The twin hoes

Funny story coming home from Big Bend. I passed a State Trooper going the opposite direction. about 5 minutes later, i see him coming up behind me. He follows me a few miles then lights up. Hmmm.

The entire car opens up and a bunch of guys jumped out. WTH, they're usually solo. I ended up talking with just one, but the others are looking all over and pointing at my obvious off road and overlanding adds. He was very young, so I'm guessing it was a training cruise for the lot. I forgot to ask.

The gent I'm talking with is convinced I'm with an agency. He spent five minutes trying to determine which one. He finally asks if I got thecopcar at an auction or something. I told him I had bought it from you guys.

At the end he did finally mention I was going over the limit just a bit.

During my recent trip it became obvious, from clanking, that the tire shop had lost most of the center cap spacers on thecopcar. I took the caps off for the duration of the trip. After a few days the look sorta grew on me, but the gap at the hub didn’t.

I thought about black center caps for a K2 PPV, but the price deterred me, especially not knowing how I’d like the look in the longer term. Enter Plastidip.

Looks good so far.

Next up for thecopcar. Soundoff red/white LED

I figured out the dome light harness, and was warm outside. So….

I had enough slack to cleanly route the power above the headliner. Both colors work too.

these things are ridiculously expensive. Almost $90 new. I got it used from eBay.

Finished install.

Fun fact, ALL white LED lights start with blue diodes, then use filters in the lens of the diode to fool the human eye. Cameras can tell however.

I’m glad you surfaced this topic; I need to order some red lights for my vehicles. I’ve done it in the past, and had sort of forgotten how good they were. My eyes need all the night vision help they can get!

I took thecopcar out for some exercise last weekend. Lots of dirt roads and some stream crossings. And about a million cattle guards.

It dawned on me last night why the trooper was asking so many questions. The hat I forget is on the dash.
