    2003 Suburban ABS delete

    Dont know for the life of me why you would want to. Just get stainless lines and if need be, every 6 months or a year, coat them with motor oil or something. Before the mid 1990's, we were all taught to pump the brakes when slowing or stopping on ice. Under those conditions, just slamming on...

    1975 F250 Highboy Crewcab 4x4 Project

    When I was a kid, my father had a '78 Ford F150. Or maybe it was and F100. They might have even been called Explorer back then. 2 wheel drive, 8 foot bed, single cab, metallic forest green. We logged a lot and beat the shiite out of that truck. Not a Hight Boy by any stretch but that's what...

    Truck shell - Driving with the back window open

    I've opened mine for yard work on the weekend, closed the tailgate when done, and driven 60 highway miles to work the following Monday without realizing it Pool noodle along the bottom edge and tie down onto whatever sticks out is as good a solution as any. I've done something like that too

    What Earthroamer Won't Tell You!

    Maybe not Earthroamer but you can get Invoice for any regular car truck or van. I think RV as well?

    So I think the Michelin Defender is the perfect all-terrain tire...

    Only $1200 per set? Sign me up. I had gotten a quote last year for similarly sized Falken Wilpeaks that was closer to $1700 a set. Ran Michilin LTX on my 1994 GMT400 Chevy Blazer Silverado 2-door 5.7 liter. Never lost grip. Ok, TWICE I lost grip out of 8 years. Total rainstorm going down...

    Outstanding video comparing wide versus narrow tires

    New England wintahs you will not see wides on any truck hired as a snow plow. All pizza cutters. Tall, somewhat on the narrow side, with good tread on a 4x4, usually diesel. Had a landscaper who got the snowplow contract for a building I was in. Showed up in a Tundra. That's not bad all by...

    F150 bed rack / topper options?

    For me the advantage of a hard topper and rack combo were that I could put kayaks, ladders, rooftop luggage or whatever up on top, leaving the bed free for a home built sleep platform system (6 1/2 foot bed) that allowed totes of clothes, food or gear under. Taking my tonneau off allowed all...

    F150 bed rack / topper options?

    If it has to be a soft topper, there are tubular contractor grade racks with flat feet set at 90 degrees. Put that onto your empty truck bed, then the soft top sits on top of those flat feet. You could do the same with a hard top. These tubular frames bow out enough to fit around the outside...

    F150 bed rack / topper options?

    I have a GMC Sierra. Leer 180 hard topper, rises 4 inches from cab height. On top of that, Cap Rac by Trac Rac (now owned by Thule) bolted through with marine grade sealant. Works like a charm and holds TWO kayaks and everything you can fit in the bed of a full size truck.

    On board air options

    Some fine solutions here. I admit I just use a Ryobi P-747 dual function inflator and a manual tire gauge that I keep "on board" my truck

    GM 6.5’ truck cap topper for sale

    I added a Trac Rac Cap Rac on mine but I have to say this one is a much nicer platform to start from. Someone should snag it

    GM 6.5’ truck cap topper for sale

    I've got one that's slightly higher than cab height. Made for the GMT900 series (07 to 13) but fits my K2 version 2014. Love to be able to keep things or people covered, dry and under lock and key.

    Small bulb replacement

    Whoever knows how to do that will hopefully also know how to change the front corner market lights in the K2 versions of the GMC Sierra. Good God, you need skinny arms of rubber with a steel trap grip
