    Do 30W USBC phone chargers kill Alternators?

    If what you have plugged in to the charge port is too much for it, It would blow the fuse. So a good rule of thumb would be, if the fuse isn't blown, you are good to go.

    P0420- its time

    My p0420 didn't go away after a front 02, rear 02, then front cat, then rear cat finally did it. Both magnaflows, the rear one being a 50 state weld in. What a pain in the ass.

    Toya's T4R ('99 Limited)

    Best of luck to you. We have had ours for about 5 years, 60k miles, and camped, 4wheeled, and explored about 10 states. Great vehicles.

    Rock Slider opinion

    I welded my homemade sliders on, never even considered bolt on. Never regretted it either. I have landed on them hard enough several times to make my wife scream at me Haha. Nice big dents in the 1.75 dom. No damage to the truck. If they are tight to the body consider clearencing the pinch...

    4:88s or 5:29s

    Tire size is an important factor here. I am leaning heavily towards 5.29. 4.88 is such a small difference over 4.30. Remember your new tire/wheel package also weighs more, so a ratio calculator is not the whole story

    Best budget driving lamps?

    Honestly the first thing you should do, as others have said is make sure your headlights as usefully as bright as possible. As for auxiliary lights, there are three basic kinds of "lenses" or types. Flood- wide pattern, shoots light pretty much everywhere, so it doesn't go far, but lights...

    First time welding

    Been welding for work and fun for almost 20 years. Practice, practice, practice. Trust the settings on the inside of the door, once you can do great with those, then try your own. A good welder can do good work with cheap equipment. It's a hell of a lot easier with good equipment though...

    Light Bar Install

    It's almost like they designed the front bumper to be perfect for a light bar. They look so good there.

    Transfer case slipping? Need you're help...

    He said it's a '99. If it is a multi mode, the tcase could definitely be damaged in some way to allow it to slip. The AWD can get stupid in all sorts of ways. Mine was putting itself in AWD, even with the shifter in 4low. It caused some embarrassing situations.

    Building my own Roof Rack

    3rd gen sliders

    Regarding sliders hitting limited flares, cut the plastic. If your sliders are hitting the body pinch seam, mark where the legs go directly under the pinch seam, then go about 1/4" out, and cut vertically until you get to the horizontal area. Then pound it flat. My sliders would have beeen...
