- It seemed like a simple install. Unplug the old light bar and drop in the new one right? Nope The Heretic Studios Light bar produces so much light that the demand for power is almost double my previous light bar! Im looking forward to re wiring the truck for some proper lights made in the USA! Check Out www.hereticstudio.com/ for moe details on the lights.

So you mean to tell me,
That wrap job is
OVER 9000!!!
Will Des actually get some sleep or just binge watch videos on youtube? Will Maxx have time to pick up that fuse? Will he ever get around to getting that skid plate on?... FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON DRAGON BALL ZEEEE!!!!!
Just to clarify, we found some issues with my wiring the next day and decided to gut all the wiring and start from scratch to ensure these lights have the wiring job they deserve and the power that they demand.
Gonna post a follow up video so we can see where you found the issues?
@@Eckstant just finished editing it now and it will be availible to watch by Wednesday!
@@Maxx.Powell cool
Did make a video of the new lightbar in the dark?
No follow up video?
My perspective . . . best part?
Dad duties took priority in the end 😆
The life of a dad who loves adventure . . . I'm sure I'm not the only one who can empathize Maxx
Buy stable rubber matts for the barn real cheap and there rubber so easy to clean
I truly enjoyed this video. I like the candidness.
Dude, love all the videos your pumping out! How do you balance filming new videos, a family and all your hobbies?! I wish I could be that productive, I love your videos man!
I just cut back on sleep and TV and increase my caffeine consumption lol Thanks for watching man I really appriciate it.
These heretic studio lights are great, they actually use the power they say they do, output stated lumens, and don’t have any of the weird issues crappy lights have. Uniform color temperature and insane throw, no water ingress. I left one running for three hours straight while stationary, and it was able to thermoregulate in 90* ambient without an issue.
I just finished installing the exact set up yesterday. I used a 45amp fuse. I also blew mine while figuring out the lighting.
Glad to hear I'm not alone! The lights are so bright!
Loved it. Thank you
The lights look nice and clean but i am not so fond of the connections on the back of those suckers that an be bridged and start some issues. Do they have some sort of cover i am missing ?
*_This is what I call power_*
Man left me with a cliff hanger can't wait till the next video to see how the light came along.
You can wrap that yourself for $500-$1000 and a weekends time. Buy the 3M vinyl of your choice and go slow. There aren't very many hard panels it looks kinda flat. Wrapped my Challenger in a weekend. Easily do-able save yourself the labor cost and you get more pride for it.
Maaaannn, wrapping is an art form. The cats that do it that are good have a lot of experience. Most people can't even wrap a Christmas present.
@@bubberrand I think with patience that truck would be easy to do. Buy some extra so you can learn with. The only thing the "experts" have is speed. 3M vinyl is extremely forgiving.
Yikes, maybe you have the magic touch you dont even know it! I've tried wrapping a few things and I do not have the patience for it. It seems to be a delicate art form lol. Nice work of wrapping that Challenger. That's impressive
But yeah i have considered trying it my self however I am looking to do a custom print with my own design on it.
@@Maxx.Powell - custom print that would be bada** looking.
Good Content!
Can’t wait to see the night shots
Great vid man keep it up, all those tools in the paint tho really had me cringing😅
You are my favorite UA-cam
Thanks man that's great to hear that 🍻
Damn dude. Yea i also just started finding out how much wraps cost. I was like yea, no.
Also what kind of coffee you drink that morning?
Could you do more detailed vid of you just going over your suspension, wheels and tires? Maybe about how you like your setup and if you could do it again if you would do anything different. That would be awesome!
Site says "-Amp draw 17.9 peak at 13.8V" for the 30" bar. my guess is a bad wire, or faulty ground?
Wrapping is super easy and can be learned in a few hours of practicing and watching youtube videos plus its would be great content for the channel if you do it yourself on the tacoma. Also concert is as easy as making a mold out of wood and adding your self leveling mix. It also would be fun content and be cheap
Pouring my own concrete could be fun. My only hang up on the wrap is that if like to do a custom print
Dang those lights are Bright, nice upgrade. what are you going to do with the old lights? let me know if you're selling them.
I ordered a wallet using your code the other week. Loving the wallet
Trayvax makes great stuff. I'm glad you were able to use the discount code 👊
Look into some relays, I've got 12 led bars on my 87 burban. Gotta go with the relays, preferably with individual fuses in them
Damn dude 12 light bars!? I bet they can see your rig from space! That's awesome. I'll look into that
@@Maxx.Powell gotta light up the field in the dark to put goose decoys out. 😁
@@darealist5412 BUT 12?! Do you run dual batteries or something? Talk about 3 minutes of battery life. lol!
