Yes the stock lights are bad especially after they haze over. Before I switched mine out I was using my spot lights to try and see where I was going. I couldn't find an LED replacement light for my F250 that were made by a company I had heard of so I replaced mine with some less expensive...

Taught skiing and snowboarding for 25 years mainly in Tahoe. Ran the ski and snowboard school at Boreal for years. Take a lesson, buy a Beginner's Package that includes the Lift, lesson and Rental, it's the least expensive way to go even if you have your own equipment. Boreal, Soda Springs, or...

It's about cost and availability. The Habitat is a premium product that sells for over $9000.00 The tent fabric is the best in the market place as is the designer and manufacture. The Flippac sell for around $5000.00 with much of the market in the used sector. It's unknown at this point how...

I'm still working on this. Tent design and sewing is a very complex process. We worked with Nemo Equipment to make the tents for our Habitats. It took me 18 months to find the right material, and Nemo would only work with one manufacturer in the USA. Shows you how many US based companies have...

I'm sorry but that is just not the case. Building a tent out of a heavier weight material is a skill that is almost lost in North America. There are a few people who can still do it but not many.

Truth of the matter is I had arrangements to have a prototype tent made, shell, hoops, and original tent material were all ready to go. Then the person doing the work dropped off the face of the earth. I recently heard where he might be now and I'm once again pursuing the matter. I would like...

Yes the awnings have been shipped. We should have received them last week but there was a mess up with the freight company. We are expecting them this Monday. Will keep you posted.

Check the valley between the heads for the source of the oil leak. If you have a bright flashlight you should be able to check the seals on the bottom of the turbo. Turbo leaks are seen at the back of the valley. Leaks at the front of the valley are usually from the high pressure oil system...

I have about the same milage on my 7.3 and it's running well. The engine should be able to go to 500K if it's well maintained. Replacing the seals in the turbo isn't to bad a job, replacing it with a rebuild balanced unit would be the answer if it's more than seals. It's a good price for the...

Try the Propex Propane Heater we also offer a portable unit.

Few points for clarification. Water weighs 8.33 lb per gallon,gasoline weighs 6.0 lb per gallon. Tongue weight and load positioning can be calculated into a trailers design. AT starts with a balanced trailer, or as close as we can get to a balanced trailer and then we create tongue weight...

The ring inside the bead is the safety, typical for most wheels. Seating a tire on the bead is usually a straight forward matter. I would assume that the tire shop inspected the tire and wheel to see if there were any issues. Older tires that have been used as spares dry out from lack of use...

Let us know if the lid alignment goes well. If you need more help contact AT directly. The shift of the lid is due to the torsion bar being anchored in the front right hinge mechanism and the torque being transmitted to the rear left. Typically it's just a small shift, and doing up the right...

Freezing water is an issue. Larger tanks won't freeze when the temps drop for short periods of time but prolonged low temps will turn them to ice. Water in small areas will freeze very quickly, so water pumps freeze and cause costly damage, as do water pipes and outlets. If you have an...

Removing the stock tires and installing snow tires has a marked improvement on performance in snow and ice. We have a 2008 Prius that we owned in Tahoe for many years and it did well on winter roads. It is also a trooper on dirt roads. A little more ground clearance and 4WD would make this...

We haven't installed a compressor in that location on an FJ, but it sounds like you have space where the spare was. If you are worried about the sheet metal thickness you could put a stiffening plate on the inside above the mounting location. Apart from the Jeep JK we do not have a stock...

Couple of questions for you. Which model of Extremeair air compressor do you have? Is your spare tire in the stock location? If not do you have anything in the stock location? Are you running your air system as a tank or tankless set up?

Yes it seems it would. You can calculate the power draw by finding out the wattage of each item you will be using, and working out the hours or fraction of an hour each item would be used for in a day. The next step is to work out the recharge rate from the vehicle to the trailer battery, then...

The radio, xmas lights (12 volt LED?) and charging a phone or lap top are no real issue for a full size car deep cycle. The 800 watt inverter to run a blender could be the real deal breaker. Inverters are inefficient and pull power. The power conversion is done in two steps, first the inverter...

Understand that we are all trying to help here. The problem is that what you are describing is legal if the trailer is built in the US. It is not legal if the trailer is being imported. David has to jump through the Federal hoops to make this work for him.
