Tell her to do it. My wife's dermatologist recommended it. May even qualify as a medical expense with the doctor's Rx.

I can rationalize it because I have had a couple of melanoma surgeries on my face and film is cheaper than a skin graft. Should have done it a couple years ago. This thread got me moving, so thanks for bringing it up.

I guess my chains are HD mud & snow because they are USMC surplus H-1 chains cut down to fit 35x12.50-17s. Grabbed them when I had the chance but have never had to use them. Bought four, and they weigh a lot (seems like about 50 pounds per pair in the bags, but have not weighed them).

I just had the front door windows filmed on my white Dodge truck. Used the 3M Crystalline 90% transmittance (closest they make to dead clear). No use reports yet because the truck is on the lift for some suspension work. Will be in Yuma in 35 days for a good test. May get the windshield...

I have 'em. I like 'em. Running 35x12.50x17 on a Dodge at 8000+lbs. Replaced a set of Toyo MTs in same size. If you want an AT, you will not find a better AT for most purposes. If/when these wear out, I'll go with RTs or maybe back to MTs. MTs were very quiet, but ATs seem to be wearing a...

I'm doing something similar on a Tundra CrewMax with a 5.5' bed, but I'm going with the Yakima tracks screwed through the top of the fiberglass shell and Yakima gutter mounts on the cab, so that I don't have to drill the sheet metal. I also have a Yakima DryDock that fits into the receiver...

The house battery on my truck has been mounted under the cab on the frame rail for close to ten years. First one was an Optima, then replaced with an Odyssey. Never a lick of trouble with the mounting location, but I did fabricate a HD battery box/mount out of welded steel to protect the...

No ARB Twin for me, but I just bought an ARB Single. There are lots of reports on the interwebs about ARB overheating issues, so I called ARB USA. They told me the heating issues are generally with the Twins because a compressor generates a lot of heat and the Twin is basically two singles...

Separate switch for me because I don't trailer my vehicles and I need to be able to back up without annoying everybody around me. And sometimes I just want those on as work lights when I'm not in reverse.

It's a bad idea, period. You can stuff some surprisingly tall tires under that sucker without a lift. My 1998 K1500 ran a set or 33s, then two sets of 35s, and is now on its third set of 33s. All on stock suspension. The trick is to get the correct offset and rim width on your wheels. Your...

Yes and yes. No amount of shock replacement or tuning will compensate for the change in center of gravity.

You can use heavy grease on the drill bit to catch and hold the steel shavings when you drill, but if any falls through it may stain the headliner later. Those look like steel rivnuts and I'm pretty sure they are available with a sealed end so that water can't get past the center of the rivnut...

I use multiple bags to distribute the weight and make it easier to pack into nooks and crannies in the back of the truck. Bucket Boss has some rounded bags (probably for air hoses and extension cords) that are perfect for recovery straps and jumper cables, with smaller items stuffed into the...

My Hellas have diffuser lenses, as do the Rigids. If I were doing the Power Wagon today, I would use the Rigids (if budget allows) because they are brighter and draw less power. But I would be very careful about how I mount them so that the beam is where I want it to be. I know Hella has beam...

No pics yet, but I finally wired up the pair of D2 Dually work lights that I installed into the rear bumper of my 08 Tundra. I cut rectangular holes in the steel bumper and flush mounted the lights as level as possible, even adding an extra thickness of gasket under the bottom flange to move...

Use the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion and that will get you into the ballpark.

However many you put it, it won't be enough. I think I have eleven in my truck: driving lights, cornering lights, LED bar, backup/work lights, refrigerator in the cab, refrigerator in the bed, aux power outlets in cab, aux electric engine fan, camper shell lights, underhood lights, alarm.

There are lots of choices out there, but SmittyBilt would not be high on my list. I think the brand is now owned by TAP (Four Wheel Parts) and everything from SmittyBilt seems to be pretty low budget Chinese knockoffs of other products. 4WP is a good operation and their customer service is...

I think that is the case for the 400P, but you can plumb it to a tank IF you wire in a pressure switch. Another advantage of the ARB CKMP12 is that it is fully self-contained with its own on-off switch and pressure switch. I think it has a relief valve (not sure) but I'm putting a relief on...

I have a 400P in one of the trucks and it's slow but just fine for occasional use. I'm putting a small OBA on a Tundra now and I bought an ARB CKMP12 portable single cylinder. I will take it out of the case and hard-mount it in the truck, and will add a small tank as soon as I can find one...
