    This is why we need REAR fog lamps

    I have used mine quite a bit over the years. It's been about 5-6 years since I installed mine on my Dodge 2500, and I've had a couple of comments from other drivers about how they think it's a good idea. I got rear ended by a kid on his cell phone, and the guys at the body shop had no clue what...

    2017 Rav4 questions

    UPDATE!! I bought a new style Northwoods Performance light bar for my 4th Gen Rav4. ( I actually got it on sale too!) Before that, I had relegated myself to not being able to use my TS4000s, and installed a pair of Hella pod lights, which are sold as a "spot" beam. (Not so much a spot beam as a...

    2017 Rav4 questions

    Update! Sadly, after a bunch of investigation and weighing my options, it appears mounting my TS4000s ain't gonna be a happenin' thing. At least on the front. Even up on my cargo rack I just installed, that's not going to really work out either. \ So, with reluctance it looks like I am...

    2017 Rav4 questions

    After reading some input on Rav4 forums, apparently a bull bar setup is not optimum, as there are a whole bunch of sensors, and radar devices up front, and a bull bar really fouls them up. Plus with a bull bar (or a more elaborate aftermarket front bumper) any impact at all could feasibly make...

    2017 Rav4 questions

    I recently bought a 2017 Toyota Rav4. I want to add a few things, such as a cargo rack up above, some A/T tires, and several HAM radios. And........as expected.........some additional candle power. I have a. 2003 Dodge 2500 that sees a whole bunch of night driving in the desert in rural...

    There aught to be a law!

    As a retired county deputy, who wrote a goodly amount of citations (including vehicle equipment violations), based on my personal dealings with the public, one of the significant reasons more people drive around with their high-beams on, is simply because they have no idea what they are, what...

    There aught to be a law!

    I live in the treasure valley in Idaho. Our state laws do address headlight height (and technically the lack thereof!). If a state was to create a defined min/max for headlights, somehow there would have to be an exemption for special applications, such as pickups with snow plows. Since plows...

    Name that headlight

    It sure looks like a Jeep cab-over, or FC series from the late 50s, The US military tested a whole bunch of variations of that platform. The picture also shows an early style M-series tail light, so.......... The design on the glass lens is new to me, and as a military vehicle collector, that...

    JW Speaker TS4000 repair.

    I found a picture, and gimmie a break, this is the first time in my pathetic life I was able to load anything. I don't know why there are two of the same shot. If you look closely, you can see two screws in the upper left corner of the circuit board and barely see an orange seal in between the...

    JW Speaker TS4000 repair.

    Sadly, no. (And even if I had saved any, I have absolutely zero luck posting pictures on any forum I frequent.) I will say the guts in those are extremely well built.

    JW Speaker TS4000 repair.

    No luck at the electronic/electrical supply house. I made a tiny piece to hold the broken terminal in. Soldered back together and IT WORKS!!!!

    JW Speaker TS4000 repair.

    Hello gents, it has been a year or two since I last posted. I started on CP forums due to my USGI military searchlight a decade ago. (It is still sitting in my driveway, but I digress.......) Anyway, a handful of years ago I bought a pair of JW Speaker TS4000s. At that time I think they were...
