Icon4 Longtime member with a new intro of sorts... BUGGMAN

As many of you know, I've been on the Ranger forums for several years & I've seen lots of changes. I've learned quite a bit from fellow members & I hope I've helped teach others as well.

I've had this idea kicking around for a while, but I finally got around to starting it...

Drum roll please....

I've just started my own YouTube Channel: BUGGMAN MODS

Laugh if you want, I've only got a couple short videos uploaded right now but I hope to add tons of videos of projects I've done, projects I have in mind & various other crazy ideas. As I'm able, I want to add some How-To tutorials, Tips & Tricks, who knows what else I'll come up with.

The comments are open on my videos so anyone can post messages, comments, suggestions, etc. If there's something you'd like to see or if you have a question on how something was done, let me know.
I want to keep my channel family friendly so any vulgar or nasty comments will get removed.

I hope many of the friends I've made over the years in the Ranger community will check out my channel, LIKE my videos, Subscribe to my channel... maybe even click on an ad once in a while (I know everyone hates ads, but if I get a few bazillion ad clicks, Video Likes & Subscribers, I might actually make $1 in 10 years )

lol

That's the first video I uploaded a while back.
I was messing around with some inexpensive white/yellow 3157 switchback led's that didn't actually work like switchbacks. One color was supposed to go out when the other color came on, but when one color was on & the other was supposed to go off, they both stayed on.

After some tinkering, some cussing & some head scratchin' I devised a way to get 'em to work like they're supposed to. Only downside is that it required an additional bulb socket, pigtail & relay for each side to work without any major modding of the stock wiring.

Kinda put it on the back burner for a while, but it's one of the mods I'd like to get back into so I can add it to my truck.

HEY… !
Checked out the videos, all look good, the Under Hood one is a little too dark for my taste.
Good Luck on this project, I hope you get a lot of revenue from the ads that will pil up on the site.

Good to have you as part of this Forum, we need to keep R-F together.
We have to read about Chebby Truck, little cars that have engine so small they can get a zillion miles per gallon and big truck that will never be Rangers, so I guess we can put up with some of the best LED Mods I have seen, well done my friend.

That was suppose to be a compliment…

Yeah, that was one of the first videos I did with my new phone... still haven't figured out how to adjust the brightness for night shots.
In person the under hood lights light up the entire engine compartment almost as bright as daytime.

I just checked & today I now have 20 subscribers!
Now I only need 999,980 more and I might break the $1 mark

Can't say thanks enough guys. I might be a little slow getting new vids done & uploaded, but I hope to have some more cool stuff going on.

Just started a huge project on my folks Escape that I've had on hold for a couple years... unfortunately I don't have any before pics or videos (stupid me) but the end result should be pretty nice. Hope to get a full walkaround video with some good lighting once everything is finished.

Quick update... I've got a few more videos edited & uploaded & I'll be uploading more as soon as I have all my old videos re-edited.
Once all the old stuff is finished, I'm gonna start on some new stuff.
Stay Tuned!

Hi buggman. Just checked out a few of your videos. Love the LED dash. I'll have to look into that. My work bench looks a lot like yours. I keep thinking about a clean bench being a sign of a sick mind. At least that's what I tell myself.
