How far of a road trip are we talking?

$200 Located in Orange County, CA Low profile winch bumper from C4 Fab. Second owner. Perfect functional shape. I’ve gone up to a full bumper so this is no longer needed. Includes 2 48w LED floods and a removable license plate holder.

Reviving an old thread once again. 2004 Limited V8 awd. After a trip to the Grand Canyon, I noticed my center differential actuator breather tube hanging from the truck. It’s still attached on the actuator end, but just dangling on the other. Where does this exactly plug back onto? Is there...

I had a similar problem in the middle of my 8 day trip through the Arizona Strip a couple months back. The door would pull in, then release. I needed to strap the tailgate closed and drove all day like that. (The banging drove me nuts and my sleeping platform was covered in dust). We did a...

Subscribing to this. I’d love to hear some advice on cell boosters as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Marc, thanks again for putting this whole trip together. You’re right - great group of guys on an unforgettable trip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just took the hitch off my 2004 V8. If anybody in the Southern California area would like it, I’m giving it away. Located in Huntington Beach. It’s in good shape, but it has some scrapes. You’ll need all new hardware though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Still have this? Where in OC are you? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I remember correctly, there’s just an inexpensive trim piece that needs to go under the housing. Do a search for the headlight swap and you’ll find a really good write up that lists the part number. After that, you’ll be left with a small gap between that trim piece and your grill that isn’t...

Could be the servo for your footwell vents going. It’s a common problem in the 4th gens. Give a search for that and you’ll find some threads on the issue and how to repair it. Luckily, driver’s side is easy; passenger’s, not so much. My symptom was a “whirring/clicking” noise as the servo tried...

Nope, you’re good. And pro tip: cut a small piece of wood to cover the rack when the bike is off - it makes a great camp table! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup. I sold mine years ago but if I remember correctly, you can’t open the tailgate with it in the up position (bike or no bike) but you definitely can when it’s down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you’re more nervous about going back down, (or either direction really) you can go up or down the back way. It’s true off-roading but not terribly technical. Maybe one or 2 small rock step sections. It eventually leads to Saline rd in Lee Flats and then to the 190 above Panamint Valley. Fun...

It’s held on with plugs. Pull the bottom away from the tailgate and then work your way around the sides. Then lift it out of the window channel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Check Crutchfield.com. They’re really good about adding on the correct accessories. If you already own a head unit, you might need to load your vehicle and put a head unit in your cart for them to suggest the correct harness. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
