    Thanks for the reply! I doubt it only because I've even tested it directly to a 9 volt battery as well and it seemed to work fine. I guess I'll just try another type of led and use amber halogen's for now.

    Head gasket blew so the build's been put on hold for a little bit as I wasn't quite ready for the 3.4 swap. Was hoping I had another year or two to save, so I'm looking into a few options and I'll more than likely either rebuild my current motor or pick up another 3.0 just to get it running for...

    And the last thing I've been working on lately is wiring up my rear speakers. Holy crap did that turn into a little bit more of a project than I was expecting lol! I had an amp laying around that I decided to power all 4 speakers with so might as well pull the carpet right? There was all kinds...

    We picked up some metal on a whim while we were passing by IMS one day, then the build process finally came along the day before I flew out to Michigan to celebrate my grandma's 90th birthday. Wasn't sure if we would finish it in a day, but all the measuring and design plans from ahead of time...

    Wow time flies! The last few weeks have been so much go, go, go that I don't feel like I've even had a chance to take a breath haha Let's see... so back to the overland rack. I was originally thinking something along the lines of a design that allowed both a shovel and an axe on one side. After...

    Steel rims

    Cragar has soft 8's that're pretty affordable through Summit Racing. I think they have the d style too like the picture you posted. If you're just looking for a simple black wheel but aren't set on keeping it steel, American Racing has the AR923 and AR172 that're pretty popular styles in alloy...

    Picked up my 48" Hi Lift the other day and rummaged through some old boxes for some hardware. Came across some grade 8 stuff and trick tabs so looks like I've already got a few things to get going on the bed rack build for the rtt to come. I was toying with a few different designs and wasn't...

    Yeah I can't deny the 3.0's a turd for sure! I drive pretty slow anyways so I'm not too concerned for now since I'm planning on a 3.4 whenever the head gasket decides to go. Definitely ambitious and I'm sure a couple things will remain on the list for some time, but goals are goals for a...

    1990 Toyota Pickup Prelander

    The truck started smoking whenever I'd shut it off and I traced it down to a bad valve cover gasket. That was fun. If you know, you know. So that was fixed and then it was back to more goodies. Just within the last week I've ordered up some stereo stuff and made some speaker panels for the rear...

    Hey all! New to Expedition Portal but I find myself wandering over here more and more lately as I seem to be switching from fast desert style offroading to more of an expedition / overland style of offroading. I've always loved just getting out, driving around, and exploring what's down a dirt...