@@reanderson10 naw, LED are low amp draw. And I've wired them to a switch bank that will not run without the vehicle on. They are also not the quality of lights Max or the overland community might run. I have a 50", 1 20", 2 7" and 8 4x4 pods. And a volt meter on the switch panel. That way I can monitor my battery's voltage when they're on. If they were halogen lamps I would not recommend using only one battery.
Not related to the video but can't wait to rock the new MP yeti stickers!
Hey thanks man.. I'll have them availible on my website tommorow!
Heyya brother, Those pods pull 0.8 amps each and the bar pulls 24.5 amps, So 30 amps will do the job but you might need to run the bar and the pods on a fuse for each set.
Yeah I think the best solution is to seperate them and put them on their own switch
@@Maxx.Powell thats what i did. I have a set of life proof 40watt cubes and a 52 curved bar. And the pods and bar have there own switches.
Check out swiss tracks for the barn as a temporary solution for the dirt floor in the barn until you are ready for concrete. They work with UA-camrs so you might be able to work a deal with them.
Oooh interesting I'll have to check that out. Thanks a ton 👍
Just keep "upgrading" the fuse until it works! ;-) I don't know anything about that fuse box... can that circuit handle the current? It may be time to power the lights directly from the battery via larger wire (fused protected, of course) and then use a relay to control the load. Love your videos! -Scott
Hey Scott. You're right about overloading the fuse block. It's pretty much tapped out on anything over 25 amps. We are working on a solution though
Hahaha story of my life man. Can't tell you how many times I've never gone to store after putting the kid to bed
Hey man, are you using a blue sea fuse box??
Yes sir!
@@Maxx.Powell sweet. I’m looking at getting one. Are you using a 100amp breaker with it? Last question, did the Heretic light bar require the 30 amp fuse? Thanks for your time!!!
Looks sick! I’ll take your old lights off your hands for ya 😉.
But the Fiero is going to need some lighting lol
Maxx Powell damn. Your so right! Lol
Hey Maxx Powell, where did you get the American flag sticker on the driver side door of your truck? I want to get one and put it on mine. Love your vids and your build.
They are actually magnets! They are made by Tactilian check em out! My passenger side fell off hitting a puddle somewhere 😖
put the new lights in a custom circuit for safety ... oh nevermind i read your note,, good video i enjoy it
More truck videos please👍
Wait is steel more ductile or brittle than aluminum, I can't remember metallurgy!
Steel is deffinitly harder lol
Are your Cali raised lights for sale?
I think I'm gana mount them to the fiero 😂
Hey Maxx Powell ever been to an off road race specifically in Baja? You should try one out one day, their are multiple races here in the states but got a group planning to go the the Score Baja 1000 next year. You should come, would make a few awesome videos. I tried to find a way to message you through YT but dont know how.
I've been to the Baja 1000! Had a blast. Theres a whole series I made about it here on YT it's pretty fun. I'd love to come back sometime
@@Maxx.Powell yeah I just saw that on the video you did about the WeBoost when you planned to your phone. Well it's a peninsula run in 2020. When it gets closer and I know some more solid plans I'll reach out to you and see if it's something you are interested in doing again.
Trust me working on a dirt floor sucks my garage was a dirt floor we lived it for four years and we finally about a month ago got concrete
If you want to get serious about lighting, Baja Designs no question.
Owen G The Heretic studios lights make Baja designs look like eBay lights . Yes Bajas are very nice but they don’t match up
Yeah originally it was a tough choice but now I have a lot of faith in Heretic Studio. I actually turned down a sponsorship from Baja designs for Heretic because I believe so strongly in what they are doing and the product they are offering. Both are fantastic lights and both offer outstanding innovative designs but I personally want to see Heretic Studio make it big rather than support another massive corporation that doesnt really need help. I genuinely feel they are going to upset the market and create demand for higher quality products made in the USA once their name gets out. Dave the owner is one of the nicest dudes youl ever meet and he pours everything into his company he deserves my support and then some.
Understandable, I know Ive made the switch from Rigid to BD and havent looked back though.
I wanted to love CBI so badly, unfortunately the customer service was terrible and it took a couple trips to the hardware store to get parts they never sent me to put together the accessories.
Whats up fam!
At 15:30 you state that those pods are 100 watts. May want to double check that. I’d guess like >15 watts.
