    Whelen Amber LED light bar, made in USA!

    Sold. Greetings folks, I have a whelen traffic advisor LED light bar that I modified to use as an amber dust/fog/visibility light. Originally, this was a warning light bar for LE uses, I removed the red and blue flashers, cut down the housing and wired all the amber LED's to stay on steady...

    minimizing dust intrusion

    I guess I should not have used the word "pressurize", I come from an aviation background and know that I can't pressurize the cabin of my vehicle. Maybe I should have worded it like this "use the air conditioning to the best of its ability to attempt to create an scenario of airflow leaving the...

    Thanks again for the info! I've been to Mt Laguna for work (forest service) a few times, but need to head back up there to explore/recreate a bit. Mike

    Japanese SUV goodness: 2001 Isuzu Trooper

    Excellent pictures! And thanks for the heads up on off road warehouse, I will call the one closest to me (Escondido) and see what they have, I'm looking for their folding camp chairs. Where did you go to find snow? I've been thinking of taking my son out to find some. Mike

    minimizing dust intrusion

    Good advice! I recently changed them out and discovered that the door had been broken off and replaced with duct tape. For now I used a 100mph tape as a "door" but need to figure out a better solution. Mike

    minimizing dust intrusion

    Greetings, This weekend was the first time I got my new to me 2nd gen Xterra (2006) out in the dirt. I certainly wasn't taking all the necessary precautions, nor was my 5 year old son, but I got what seemed to be an excessive amount of dust coming in through places like the interior door...

    Japanese SUV goodness: 2001 Isuzu Trooper

    If you did end up swapping to an older style 3rd/axle assembly, this seems like a really good deal. http://sandiego.craigslist.org/ssd/tls/5306333630.html Mike

    How serious is this damage? R50 Pathfinder

    That's one hell of a snow bank to do that kind of damage!!! If you use the above example of 515 for the part, that only leaves your 5 hours of labor at 100 and hour to exceed your 1k mark. I imagine most shops are going to come in north of 1k to get that repaired. The alignment shop didn't...

    Panhard bar with leaf springs.... ?

    From that picture, the shock angle looks REALLY far from vertical. Shocks work best when in an orientation that most closely matches the direction in which the suspension travels, so in this case vertical, or damn close. I'm going to second what Brian said, not only because I like the guy, but...

    My first post - Thoughts and opinions?

    Hi there, Congrats on the new addition to the family! I'll second the notion that the rear door openings are slightly odd, and can be troublesome for car seats. My son is 5, so I'm in a different scenario than you, but I find the rear door openings to be less than ideal. My 3rd gen 4runner...

    Lockhart Basin trip report - Nissan Frontier

    Thank you for the info! I haven't actually weighed mine, but according to the interwebs a 285/75/16 AT3 weighs 57 pounds, to not really too far off from what the 255 weighs. I felt a difference when I went from 265/76/16 Michelin LTX AT2's to my 285's but it wasn't quite as substantial as I...

    Lockhart Basin trip report - Nissan Frontier

    Nice truck and great trip report! How do you like the 255/85/16's? I went back and forth between those and 285/75/16's AT3's, but ended up with the 285 at3's. I'm curious to know if you felt there was a substantial difference in power/braking with the 255's. Mike

    2nd gen nissan frontier/xterra blue sea fuse box mounting

    I like those setups!!! I can understand wanting a nice short run to the battery, but I really like having this fuse box mounted internally. When I can afford a nice sealed system, it will go under hood. Mike
