I put a link to it in my first post. If you scroll down a bit on the home page, they have some good tutorials. I'm curious to see how my neighbor does coating his wrap. He didn't pay attention to the instructions for the ceramic. Not sure if its going to work. On the other hand, I haven't...

I did the coating myself. Each of my vehicles took three days to complete. I started using it almost two years ago now on my Tacoma and about a year and a half on my Camaro. I'm getting ready to do a second spray coat on my Tacoma and first one on my Camaro. From what I read, the life span of...

I'll have to politely disagree. What brand ceramic did you use, how did you install it, where did you test it and what did you compare it to? I'm not sure what types you personally have tried but all of my vehicles will get this. I did the research and went and tested it. The brush that would...

Yes. That's the reason some companies put deflectors in front of them. The noise is caused from the air moving across an edge. This can also happen with things mounted on sides. When I was dealing with this in the shop, sometimes all it took was moving a slat forward or back a few inch's.

I use the products from Avalon King. I researched ceramic coatings and found there's good ones and poor ones. if you buy a good coating but don't prep it correctly, you waisted your money and time. Their site has a good tutorial section so at least read up on the process.

Pop over to the trailer section and look at some of the DIY stuff. I'm pretty sure I saw someone do something similar. I put a standard RTT on my M-100 and pulled that for years. I think loaded I was almost 1000 pounds. What your looking at will be way less.

Good job repurposing the window motors. It appears you added a gear to the motor's with matching rack's. What I would do diffrent is neatly route the wiring. Encase them in either split loom or a sheathing and tie it down. Box in the bottom of your joy stick switch and possibly run the rack...

Ive been lucky myself. I have on the other hand needed to help other's. Mostly sprains and cactus. The worse being vehicle roll over's and a high speed dirt bike crash. I do on the other hand manage to injure myself at home. The only advice I can ever give is, dont get old. It takes longer to heal.

A few questions. What is your alternators output? beside the vehicle and batteries, what else do you have drawing power? Do you have solar? Alternator damage is primarily from overheating. A general rule is not to exceed 75% of total out put for long periods of time. 90% for an hour is pushing...

Short answer is both are good. The long answer is it depends on how you drive and how your rig is set up. Icon has always rocked for Toyota. I'm sure the shock tune is going to be at least close for all their products. I don't know anyone who runs Elca and actually never heard of of them...

BMW Step program is a very good training program. I know a couple of the instructors out here.

Actually, your wrong. The term came about from insecure keyboard and back yard mechanics on forums. There's two diffrent kinds of techs, good and bad. The industry as a whole puts people into a shop without vetting them. This includes dealers. Regardless of where you spend your money, you...

Their actually not that difficult. Dead controllers are normally a power/ground/connector issue. You can have a shorted comm wire cause weird issues but that depends on how they tie the comm wires. Unfortunately, jeep is one of the few data base's I don't have access to otherwise I would send...

OK As long as your sure. I have diagnosed 100's of ABS systems. I can count on one hand how many actual module failures I've seen. Abuse, internal seal leakage and accident damage don't count. On the other hand, I've seen countless modules replaced unnecessarily. I would second guess the issue...

Idle curiosity but what code did you get initially when you scanned it. Also what code does it have now?

Don't forget the other brother Daryl

This is pretty close to spot on with one exception. The dealer is not the problem, its the manufacture. The dealer has 3 basic sections. sell cars, sell parts, work on cars. The dealer does not control part availability, the manufacture does. If there's no parts, they cant sell parts and believe...

Shocks control how fast the suspension moves. Springs determine payload. If you add in more weight (payload) the shock may not be able to keep up and will overheat. If you want to prove this. measure your ride height then pull off your shocks. The height wont change.

The reason some springs hold up better then others is due to two factors. First is quality and the other is proper spring rate. I'm sure you know this but I'm mentioning it because of something you typed ( I may have misread it). Shocks have nothing to do with ride height (sag). They control the...

Wow, nine whole pages. Totally agree with everything you wrote, especially here. Repeating what I've said a few times this year, the people who bought into the "Fad" are the ones bailing out because it either wasn't what they thought or what they like. So, is it killing itself, no. It is...