You have the room get your own lift, would be able to do more on your own.
That would be awesome 😍
Time to start looking at an extra battery.
Agreed!
Just do a small slab at a time for the concrete work
You could pour one slab of concrete in the barn for the sole purpose of vehicle maintenance.
That's a good idea. Then just have gravel on the rest for now.
@@Maxx.Powell Happy to help.
Tease!
Did you check your 40A relay switch? That might cause some fuses to break. You may have to increase it to an 80A Relay Switch just to be able to handle that power draw.
Can you do an EDC video !?!
Yeah ill put that on the calendar
Get some rubber stall mats for the barn for now
Was that The Legend of Zelda Theme @ 9:08 ? 😆
Hahah I was thinking about super smash bros 🤣
*S T A B L E M A T T S!!!*
Great video, are you planning on doing the ome sound system install?
Yeah I'll do that install pretty soon here
I see that fannypack at 13:42 - Thought we wouldn't notice, eh!??!
Oh man its so handy! And stylish lol
Please remember that fuses are designed to protect wiring not devices. If the wire is rated for 15 amps you shouldn’t just be putting a larger fuse. Doing that will cause the wires to overheat and potentially even cause a fire.
Can i have your old lights? Lol one FD brother to another haha
A true barn floor. If it was me, I'd be putting something down. Even a partial concrete floor, outdoor carpet, something.
Yeah it deffinitly needs somthing. It's just pure dirt, hay, poop and hair down there right now.
Maxx Powell - Barn life!
Use rubber mats or make some type of wood floors
So what justifies the $1,000 price tag for these other than they draw almost 40 amps!? I mean these are 10 times more expensive than amazon Chinese version that still gives really good light output on my Jeep. Even if they burn out 5 times, I’m still 500 bucks ahead.
These put out much more light and will last. No one enjoys replacing garbage products that continues to fail. Not to mention if you're building a vehicle that you're going to rely on then you dont want crap lights that are likely to burn out and might not work when you need.
$9000 for wrap is FU and code for ‘We don’t want to do what you’re requesting.’
ebay has some cheap stuff straight from china that works good for half the price
If you're talking about lights then they deffinitly dont work just as good, Ebay lights arent nearly as bright, they leak, they fall apart, their paint fades, the LEDs go out prematurely ect. I only know because I've tried a bunch of Ebay lights before lol
6k way too much for a wrap.
Push buttons on the hood to open? Ooooo.
Oh yes, the hood is fiberglass😍
How'd you get Carol to stop screeching at you? Everytime you was in the area she'd screech at you.
Angel Garcia probably because she was hungry
Anytime she gets to kill somthing her self she chills out for a while and doesnt screetch at me. It's a common behavior in hawks to be wired up if they haven't killed anything for a while
Second🤔
Also, pain in the dick is my fav. saying. #mywifehatesit. lol
...Those little pods aren't 100w. And I'm sure the big light bar is way more than 100w because the 20" Heretic lightbar I'm putting on my ATV is 120w, and you'res is much larger.... The little pods (BA-2) use two 6W LEDs each, and are 12w powered to 100%... If those little pods were 100W, even if each led was only 50w to make 100w for the pair of LEDs in each pod, you would probably only be able to leave them turned on for 15 seconds. That would be a ridiculous amount of power in such a small little package, I don't even think it's possible. I know they do make super high watt LEDs, but they are the COB style leds, where it's a series of smaller diodes within a single LED, and the LED itself is 1"-2" wide.... They are beefy, BRIGHT ass LEDs and require a really good heat sink... I think someone fashioned himself up an LED lightbar out of those ultra high wattage LEDs, like 6-10 of them if I recall correctly and it was freaking insane.. He was basically able to illuminate the entire side of a mountain like it was daylight, lol.... Anyways, those Heretic lights seem to be really quality stuff. I can't wait to get my ATV outfitted with some. I could definitely use better lighting at night.... Best of luck!
Buy a tractor with a backhoe attachment already like damn
They are so darn spendy! I check craigslist pretty much daily though. It's only a matter of time
@@Maxx.Powell they really are. Cant find one for less than 12k in Arizona.
@@Maxx.Powell so sell the Can Am....sacrilegious I know. 😋😁
Big mower attachment too.
First
@Maxx wraps are stupid!!! $9000 for a wrap?!?!! A custom paint Job is like $5000 ... soo stupid to do a wrap. These company's are being stupid.

I owe you a beer!
