    Mice

    The only problem with the baits are the mice die in a place inaccessible to get to and the smell of rotting mice is worse. I have managed to keep them out with foil tape like used for duct work. My Toyota FJ was the worse for mice. I took it apart and found the avenues, used the foil tape, and...

    Aircraft landing gear lights on a m1008

    8ga is rated about 70-75 amps. You could run a pair off of 8ga depending on what your relay is rated at. 4ga is rated about 130-140. Bosch makes a 75 amp relay. I've use them often. They are a twelve volt trigger, but you can do 24 through the feed in and out to the lights. They may offer it in...

    Aircraft landing gear lights on a m1008

    Thats what I came up with. 144 amps for 4 of them. If he runs them on the same wire I wouldn't use less than 8ga wire. Fuse within 18 inches of the battery. What is the alternator rated for on those trucks, versus current draw for everything else plus how long your gonna run em.

    Aircraft landing gear lights on a m1008

    I don't have any ideas for you on location, however the current draw on your electrical system will be heavy. Make sure it'll handle the load or may find yourself sitting on the trail in the dark. And fuse them correctly, or the light you do see could be from the flames. Dave

    M1082 trailer

    Yeh, it's a little too tall for that. I bought it for looks and to complete the truck better. If I had to I could load it with our loader, but have other trailers for hauling.

    Best truck for toy hauler

    You may get close to a wife comfy ride with an LMTV. they have air ride cabs, can add air, change the diff's to MRAP's for 70+ mph, insulate the cab, change the seats, up the hp a bit and add an entertainment system. That MAY suffice for a trip type ride. Mine is more comfy than others I have...
