    Whats your favorite headlight?

    Those truck Trucklite's are awesome! Have them in my 2 1009's, 1008 and 1078. Bright, durable and they look mean.

    Wheel Covers / Rim Protectors

    The bolts are hollow and do thread over the existing bolts. That is why I suggest using a tap and die to clean up all the treads. I have not noticed any balance issues. I'll be doing a 45 mile run on Friday and I will report back. They are made of 12 or 10 gauge steel. I did not weigh them...

    Wheel Covers / Rim Protectors

    Thanks for the compliment Mkcoen! I got my girl in Georgia with 7200 miles on her and shes a 97. I'm very happy with her. I'll try to do the write up on Monday in the AM. It was not a straight bolt on like I was hoping but it went smoothly overall. Nothing a wheel grinder can't fix!

    FMTV Rotating Amber Beacon

    Working on getting a beacon kit right now. TM's say the port in the back of the cab is a J62 connector. Google has turned up NOTHING so far as to where I can get spares or anything. Not done looking yet.
