Well, it was ~mostly~ dark at 0530 when I left for work. Camera was sitting on the driver's side mirror. It's difficult to tell from the photos maybe, but the lightbar illuminates the entire area around the truck, from 9-o-clock to3-o-clock, to daylight. The landing lights have a lot more...

I hope 'dusk' is OK. I go to bed before it's really dark out.

I finally got around to finishing my lightbar. The six HIDs across the front looked good, but the two halogen bulbs in the corner reflectors looked yellow in comparison. I installed the H3 HID conversion and got it wired to the SmartSiren head in the center console. The slider switch in the...

Well if we're going to talk radjo, here's my current set-up. The VHF control head is on top, then the remote for the spotlight, then the SmartSiren control head, and finally the UHF control head. The VHF body is under the driver's seat on shock-mounts, the SS body is inside the console, and...

You've been having an exciting month with tires. Why are you selling your ambulance/storage unit?

I like flares myself, like a stack of two or three of them. There's something about red hot burning stuff that seems to deter people. ;)

Yes, they unscrew with a torx bit, I forget which size though. Mark the location or just pay attention to the marks on the paint when you reinstall. I put the pin head-down on the concrete floor, put the bushing on, positioned a 14mm deep socket on top of the bushing, then tapped it on using a...

I installed the plastic bushings on the door strikers, now my doors close with just a push. I was needing to slam them so hard I was worried the window might shatter. I was about to call a body shop to get them aligned but dang if they didn't look like they were aligned just fine to me. Some...

Why do I bid on this stuff? http://www.publicsurplus.com/sms/auction/view?auc=1377649 There better be a good power supply in there.....

It was the first thing I did.

I don't know, mine is an '86 and it had two of those crappy relays under the dash, one burned up and the other waiting to screw me the first chance it got.

^^^ I have similar experiences only without the fluid ever returning. Once every other month or so I'll pop the top off the master cylinder and it'll be a half inch low. I keep a bottle of fluid tucked down next to the coolant overflow tank for refilling. I've never figured out where it's...

I got the GoLight from GimpyRobb installed on the right side antenna riser. That spot was reserved for the UHF amateur antenna, but I decided to go with a dual-band antenna on the left side instead. The first problem with the install is that the light mount has a 4" bolt circle, while the...

The filter in the first picture doesn't look to be latched down at either end- no wonder it was leaking.

I thought I would post this in the radiator thread but I can't figure out the search function today. So anyhow, Advance Auto Parts has a 35% discount coupon code that should work on most parts, it looks like tools and oils are excluded. CODE MISSUA5

Montezuma Crossover- I have both top and bottom chests. It's small but it holds a lot of tools and keeps my most-used ones handy. Looks like this:

The M1009 sat patiently while I took care of one of the other vehicles in the motor pool. Changed the oil and filter on the wife's Liberty and then got to swapping out the wheels on my toolbox. It seems they spared at least one expense on this toolbox and it's the wheels. They started...

Made another trip into the Oly National forest for our tree. Found a good one too. I drove the '09 this time, even brought the tires chains, but the snow melted off. 117,000 miles and still going strong.

For $5 you can get a Christmas tree tag from the NFS, so every year we head up to the forest and cut a very plain looking tree. No tree that was farmed to look like a cone for us, just a small tree with some character. Since I have over a week of use-or-lose leave saved up I took today...

I started mine. I haven’t driven it in over a week and it was 28⁰ outside. Cycled the GPs a few times, tap-danced on the throttle, and it fired right off.
