    Lexus GX470 Expedition build

    I do not, I just recall reading an article about in Four Wheeler or Petersen's back in the day. In the late 80's, Nebraska was a $50 fine because I got nailed a few times running KC daylighters off a bed bar while doing 65 in the middle of the night on I-80.

    Lexus GX470 Expedition build

    It's a state by state thing as far as whether or not you will be harassed. IIRC, W. Virginia is one of the worst, especially for roof mounted lights, I seem to recall Jeep and Nissan had issues and had to stop selling Liberty's and Xterra's with factory mounted roof lights. Nebraska used to be...

    Our 9 day cabs spend all day along the front range of Colorado, typical day is 10 to 13 hours, and 10 to 15 drop/hooks of ocean containers within the metro area, stop/go traffic, that's all they do. As for hostlers, you might want to talk to Wally World, they have push button automatics at the...

    winch wars

    I've got a milemarker E-8000, never maintained it, switched to synthetic last year, works great. Although local 4x4 shop is recommending a rebuild as they aren't crazy about the sounds it's making. Maybe come winter I'll yank it off and let them tear it down. Have thought of replacing it with...

    Lets see that off road lighting!

    since I'm often leaving for work many hours before the sun contemplates hitting the horizon, or coming home many hours after the sun has departed, I need the extra light. Not to mention I love going for a night drive in the mountains, when I was younger it gave me a chance to clear my head and...

    3"/2" lift for z71 suburban on ebay?

    the idea of using stepped keys vs. stock keys, you can often get better tension and lift without putting too much strain on the other components that will wear out (CV's, ball joints).

    tire mileage - how long did your last set last?

    Factory Wranglers in my Dakota in '00 were replaced @ 11,000 miles by a set BFG AT's. Gave my dad the Wranglers for his Dakota, he got 45,000 miles. First set of BFG's I traded in after 40,000 miles, still had at least 20,000 miles left. Second set were warranty replaced after 25,000 miles...

    2014 Silverado Black Ops

    couple dealers in my area sell new Chevy's with lifts, they also tack on a massive markup. $40,000 1/2 ton Silverado + $2,500 3" lift = $55,000 final price, and there are people who pay it.

    Anyone running auxiliary lights for snowfall?

    I run a set PIAA 001 xt's clear and PIAA 510 Ion Crystal. Actually planning to add another set maybe, I do drive a lot at night (often starting work at 2 am) and drive a lto in the snow, rain. Only complaint I have, PIAA's use a glass lens and give off a lot of heat, prone to stress cracking...

    My Dodge Dakota Q-cab

    Installed this on the front today, definitely shows that I need new T-bars and keys, that will have to be in the works. The downside, they make the front end super tight over any bumps, but after two days and 60 miles of driving with them, they aren't bad. left side awaiting install right...

    Saguache's High Country Taco Build

    Wish I would have seen this sooner, REI just had a huge 20% sale on Yakima/Thule items. Picked up a matched set of Q towers and 56" bars for my Dakota, about $240. The Q clips I found on ebay for cheap. Ran into a fit issue trying to install it this weekend, had Rack Attack do the install, $50...

    road Shower

    Thanks for the info on it, might have to look into one. Although, I'm wondering if I could have one made for cheaper than what the price on this was.
