    Metal shavings, some 3-in-one, and a couple magnets make an interesting trio.

    Are those tires hard to balance?
    I have two that just won't even get close. The other two balance perfectly.

    Need help from my electrical brethren. I’m stumped.

    Haven’t ran a license plate light since getting my rear bumper 2+ years ago. Finally had a guy pull me over and give me a warning.

    Bought some LED bolt lights and wired them up and it instantly pops a fuse. I’ve tried 10 and 20 amp fuses.

    Should I have the two leds in series? Parallel? I looked and found the green is positive and white/Black is negative. I’m assuming red to green? Black to white/Black?

    Idk what else it could be.

    Not at all, never balance them.

    Threw an 8oz. bag of equalflex in them and never a problem in a yr.

    Only problem I have with the stuff is, when I air down I pull my valve stem out. Some might slow the flow to clogging.
    Some gets logged in the valve piece at times also when airing up.

    Figured it out, damn electrical gremlins. one of the solder points had one strand of wire poke through the heat shrink into the negative wire. Found out by putting a 30amp fuse in and smelled wires heating up. Caught it in time and turn it off. could have been bad. I ended up taking the wiring harness out and building my own with the factory plugs and a spare waterproof connector so i can remove the lights. (the light bolts/plate are on a removable hitch to reveal the hidden hitch.

    I use to have a flip-up so it was still there, but that broke and sat way to tall when folded up and scratched the tailgate when i lowered it to load stuff. I'm going to have a local shop weld a small receiver in the tire portion of the swingout so i can just move it up and out of the way.

    Edit, like this:

    Yea, snagged up @ffdawson's when he got his new one. it's an All-Poo with a 'yotaman' fabbed swingout. Has some @Bentrodder additions and support if I'm not mistaken. Twas a while ago that I got it.
