This amperage will be insufficient to actually charge your truck battery. This will only come up once you have enough load to lower the charge in the battery at some point in the future when you really don't want to have problems.... And you'll look to this trickle charger and wonder why you...

The only problem with these is that you only have a 1.25 amp maximum output (guessing the average output is closer to 1.05 amp). That might baaaaaaaaarely trickle your truck, but if you had any actual draw or loss in there, or in the future with alternator age, you'll have to replace that unit...

Just a quick question on your new beast, in the first pic it looks like your hood is way out of alignment. Is that the case in person? The shadow under the panel gap on the passenger side looks like the dealership needs to spend a few minutes straightening that out. She's a beaut and those...

250lbs offroad with the Truxedo still isn't getting you to having the bunkbed tent you want. Obviously you loose a TON of off-road cred with the Tacoma boys and save enough money for worthwhile modifications, but could you just use a regular tent or does it have to be elevated?

This may be a matter of perspective, but I do not see an issue with this. They stood behind their product and are sending out a no-cost replacement. All they required was proof of the failure and that the product wasn't usable (so there is reduced chance of fraud). That the entire planet is...

Yes, you will need control over the brakes in some capacity be them load sensor, g-movement, mechanical coupler at the hitch or electrical controller in the cab. Money will be spent, trailer brakes will be "controlled" (ie: not arbitrarily functioning at will), full load rating will be achieved...

As linked earlier is a great example of not being afraid of the search function. Tons of info and answers on these here forums and plenty of folks asking or wondering the same things as you as they enjoy owning their trucks..

Yes, you need a trailer brake controller on that to meet the max towing rating, and also many states will require one to be in compliance with the vehicle laws of their state (unsure what Texas requires).

The garage received a big upgrade this weekend in having the lighting entirely upgraded including additional 3-way switches and better delineation of the lighting zones between the 2-car and 1-car bays. Previously there were nine single-row-LED lamps without diffuser and a single switch at the...

Thought you would be interested in the garage update, it's a serious upgrade for detailing and shop work.

We went with the PRO and have no complaints. Lots of knife-based attacks on covers and convertibles here in Seattle. The solid nature of this was the winning ticket!

They make covers which incorporate a rail that is exactly what you're looking for. Here's our ranger with RETRAX pro tonneau and bed rails. They are rated to 500lbs and have done very well for us! Great product overall!

Some small updates: 1: New welder and large tank of 75/25 obtained. Now we will get on with the garage shelving project as well as building a welding table from scratch, plus we'll be fabricating anchors for an aluminet shade structure now that spring has sprung and the pool will be getting...

Sweet gender-fluid, 12 lb 4 oz, left handed, bearded baby jesus, 82 lbs for a wheel/tire combo? Slapping 16 extra lbs on each corner (64 lbs of static unsprung weight) is sure to kill the driving fun in a hurry. Sure hope you're doing brake and suspension upgrades along with adding some power...

There are many handy calculators out there to give you user-defined specs so you can "test fit" any size you want and see how far off from stock it ends up being> Will They Fit, wheel fitment calculator

One of the best pick-ups i've ever grabbed was a big bit kit. Snagged the Craftsman set for myself before finding the off-brand kit which is made by the same people. Kit is literally identical except for the color of the blow-molded case and packaging (which isn't worth the extra $10 to me)...

I helped a buddy do that coating (2 coats) a few weekends back on his '06 Forester (the STy version). He's a huge fan of Obsessed Garage and pays for the membership or whatever. That coating is a little tricky to put on over an entire vehicle. And the surface prep took about 6 hours longer than...

Oh boy, another detailing thread where we find out how our detailing is parallel! How are you liking the clay "disc"? I've seen those type products for a while but figured that having any actual RPM behind it would increase the odds of grinding something into the paint beyond what is possible...

One of the best features of that cover is the rails it provides!

Does what make washing a lot easier? Waxing? paint protection film? aftermarket catalyzed coatings? High School car-wash fundraisers?
