It should be a 24vdc system - so it would have additional capacity margin.

I believe a rear fog lights are legal in the US - And this would be the most effective multi-purpose safety item to install an a vehicle traveling. It works well in bad weather on-road during heavy snow and fog and conditions of limited visibility. The only reason why I am glade that they are...

For on road use - I would suggest that one gets an official "Rear fog light" - mounted on the center line and the left side of the vehicle on the bumper. For off road use - I would think an amber "dust light" would be the best. So in my way of thinking - install the rear fog light with a...

Off Road Tire Michelin does make a great off road tire - it is the BF Goodrich Tire. Michelin=B.F. Goodrich; same company owns both brands of tires and markets them for different markets. The LTX M/S2 is a decent tire, that see's a lot of use on vehicles used by farmers/ranchers. It can handle...

We run them on a 6 of our work trucks that spend 85% of the time on dirt roads ; the other 15% highway run to the city for parts. The are a respectable tire. I would use them w/o hesitation. I

EV & More I jump in on this one a bit: IMO - In two generations, most people will not have the need for a drivers license. The self driving vehicle will be the predominant source of transportation. My guess you will pay a monthly fee a for a vehicle service. If you need a ride, you will use...

So my work truck is a 2015 GMC 1500 Double Cab. I can't believe the Truck has three fuse boxes? (1 under the hood, 1 left side dash board, 1 right side dash board. What really makes it interesting is they use two different types of fuses in the same fuse panel. The have the standard mini blade...

Expo vehicle How about the one you own? - There are great expeditions that have gone around the world in (Volkswagen, Fords, Chevy, Land-cruiser, heck even an old London Cab); Pick one and go for it. I have been on trails, and seen almost everything. Just pick one and go for it. Don't over...

Fact - it you put weight in the back of a truck, springs will compress, and it will sit lower. If you remove the "Normal" rake in a truck with a leveling kit, the back end is going to be lower then the front end. Suggestions: 1) Replace existing rear springs - if your OEM springs are worn, new...

Big government has caught up to the diesels. Gas engines were having the same problems when Uncle Sam slapped all the emissions on them in the late 70's and early 80's. The engines had problems, low horse power, a lot of extra maintenance. Thirty years later, with fuel injection the engines are...

Here in Colorado - I have never been some place and told my self " Dam - I should have gotten wider tires"; I have been places where the I have gotten nearly stuck on a hard pack road with a fine layer of sand/silt on the road that acted like ball bearings. - a narrower tire would have increased...

I would get a full sized truck. I have a Tacoma and pull a 20' hybrid trailer with it. The truck is full with my wife, two girls, and two Newfoundlands. The trailer puts the weight close to maximum. It's manageable, but the V-6 has to work really hard. Mileage drops below 8. I think you would...

It seems my Tacoma has a personal problem. It's nuts are swollen. I was at the local independent shop, and they advised that I should replace the nuts on my Tacoma because the are swelling, and will be difficult remove with the OEM lug wrench. Should I be concerned, I have never had swollen nuts...

I made it on my adventure to and from Iceland, and I would recommend the trip for a number of reasons> 1) Iceland Air - The actually treat air line passengers as passengers, and not self loading cargo. Our flight was on a 757, and the pitch of the seats is a nice change from the domestic...

So I dug this post out from the past. I have had bad luck with dealers, so I generally avoid their service departments. So I finally took the Tacoma to a dealer for the stack of recalls (Springs, Frame) and asked them to check the air bag light. I dropped the truck off last night, so they had it...

My other rant is about studs - if you are purchasing a dedicates now tire, you most likely don't need the studs. Tire compounds and tread patterns will do most of the work. And many people don't consider the fact that dry breaking distances increase dramatically with studs. In my case, is it...

My frustration when reading some of the questions about winter use of tires constantly shows on this thread: " I put X tire on my truck and tried went threw 10" of fresh snow" - great in those conditions a lot of tires will work. On winter trail runs M/T are effective especially when aired...

I am with everyone else - get a better sleeping bag or bags or blankets. Once you are settled into you sleeping bags your body should be able to keep you warm throughout the night. I have put mummy bags inside of the bulky rectangle sleeping bag for years when camping - it adds considerable...

Traveling to Iceland for a quick winter get away with the wife. Any suggestions on things to do, places to see, and any other items to look forward too?

This thread caught my attention also - My wife and I are arriving in January for the same tour. I wanted to see the norther lights. Direct from Denver. Price is about the same - all via Icelandic Air.
