I run a pair of 12v 100w landing lights on front. They work really well and I'm pretty happy with them. Given that they're designed for the purpose of lighting up the runway from altitude, they have a fairly narrow focus, but WAY bright. I have run them for fairly long periods of time and...

The flasher unit is under the dash tucked way down below, and yes a replacement EP27 will work for you. I went LEDs in the rear of my 98 and (obviously) had the fast flash that comes with LEDs. Pop in the new electronic flasher and it works. The new one didn't look any different than the old...

Seems obvious doesnt' it!! Actually I just got the package in the mail tonight but the guy I bought it from didn't send any instructions. I was hoping someone might have something they could email so I could go over it all beforehand. RK will be my first call in the morning, but I'm a little...

Does anyone have an installation manual for installing the Rockkrawler long arms that they can email me? Thanks. -kelly

5-90, I totally appreciate your input. They are grommet mount units, and I'm sure I could cut out to just about anything to suit people going for their own set of lights. I'll try to take a few pics of what I did for connections and the back side of the lights to see what you think. I'm not...

Thanks for the feedback. To address some of the questions: ABS-sorry for the confusion. They're all steel construction, the piece of 1.25" ABS pipe happened to be about the radius I needed to bend the steel around to form the one corner to the curve of the tailgate. The projector fogs are...

So seriously, if I were to get these together in the USD$250-275 range with LEDs, would I be wasting my time? How many would actually be willing to pony up? I'm going to see if I can come up with something similar for the pre 96s too. -kel

As far as legality, the 3x5s are legal. They were designed as a 3 wire stop/turn/park system. I've just got them hooked up as stop/park light. I haven't checked the yellow turn signal lights yet. I originally had a single LED 2.5" round in there, but it was way too dim. The 13 LED version...

Yah some guys do go to the trouble with the resisor trick. If you want to do it right, that involves cutting and splicing and soldering and heatshrinking under the dash, trying not to melt your carpet or your fingers, or drip solder in your eye. And I've heard stories of guys melting half the...

Thanks guys. Yah, I'm not a "ooooh look at my cool new mod" kinda guy either, but I'm all for sharing something that worked out well for me with others. Power to the people and all that crap. If I set myself up with a couple of jigs, maybe I could put a few together for others for a decent...

Thanks! Believe it or not, I just grabbed a piece of 1.5" or 1.25" ABS (can't remember which) and rolled it cold by hand around that until it matched the curve of the tailgate. Came out just about perfect. The sides I just flexed by hand to get it to follow the body contours. The 1/16"x4"...

:) :)

So I'm wheeling in the woods and somehow end up slashing a tire, but that's a different story. I also happened to bust out a tail light. Knowing what my local dealership is like, I didn't even bother going for a price, but got to work designing my own variant of the steel/LED version. I've...

I was getting the dreaded hissing sound from the rear ARB and finally got the cover popped off. Somehow the copper line managed to find it's way too close to the ring gear and got shredded. So what do you do? Can you heat up the brazing and replace the copper line or do you have to squeeze in...

The first carrier that let go was a used one which I swapped into my 98 for gear ratio reasons. It was fine for about 2 years until it blew apart (many many little pieces) when I was digging down through snow and then caught the solid ground below. At least that's what I think happened, as I...
