Howdy fellas, I am looking for some "quick and easy" NRS roof rack brackets, I attached a photo at the bottom. I am currently running an old sears rack with the strap tie downs and well... It fell off on I5 once. It seems as if I have to tighten them every time I drive. Would love to get the old...

Fuses are all good, sending units are not known to be good, but each sender is getting 12v at the actual sending unit. And getting 12 volts at each gauge And i followed the wiring diagram so they should be wired right.

Howdy all, first post here on the thread, I finally need help. I have a 1973 Fj40, was a frame off. So when it was rewired was rewired with a quick wire kit. My issue is my gauges are all wired, each gauge is getting power in, and each sending unit has power at the sending unit, however none of...
