Last night I ran over what looks like a piece of animal bone while out in Creede Colorado. I had a spare tire but before I mounted I took advantage of the situation and got some practice in by trying to plug the hole with 2 plugs. That didn’t work but I feel like it might have worked...

The screen is stuck on Boot. This happens every time the batteries run down and cut off power. Usually I do a hard restart by pressing the 2 button simultaneously and that usually works or I remove the power wire but this time it’s stuck for longer than normal. I checked the website and...

We would like to upgrade from our Sprinter Van so I’m trying to figure out what kind of money we’re looking at and if this is even doable without spending stupid money so lets get the unique part out of the way. We want to DIY your standard 4-6 wheel expedition truck (commercial...

The 2 amp mini fuse that’s for the control panel keeps shorting out. I don’t see anything physically wrong with the cable that connects the control panel to the main unit. Thoughts?

I’m trying to fabricate a switch panel that fits in the ashtray Insert of my Gwagon but it’s a really tight spot so I need a pair of 2 pole micro 12v switches. I made a mock up of what I want to do using single pole rocjer switches so I would need something smaller. The light bar is from...

I have the 18” saw with led light. It was working fine up until last night. It made a little click that I’ve heard before when the blade was jammed up so I took it apart and it needed a cleaning. After cleaning it up it doesn’t function at all now. Not even the light works. Fully charged...

Test fitting a set of Pewag Brenta-C chains before we head up to Maine. Tire size 265/75/r16 with the mud flaps removed. Looks like I have an inch of space there between the chain and the fender. I have a 2013 Mercedes’ sprinter 2500 2wd with an Agile off-road suspension kit on the van with...

I’m adding a pair of Baja Design LP9 pro’s and a single onx6 20” bar to my truck and I’m trying to figure out which should be amber and which should be white. We live in Pa so not much need for range so my thoughts were to have the LP9’s amber and then have the onx6 in white to light up the...

Anybody have any information on this company? They’re based out of Sweden and look to offer a decent product. I like the amber driving silhouette but can’t find any info on them other than their promotional stuff. https://www.strandseurope.com/product/siberia-nr-7-night-ranger-driving-light-led/

I’ve tried to use it twice on other people’s vehicles and both times it hasn’t worked. Both times involved batteries that were drained by either an inverter or leaving the lights on. I’ve read online that these jump boxes with their smart chargers need to see a nominal charge in order to work...

I made the mistake of posting a short clip of my G “online” and called it a truck in the description. Terrible idea! One of the first comments was “it’s not a truck”. I looked into it a bit and the word “truck” has a very broad definition but basically it comes down to weigh and frame...

I need to mount 2 traction boards next to the the exhaust fan up front (1 one each side to keep height down). What’s the best way to do this?

I want to install either a 27” or 24” marine deck hatch on the roof of my 2013 Sprinter Van. To do this I would need to remove one roof rib, either 3rd or 4th from the back. I’ve read through a few threads posted here about removing roof ribs and the potential issues. From what I understand the...

I’m looking for a winch that I could use on my 8,000lb Sprinter Van. My van is 2wd and the winch would be mounted on the rear factory 2” receiver hitch. The winch would be used on forests roads mainly, in the event I get stuck in a rut or slip off onto the shoulder etc etc. I carry chains...

For the record, I don’t mind the noise coming from the exhaust but it’s only a matter of time before some clown calls the cops on me and reports “suspicious black van with strange noise” What are some decent options for a 1” exhaust line? I’m already getting an exhaust line extension to get...

Anybody have any experience with this Australian company? They have great reviews and seem to offer a solid product at a decent price. I’m looking to put together an area light package for my Sprinter van with close to 8-10 lights so a few dollars per light really adds up...
