    AM / FM vs LED lights

    Sometimes when installing an LED bulb kit or an HID bulb kit in your vehicle the result can be better, brighter light, but also a side effect of AM or FM radio interference. ... The solution for your problem might be what is called a ferrite coil, also known as a ferrite bead, a ferrite choke...

    Trailer Hitch / Back-up light attach

    What kind of connectors do you use now a days, I am not a real fan of those, but I was getting excited about completing the install and that is the only ones I had in my arsenal, ha.

    2013 Tahoe Front and Rear Hellwig sway bars

    No wonder your dad didn't want to get in the water after that experience. WOW. My dad called the Escort carriers 'jeeps' as well, I never ask him why. He is 95 now and dementia is got him pretty bad. He still can tell great stories.

    Trailer Hitch / Back-up light attach

    Got a question. I am thinking about attaching some Rough Country slim line LED 6" bar lights to enhance the back up lighting. How hard to you think it will be to drill a hole in the part of the frame where the receiver goes. My thought was to use self taping screws to hold the mounting brackets...
