dont need sarcastic responses, already searched. asked for PM's. I'm in now. the spare arrived.

I don't have AAA, I did for years on multiple vehicles, and never used it when i went to use it on one of the other vehicles I carried it on they were unable to do anything about the issue and resulting damage etc, so i was kind of irritated about the whole thing so i dropped it. The Mrs...

keys are in the ignition, battery is dead, and doors are locked. it's a totally snafu situation. I don't have access to the spare key either. Someone PM me how to get into my 80 without breaking a window. I don't want to call a locksmith and wait hours for one to show up and pay a bunch of money...

Ah, to answer your questions, I run a ScanGuage2 mounted in the cab to monitor the system. Prior to replacing the radiator, my normal operating temps were 190-198 throughout the year. Reaching the higher end sometimes 202 if outside temps were 110 plus and I was under a load in the hills. I...

So I do not have gaskets to install a new t-stat. It’s the same one that’s been in there since I previously put in the radiator years ago. I’m currently 30 minutes away from home, so removing the water pump in the university parking lot isn’t really an option either. It’s been sitting for about...

Ok, I’ve had my 97 40th triple locked sweetheart since jan of 06, she’s been my daily, I replaced the radiator once before I think 10 years ago. Lately she’s sat because I was going to school from home so there was no need to drive. I started back on campus recently and the radiator went. I...

replacing the radiator in the cruiser, the last Koyo gave up the ghost after 10 years of triple digit summers. I forgot how much of a pain in the rear this thing is to change out when you have dual batteries, bumper with big ass lights and the winch control in front of the grill. I didn't have...

thanks for all the info

Yes, I had thought about that myself but the small size was a deterrent. Currently my water storage is a three can swingout on the rear bumper. I only have two total pax in the vehicle for trips, so I have room where the second row is for more storage.

I've driven both at high rates of speed that were beyond what's considered freeway speeds in Africa both on pavement and off-road. Additionally, I've performed many of the evasive maneuvers that a typical driver may have to face as well as those specialized maneuvers that few will ever...

have you thought about using a Flexi-tank for water storage in the rear RH panel? That is, if you haven't already used the space for something else. Granted it's only 25L but that's a can's worth.

might be helpful if you post a pic of the control unit your wanting to mount. Warn has different types.

So I'm an 80 series guy, but im looking at a 2nd gen Taco, don't know much about them. whats the life expectancy on these things? as far as mileage goes. the 80 series if taken care of, can easily do 500k miles or more, and I'm wondering about the 2nd gen taco's specifically an 08. service wise...

there's always the option depending on the bumper you have to put a lid on the top of the bumper to one side of the winch, keep your controls in there. It's been done on some of the expedition built rigs. I've debated on modifying my ARB to add them to both sides so I can store the winch...

Are these just as bright or brighter than the George's lights?
