    Renew your wheels dirt cheap. Cheaper than dirt.

    Not sure if it works on chrome, probably not I think. Does not hurt tires or brakes.

    Renew your wheels dirt cheap. Cheaper than dirt.

    I used a brush-on style. Looks like Jello coming out of the container. Definitely a great way to clean up really old wheels. Even better if you have the older "4x4" scribed editions. :)

    Dual beam headlight harness now available at LMC!

    ;) Duly noted. Last comment, two years I've been running these lights. Never once been flashed by oncoming traffic or police officers on a two lane highway. If they were as offensive as y'all say, to where it makes you concerned about your wife and kids, I think someone would have said...

    Dual beam headlight harness now available at LMC!

    Wow. My thery're not that blinding. I've driven in front of my truck before -_- If someone loses control because of something so silly they should have been paying more attention. Plain and simple. To crash because of someone's modified lowbeams you would have to be drunk. The housing still aim...

    I'm aware that 6000k puts out more light than 30000k.. this isn't my first rodeo ;) I just like the color green. I modified 9005 to fit in the lowbeams on purpose, silly. As for aiming them down.. No. People in front of me can move if they don't like it. Retaliation is 1/2 the reason I got the...

    can't remove my bed

    Awesome penetrating oil tip^^! Here's my two cents... and I just did this about two weeks ago. If you have severe rust.. do this. Buy a 1/2" breaker bar from local tool store. (Non wratcheting is the strongest) Buy a good one, or two cheap ones. Put your socket in place. Beat the f*** out of it...

    Tutorial: 3" Body Lift

    Here's my two cents on a 3" body lift of any brand. WELD in the re-inforcement blocks for the bed. You MUST use a steering extension. REPLACE body bushing when installing a lift. The bed DOES lose it loading capacity. Reason for this is if something heavy in the bed slides during a turn...

    Not at LMC. I use 6000k white 35W HID lowbeams and 30000k green 35W highbeams. They only do 4hi when I turn on the brights. I use 9005 bulbs in all 4 sockets though, so people in front of me don't really like it much. I love it though, and wouldn't have it any other way. Soon I'll be using...

    ***Your HID Questions Answered Here.***

    I would like to say.. deter from slim kits if at all possible. It is a fact that they do indeed run hotter, due to less insulation in the circuitry they are more "delicate". Slim is not the new style, there is a reason that they still produce "fat" ballasts. ;)

    Brake Warning light stays on!

    Lastly, the brake light indicator is also a trouble code for some other items in the truck. For example, if its flashing, a certian number of flashes means your speedo is not working. The STOP fuse resets anything pertaining to this sequence.

    Ebay Headers Question

    Cold blooded... I have a new radiator, thermostat, coolant, fan clutch, rad cap, and coolant bottle. My engine takes about 15-20 minutes to come up to operating temp. (195-205*) Once there, it cycles between 200 at idle, and 160 while driving. Not sure what the cause for this is, but I gave up...

    1990 Short base 4WD cab mount bushings replacement - help

    Noted, thank you. Great advice everyone. I'll be starting on this today. Do you think I have to take the cab completely off the truck?? Or can I just lift it up?

    1990 Short base 4WD cab mount bushings replacement - help

    I understand what your saying. My mount has PASSED THROUGH the steel. I can bench press my cabin 1.5 inches.. I don't have too much money, so I may just go to home depot and buy some steel, weld that in and call it done.

    Ebay Headers Question

    Do you have a check engine light on? About the possibility of o2 sensor relocation.. probably a good idea to buy a new o2 sensor if you have a 1 wire style. They're only about 20 bucks wherever you go to buy one. Depending on what brand headers you buy, the new o2 hole could be like 1-2 inches...

    Engine Oil Cooler Upgrade: Add 2 quarts! (SAS guys you'll want to see this)

    Here's a funny question. How long do you have NO oil pressure after starting your engine every oil change with all this setup?? 4 Seconds at least I imagine. Something to remember; after every oil change, unplug your coil wire, and crank your engine for a good 15 seconds... This will put oil...
