    How-to Sealed beam to h4 headlight conversion

    ive heard the autopal set from ebay is just as well as hella's, all the cherokee guys rave about them, but i wouldnt run them. Only got experience with hellas. After a quick look around the web everyone seems to agree the hellas are just as well as the cibies but cheaper, and the hellas have...

    How-to Sealed beam to h4 headlight conversion

    i got to disagree on the hella high beam hot spot, with the e-codes and low beams adjusted correctly im very comfortable with where my high beam is sitting, not up in the trees at all. I suppose alot of variables will come into that though such as how tall your vehicle sits/ how far your...

    How-to Sealed beam to h4 headlight conversion

    hey highdesert, thanks for your reply, Yeah the hellas are very nice but also 100 dollars, where as the auto pals from ebay are 25 dollars, and I hear the autopals from ebay are alright in quality. It really comes down to a matter of budget I suppose :)

I've done this conversion on a jeep cherokee as well as my gmc van and it should work for all sealed beam vehicles with the components I list. The purpose of this whole...

    4x4

    My interpretation of your ram 5500 stopping better on slick roads is that 4x4 94-01 rams came with a solid axle in the front regardless of weight capacity (1500,2500,etc) and the next generation up 01-?? everything above the 1500 line came with a solid front axle, which of course adds quite a...

    Kohler, Wisconsin Walmart

    Just figured I would drop a line to fellow dwellers that the Walmart in Kohler Wisconsin allows parking overnight in the farthest lot straight infront of the door. My fiance and I stayed for a night and were welcomed back for another. Was relatively quiet, and we stayed until 10am with no...

    What is this material on my roof?

    It is the camper world equivalence of roofing tar like for homes, your gonna want to scrap it up and then reseal it with a product like sikaflex 715 roof sealant or an equal product, If you feel like it needs to be done at all.

    Trying to understand my options with wheels and rims

    All that is required to rotate your tires is unbolting them and swapping them in an "x" pattern, all you would need is a set of jack stands, a lug wrench, and a jack. I believe walmart charges $20 to rotate all 4 of your tires for you if doing it yourself is no option. $80 dollars per tire would...
