Take a look at the round 48-LED lights at Northern Tool. They run 30 hours on 3 AA and put out a lot of light. I bought 2 for $11.99 each and there is plenty of light and no wiring to have to deal with. I was considering the Hong Kong stirps but found these from another board I am on and they are awesome.

One string will run non-stop for a couple of days on a fully charged vexilar battery. If you are running them off a battery that is being used for other things as well, the length of time will of course be diminished.

My BHK lights showed up yesterday. The ship date was the fifteenth and I probably ordered them the 13th or so. So all in all took about two weeks to get them. They look really cool but i have not hooked them up yet. Probably work on that tonight or tomorrow.

I looked at many different brands of rope lights, nothing I saw could compare to the BHK lights. I'm not sure if I looked specifically at the Scheels lights, but I imagine they are comparable to most of the other rope lights out there.

I ordered two sets of the 48 white lights from BESTHONLED last night. I didn't get any backorder notice, so I'm hoping to have them by the middle of December if not earlier. I'll let everyone know what I think of them when I get them in and have a chance to put them up in my Guide.

Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to invest in this company with all the guys that have ordered up these lights. I ordered (5) 48cm string lights a while back, and they were on backorder at that time too. I don't think I ended up getting them until a month or so after I placed my order. I am very pleased with the light output. I wired up one set in an Otter Den and was surprised that one strip was plenty bright.

MuleShack, lets cross our fingers that they got in a new shipment on Tuesday and that we will get them fairly soon. If they send out a backorder notice, you would think I would have gotten one too if they didn't have any. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

I ordered two 48cm strips on 11/1. Put them on my Cabelas credit card. Got home and the wife was panicked and tells me Cabelas called and said someone was trying to charge something on our card in Hong Kong so she told them not to approve the transaction. Once I told her it was me and we cleared things up with Cabelas, I got a notification that the lights were on back order. I got confirmation that they were shipped 11/14 and left the country 11/16. I still haven't seen them. Hope they get here soon. I sure would like to get them installed. With this cold weather, it's making ice fast. Can't wait to get out.

I thought maybe we lucked out, but I just got the back order notice in my email today. With my luck, now that I have actually found good lights, they will show up next April. tongue.gif For those of you that don't like lanterns, use a headlamp if you have one. I did that when I was by myself quite a bit last year and it works okay. If you don't have a headlamp you should get one anyway! Makes packing up tip-ups and other gear very nice at the end of the day.

I just got my 2 strings from HonLED on Saturday. I installed them in my otter cabin and am amazed at the light output. I anticipated needing a bit more for over the holes so I built two more lights using 1156 LED's. I don't think I need them. Can't wait to get out.

Ordered mine 3 dys ago and recieved a back order notice right away. Today I recieved a new notice that the order was being processed. Let's hope that they got some in and are shipping. In the meantime, I also purchased some LED puck lights from Harbor Freight. $5.99 each, 5 hi-intensity bulbs each, run on 3AAA batteries, extremely bright, and last a long time. My son was playing with one and left it on for three days outside in the garage. It still works and is very bright. I guess that I will use those until the BHK lights get here.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
