This past weekend I dropped the transmission pan and changed the transmission filter. Someone PMd me that the delayed transmission engagement could be a bad o-ring on the transmission filter pick-up tube. The o-ring was intact, but hard. I replaced that o-ring and it appears to have solved the...

But looking at pasts posts, I didn't see responses about adding a grounding harness. Have you done that?
How about continuity checking the glow plug wires from the control box to each glow...
Installed a couple of cheap LED off-road light (http://amzn.to/2mnhpGn) on the mirror brackets, side facing.
The Solargizer panel worked well enough that I also formalized it's installation. :)
And I created a running list of all DIY upgrades and modifications to ...
SHOT is a friggin' zoo. I had a team of 6 there this year covering range events and the show floor. It was exhausting!
Thanks. I just bought a bunch of used, but serviceable soft tops, rear curtains and cargo covers yesterday, so I'm good on that part. However, maybe I'll reach out to Breton...
Haven't been updating the progress on the Project Humvee Battlewagon like I should... Got busy getting ready for SHOT Show, then the crush post SHOT follow-up. Lining up a bunch of upgrade project reviews with companies we met at SHOT.

Our LED headlights...
Right. He list the 07392 as "headlights"... and they aren't. They are flood lights. It is not safe to use flood lights as headlights since they have no cut line and blind oncoming traffic.
But the Maxximas are $200 per light (http://amzn.to/2h91nxE)... so about 4x the cost. Not everyone can justify $400 for lights when $120 will get you similar performance.
I am anxious to see how they last as well. Nothing to make me nervous so far. I looked at several of the more expensive brands and really don't like that they don't officially sell to civilians. Anything you can get is grey market and totally unsupported by the manufacturer. I figure that with...
Howdy gang! I'm pretty pumped at finding these. Been using a set of Trucklite 07392 for a month. BRIGHT lights, but the fleabay seller said they were headlights... turns out they are single beam FLOOD lights from the lighting kits for bigger trucks. He removed them from the mounts and sold them...
I hear ya. 2 weeks ago we had a steady drizzle all day... enough that it washed dirt and sand into the drain holes and clogged them. Had a half inch of water on the driver's side.
I've made a fair amount of outdoor gear using a "thread injector" (if making a dress the same machine would be called a "sewing machine").
I didn't see anyone mention that you really need to use heavy duty polyester thread. Even better if you can find one that is UV treated. Typical cotton or...
Thanks. It does. I'll see if this is enough info for them, or if I have to actually measure it. :)
BTW, one concern the brand guy mentioned to me was that bedliner will still off-gas toxic stuff long after it is cured when exposed to heat. I initially thought I would do sound deadening first...
What is the interior surface area of the 998/1038 trucks?
An upcoming review on Gear Report will be application of a sound control and ceramic insulation coatings on the entire interior. The manufacturer asked "Please measure the application area we want to completely encapsulate the entire...
