I saw a guy with a battery powered flashing LED light he was using instead of a flag. Looked like a good idea

At most truck shops you can get a good red LED light that can clip on, usually about 2x3 inches and around $30.00. Do not use a flashing red light, that will get you pulled over very fast, the cops and DOT dont like flashing red, it is reserved for emergency vehicles.

Flag by day and light by night.

Flag by day and light by night.

Say that 5 times fast....

I was with dragonweld and the cop said 1.2M.

So just under a hair under 4' not 3.28ft.

I've got the doo heavy duty bumper on mine, it has 2 small holes pre drilled on it for a hitch, I put a flat piece of 1/8" aluminum plating with a couple of bolts and wing nuts. I have a small round 3/4" red marker led light and a flag mounted just below. The cord for the light goes down through my track and I put a plug off of my marker lights on my deck to plug it in...very tidy.
