    Dealer stripped left side front sway bar bolt

    I’m having the same issue. Top bolts on both the passenger and driver side KDSS have stripped the welded nut. I’m going to try to tap with the same size thread (M12, not sure if 1.25 or what size. Anyone know?) If that fails, thoughts on either drilling out and using my own M12 nut stacked on...

    Tire “look” on narrow vs wider wheel

    I've heard the 7.5" width is the minimum you want to go on 285/70's. I am getting mine mounted and balanced on my stock trail rims this week, can post pictures when done.

    Fog Light Dimmer Exerience?

    Good info, thanks Electroboy, thanks! IMO: If you have to start a sentence with "All due respect" or "no offense", probably best unsaid. This is a hobby truck for me and I feel most comfortable with electrical projects, so that's what I play with. But point taken on some of the mods are...

    Setting Up Removable On-Board Air - Suggestions and Help

    I have an ARB compressor in my engine bay and installed an electronic valve to shunt air to this rear chuck when I activate the compressor with the switch displayed versus the switch on my dash (that one only turns on the air compressor). I use it for SUP and Mountain Bike Tires. Too low...

    Magnuson Supercharger 2K Mile Review and 6K Mile Review

    Additional updates? I have the money set aside for a S/C and am debating URD versus Magnuson. Wanting it more for keeping in 5th gear as much as possible while on I-70 in Colorado and going up into the mountains at +70MPH. I really appreciate your detailed write up. Any issues since you last...

    URD 5th Gen Supercharger Thread

    More updates? Any more updates? Especially with the 4th gear issue? I am debating Magnuson versus URD and would love to hear more. My local shop is pushing Magnuson. I'm looking for a S/C to help me when driving on I-70 in Colorado up the mountains and keeping in 5th gear and doing +70MPH.

    Good or bad review?

    I loved it. Like he says, he's working it and beating on it. The reviews that are an equivalent of a test drive that I could do myself at a dealership are useless. It's an awesome video.

    OEM bottle jack vs Pittsburgh 8ton

    I know it's an old thread, but some great conversations about what spares/tools to carry. I've been thinking about that recently too for my offroad adventures (which is different than daily driving). The factors I consider for deciding what I want to be able to fix (ie: the tools and parts I...

    How to load Kayak?

    I've used J-Hooks and I think they are the best for long distance transport of your kayak, based off of how it's cradled (think 4+ hour trips). That being said, I've had to carry six kayaks for some whitewater laps in Colorado, so a friend and I built this custom rack that sits on my Gobi. The...

    What tools, sockets do you carry..

    Survey of Socket/Wrench Sizes I looked at Okki's and mrblah's list and then did a quick overview of my vehicle. mrblah listed a 9mm, where did you use that? I couldn't find any bolts needing it. I have some 8mm on accessories. 17mm is def needed for sway bars (kdss) and body mounts 14mm (and...

    Fog Light Dimmer Exerience?

    I have not yet been flashed running them at 20% at night. Next test will be running them at 50% at night. I am fairly confident I will get flashed at 100% and would prefer to avoid the ticket!! Since the Skene is Programmable, I'll experiment to find out what levels work best for the three...
