  How to Prepare an Emergency Response Vehicle

  June 15th, 2015 by admin

  During recent record rainfall throughout the Southern U.S. – namely Texas and Oklahoma – floodwaters and tornadoes laid waste to hundreds of homes and caused tens of millions of dollars in infrastructure damage. As climate change continues its ominous march, scientists warn that natural disasters throughout the world are likely to become increasingly more intense (source: NASA). There is a silver lining to this storm cloud, however: as 4×4 truck, Jeep and SUV owners, we have a unique opportunity to help our communities if disaster ever does strike. Here’s how you can make a difference: Read more

  Video: Greg Installing a Dynatrac Free Spin Kit

  September 27th, 2011 by admin

  After postponing this installation for a few years now, I finally buckled and picked up the Dynatrac Free Spin Kit. Following my “do it once, do it right” policy, I opted for the upgraded DynaLoc hubs and ProSteer billet ball joints. Pin it to win it, right?

  Marcos Installs a Bug Deflector

  June 30th, 2011 by admin

  I recently installed a Wade Hood Bug Guard. I’ve seen this part on 4WheelParts.com but other brands, such as AVS (Auto Vent Shade), which are also available. This Manufacture offers their Bugflector II (full height and wrap) and Regular Bugflector (traditional hood width design, non wrap) Both come in smoke; However chrome is available, not my preference.

  Ridetech Front Air Suspension for 2009 Dodge Ram 1500

  June 3rd, 2011 by admin

  I finally got the front air suspension, so I can complete my truck. I decided to go with a ShockWave with a single-stage adjustment. The bag allows a total of -5 drop and improves handling. The ShockWave design is a bag with a shock going through the center, and it allows for adjustment in shock firmness. The installation is pretty straightforward, with minor cutting to allow for extra clearance. The minor cutting can be done with a simple hand grinder.

  Installing a Lower Bumper Guard

  December 30th, 2010 by admin

  A front grille guard isn’t complete without the lower bumper guard, and maintaining it is the same. Here is the good part: there is no cutting needed! It is designed to fit directly in the open space. The grille has tabs and bolts for you to fasten on the plastic lower portion of the bumper. There was some drilling but, because it is plastic, it should be a breeze to make the holes. The rest is like slipping on a glove and fastening it.

  James Installs a VIAIR Kit and a Firestone Gauge on His Dodge Ram

  December 28th, 2010 by admin

  I finished installing my new rear suspension, but, like any air bag, you need to have a compressor, tank, switch, and gauge setup to control the height of the vehicle. After hours of reading and pricing, I decided to go with a VIAIR kit with a Firestone gauge and switch panel.

  More Power for the F-150 Pre-Runner

  December 21st, 2010 by admin

  I’m running 37-inch BFG tires on my 2003 Ford F-150 Pre-Runner. I upgraded to 4.88 G2 ring and pinion gears in the differentials to give the 5.4 liter engine and the transmission some relief. Unfortunately, the larger tires threw off the speedometer, so I needed to fix that.

  Installing a RideTech Lowering Kit on a 2009 Dodge Ram

  November 16th, 2010 by admin

  After a couple months of riding on my Ground Force lowering kit, like every guy’s mentality I just had to keep going…lower. In order for me to get the look I wanted, I would have to go with a company that manufactures what I feel are the BEST quality air bags in today’s industry: RideTech. I talked to Tony over at RideTech and with great enthusiasm they shipped me one of their production rear 2009+ Dodge Ram kits, which includes custom bags that are designed with a taper so the bag doesn’t get hung up or blow out when I run lower pressure for truck shows or parking. New heavy-duty sway bar links correct the angle, allowing the sway bar to function properly. The kit includes a pair of high-quality, smooth-riding shocks and any hardware needed to install the parts.

  Chuck Installs Genesis Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover on His F-150

  November 12th, 2010 by admin

  I wanted to put a tonneau cover on my truck but didn’t want to go with a really expensive fiberglass one. I really wanted something I could take off pretty easily and wouldn’t take up a lot of room in my garage. The fiberglass tonneau covers look cool but they are really heavy.

  Lund International makes a tonneau that fits my needs. They have a Genesis Tri-Fold tonneau cover that works perfectly. No tools are needed at all, making this a quick and easy install. It hooks up underneath your bedrail via clamps. The cover folds over twice, which makes your bed still useful.
