    Do I need a relay with an LED light bar?

    your constant hot 12v source should be from the battery, the trigger should only come from the high beam or switch

    Tacoma Dblcab Owners, I need some help

    Can someone provide me with the measurements between wheel openings back of front wheel to front of back wheel on a dblcab. I want to see if the sliders/sidesteps made by All Pro would fit on my Dodge Dakota. I emailed them a few weeks back and Kurtis asked for some measurements, which I have...

    Barlowrs Expedition Tacoma Build

    many many moons ago, as in the 70's and early 80's, you had to have a license to operate a CB, much like the dinosaurs, that too is extinct. IIRC you stopped being able to apply for them in the late 90's.

    My Dodge Dakota Q-cab

    Finally got around to doing a long thought about mod, that's been sitting in my garage for 6 months, heated windshield wipers. Purchased an Everblades Heated Wiper Kit. Very complete and straight forward kit, the only changes I made to it was a different switch and had to lengthen the main...

    Gitout Expedition Build - 2013 Toyota Tacoma DC TRD

    cause of failure was never determined, local 3M rep. looked at it. As near as they could determine, it was either defective material, contamination of the paint, or poor solution. The solution was premixed by a local shop that installs clear bras. I also bought the material from a shop that was...

    Gitout Expedition Build - 2013 Toyota Tacoma DC TRD

    strong word of warning on DIY clear bra. In 2005 I bought a DIY 3M clear bra kit off ebay from a retailer in S.C. and installed on my Dakota and my wife's Audi, the kits were only for the A-pillar and leading edge of the roof. Within 3 yrs the material failed on both, the result, both vehicles...

    quality winches?

    Local 4x4 shop, in addition to Superwinch, Warn, Milemarker also carries Engo. Looked at the 10,000 lbs for $599 with synthetic line recently. They've sold about 20 of them in the last year, only failure and it was related to user abuse. Thinking if I decide to replace my Milemarker, that will...

    My Dodge Dakota Q-cab

    depends, since I always have a load in the back, it hasn't made a difference, but I did check them the other day while the tires were off and they seem to be wearing good. Fronts are almost due, so when I take it in for fronts I'll have them check the rears as well and let me know if everything...

Was planning a bunch of work on it in April, however, the IRS decided they need...

    Adventure Build: 2001 Dodge Cummins QCSB

    2x 120 gal tanks on the semi, distance of 8' from the tanks to the engine and back, with heated tanks and it still wanted to gel at -18, it's the freeze point of the fuel that is the problem, also, the filters and lines will start to get before the tanks even with filter mounted to the engine.

    Adventure Build: 2001 Dodge Cummins QCSB

    an issue that I'm kinda surprised no one has brought up, your fuel filter mounting point might cause some issues in very cold temps. If you plan to spend time in the mountains during the winter, you fuel filters are going to be very exposed to freezing temps and especially snow/ice from splash...
