Daily truck pics
I'll try that. Ironically I grabbed the Loctite FROM my gun box. I left it in there after I mounted a red dot.- vaquero

Daily truck pics
That is the one. They were running a special until New Years, free shipping, so I snagged one. As far as the reception drop... That is to be determined. I made a mistake of putting some blue Loctite on the threads thinking it wouldn't make much difference. Doh! Now I need too remove it and see...- vaquero

Daily truck pics
Installed the LG Billet shorty antenna today, in cerakote black. Really like how it looks; I'm not a fan of the .50 cal bullet antennas, So this was a nice alternative.- vaquero

BFG KO2 or Wildpeak AT/3W
I think you'll be very happy with the Falkens. I've been running them for a year now and bought them specifically for their performance in wet weather (I live on the Oregon coast, where average precipitation in December alone is 12 inches). They've done great and minimal wear.- vaquero

Still have it, still debating on whether to continue driving it daily or not! 232xxx miles on original motor, and running like a top.- vaquero

Engine recommendation
Will these work with any of the TBI 350 years, and are other upgrades needed to support these heads? Just wondering.- vaquero

Who has tried LED head lights
Well, I had a discount available and found the Auxbeam S1's on sale for $22.95, so I pulled the trigger. I'll install them and if they don't work well in the rain, I'll go with halogens. I have a set of Baja Designs amber DOT approved fog lights that really do well in the fog/rain, and so I...- vaquero

Who has tried LED head lights
This was about a year ago, so my question is - did you go back to halogens, or did you stick with the Auxbeam LEDs? My Anzo housings are coming in soon, and I need to figure out what I'm going to put in them. The only doubt I have about LEDs are their performance in the rain - I live on the...- vaquero

Who has tried LED head lights
That's what I've noticed when I am driving and oncoming traffic has LEDs or HIDs, my halogen lights no longer show anything in front of me! Freaking annoying. I have ANZO housings on the way, and I'm still undecided on if I want to switch to 9012/9011 bulbs or go with LEDs.- vaquero

The Member Truck Thread
It was $600 for under the rail, the normal Line-X (not the more expensive one w/ UV protection). $2k sounds way off!- vaquero

The Member Truck Thread
Still got it. It's been painted (need to wash it, it's dirty in this pic!), bed has been Line-X'ed, and took the camper off and put on a tonneau. Ready for another rainy Oregon coast winter!- vaquero

Mud flaps; Which ones do you use?
I'm still up in the air on mudflaps. I HATE the idea of my rockers/behind the wheels getting dinged up and dirty. Mudflaps would really cut down on the rocks and mud that are kicked up. At the same time, I don't want to invite rust issues in the future. Hard choice!!!- vaquero

Mud flaps; Which ones do you use?
I have heard a lot of horror stories about salt and rusting out the areas under mud flaps and running boards. They don't use salt on the roads here in Oregon, which is a good thing.- vaquero

Eye Candy
How do you feel about those leaf springs you bought? I probably need to replace mine, they are the originals and don't have much spring left in them lol. Any reason you went with autoandtrucksprings.com over another company?- vaquero

Mud flaps; Which ones do you use?
At the moment I am having my truck painted, and while that is happening I am already thinking about how I'm going to preserve the new paint job. In both the front and the back I always get a lot of roadspray, tar, dirt and muck that is kicked up. Cleaning up behind the wheels is always tough. So...- vaquero
