    If only one: Fog Lights or Driving Lights?

    In addition, the light its self needs to be SAE approved for use "On Road". In general, only fog lights are approved for use with oncoming traffic. The majority of Driving Lights, Pencil Beams and Spot Lights must be turned off with approaching trafffic. Even if you aim the Driving lights way...

    Micro Locks

    Yes, I meant winching out another vehicle, not your own. At times the e-brake is not enough to hold the winching vehicle. It is easy when you have a co-pilot to depress the brakes, but sometimes I have been short handed and would like to lock all 4 brakes.

    Lightforce 140s for ON and OFF Road??

    I can't wait to see the light test! I wish this light could have been included: Pattern - 40' Width - Length 2500' (1/2 mi.) I had a pair that I bought from K-mart back in the day. I wish I never sold them with an old truck. They were awesome. Current price is $220.00 for a pair at...

    Lightforce 140s for ON and OFF Road??

    I think it’s hard for a magazine to be completely honest when they compare products at times. Especially when the products they review are from the advertisers they are trying to get for the magazine. However, I have been very impressed with Overland Journal and they have been objective from...

    Lightforce 140s for ON and OFF Road??

    The Hellas you have is driving lights, and should be wired to work with your high beams. When your brights are on, then the Hella's should then come on. If you dim your brights, then the driving lights should then turn off. Especially if you are using them "On road" with traffic. On some of my...

    They are not retreads. One of them was on a municiple vehicle. My guess is that they are a commercial tire not normally available in the us market.

    bridgestone w/ bfg tread

    OK I have sceen a couple of tucks with Bridestone A/T tires, but the tread is not a dueler tread, but a clone of a BFG A/T. One set was on a 3/4 ton pk, and the other set was on a TJ. They were not retreads, and any help would be great.

    Push-button 4x4, thought?

    the old days Yes, there is something satisfying by moving a manual transfer case shift lever. It makes the driver feel in control. But I also remember spending a half hour plus at a trail head attempting to get a manual transfer case out of 4 lo and into 2hi after running a trail in an FJ...

    1974 M35A2K 4x4

    Hoa My HOA would be pist, they don't officially allow anything over a 3/4 ton. The neighbors would really hate it when warming it up at 6am for the drive to work. I bet a lot of people in DC wouldn't mind having a neighbor with one.

    Charging while Winching

    Installing dual batteries will allow you to winch longer, since they will provide additional storage capacity for electricity. A higher output alternator will also allow you winch longer since it can provide more electricity, and causing the batteries to draw down at a slower rate. Remember the...

    Propane 20lb or 5lb, or.. what?

    Tank Swaps Just a reminder about swaping tanks. It seems that instead of raising the price on tank swaps, many distributers have been short filling the propane tanks. If you are going on an extended trip and will need the extra propane, have them refilled.
