I don't remember the manufacturer (there are probably several), but you can find light mounts that are designed to mount onto round light bars, roll cages, and exoskeletons. They come in multiple sizes for various standard tubing diameters and usually have an adjustable plate to actually bolt...

Haul the fridge into the hotel at night and run on AC?

On that trans, does leaving it in 3 prevent the torque convertor from locking?

I bought several of the SafeJack 6-ton adapters like the one below. I think I got the universal pad, the flat pad and the pinch-weld pad, maybe one other, so that I am prepared for pretty much anything you can do with a scissors jack. I don't remember the exact ID and OD measurements, but the...

If you shop around (eBay), you can find the H1 scissors jacks for as low as $30, some new or used milsurp, some brand new from AmGeneral (they bought the Hummer brand from GM). I carry one in my Dodge and added a selection of SafeJack adapters to the bag so that I can lift from just about any...

I have an EZ-Awn Bat270 on my truck, and like it. Biggest advantage for me is that it is quick to deploy and to store. I spend a lot of time in the desert and prefer something that is quick for short duration use. I wanted a Hannibal but there were none in North America when I looked around...

You do have a point with the IFS, but my '98 K1500 has just about the same square wheel well openings and it ran the 35s with no interference on the outside. There was some rubbing on the inside rears, but a BFH and a block of wood took care of that. No interference anywhere with the 33s on...

If you keep close to stock wheel offset, you can probably run 33"s without any suspension mods. A leveling kit or lift won't give you any additional ground clearance because the limiting factor is the distance under the diff pumpkins. Lift will improve approach and departure angles a little...

Not clear to me why you want something denser than the Pelican-type stuff, but there are options. First, go to local upholstery supply and see what you can lay your hands on. The black foam like the Pelican stuff comes in various thicknesses, starting at maybe 1/8" or 1/4" and goes up to the...

But with the number of recalls and TSB's they have on their trucks, FCA has more than a little room for improvement. Only two on my Dodge. One for the steering linkage (passed the inspection, no change required). The other for the Takata air bags, same as many other manufacturers. Tundra...

The Ram has made a lot of progress in terms of interior comfort and refinement. However, the underlying platform is still a truck, not all that different from the Tundra's design. The 5.7l Hemi isn't a particularly refined or advanced engine either, certainly not compared to Toyota's 5.7l DOHC...

I don’t personally think intake or exhaust mods do much of anything. I gotta disagree, at least as it applies to my 5.7 Hemi. I did a CAI and cat-back exhaust, and those helped a little. Adding the Edge Insight tuner (one of the few that was CARB-approved for CA st the time) made a huge...

FYI, my old K1500 with the 5.7 Vortec is running a stock exhaust and a K&N Filtercharger (big filter, open air box, fat plastic air tube to the intake) and my seat-of-pants dyno says it does improve performance. Not a heck of a lot, but enough to notice. But beware, it is LOUD under full...

Forget about recalibrating the speedo and odo, unless you want to get a programmer/tuner like an Edge Insight. It's easy enough to calculate your actual vs indicated speed at a few data points and then do the conversion in your head while you are driving. If you know your speedo is reading 6%...

I have a couple of South African low lid ammo boxes (actually came full of ammo). They appear to be very similar to the FR and generic (e.g., Wolf Dog) boxes, but are dark brown and seem to be a bit sturdier. I suspect this design has been around long enough that it is now being produced in...

I managed to get three of the Element extinguishers on the Pelican group buy. One will go in the bed of my Power Wagon to complement the 2-1/2# Halon next to the driver's seat. The others will be the primary extinguishers in my other vehicles. Fire extinguishers are a lot like handguns in...

if you want to cross-shop the Ram 1500 against something, it should be the Tundra, not the Tacoma. I have a Tundra CrewMax and a Dodge 2500 (Power Wagon). Bottom line is that the Tundra just can't cut it against the current Dodge/Ram products. The Tundra is not a bad truck, but the...

The Ram is more truck for the buck. A friend of mine is looking for a new truck and he's probably getting a Rebel. He has looked at and/or driven just about everything out there and he has narrowed it down to a Rebel or F-150. He had a first gen Tundra for about 17 years and the new Toys just...

But that's ok... its 100% your right to be ignorant and its 100% my right to laugh at you and put you on ignore. Seems like you are pretty easily butt-hurt. Make your case with some data. Re your $450 each and two hours labor, here is some actual data for you: Here’s a breakdown of...

And what is this based on? How exactly is the EcoBoost complicated? Last time I looked the EcoBoost had fewer moving parts than a V8, used less fuel, makes more power, and has one hell of a bottom end in it. You seem to be an EcoBoost fanboy and that is just fine...for you. The V-6 block may...
