    WTB'ers beware! Jinks7 is a Scamming P.O.S.!

    Lowrance questions

    Greetings and Salutations, I have an opportunity to pick up a used Lowrance HDS-7 GEN 2 (NOT HDS 7m, not Touch) for pretty cheap. I'm just getting in to off road GPS and the idea of picking up a unit I can switch on to my boat is intriguing. But I wont use it very often so I cant justify the...

    Shoutout to Noah@ the car stereo company

    Noah was in town last month for the Bloody Basin run and we hooked up to take his truck to Lex Motorsports. Seems he had to fix some of his amateur stunt driving snafus.

    Im looking into possibly getting a tune (either SVT or 5 star) for my next upgrade but I have 0 experience with engine tunes. My question is will my truck pass emissions testing with a tune? Or will I have to reverse it back to stock before taking it in for testing? In Phoenix, we have some...

    Aux 1&2 wiring question/suggestion

    So I put 2 LED light bars on Aux switch 1 and some M&R hood pod lights on Aux 2. My question is; has anyone wired individual or multiple Aux switches to the Hi beams? Seems like a good way to turn your LED's on and off quickly with the dimmer switch. And you're likely to have your hi beams on...

    Anyone running Walker Evans Legend wheels?

    I like the unusual design of them but I couldnt find any recent pictures of a Raptor with them on. I saw an old picture on Baja Chaser's truck, but after I looked him up to send a PM, I saw his truck was stolen back in 2012. That sucks! I didnt want to wade through 1300 posts in the "post your...

    WTB; Outlaw hood light mounts

    I have M&R hood lights and the mounts wiggle/flex over bumps. Very annoying!! M&R unfortunately doesnt make a more robust mount, so here I am. Mine are the type where you have to cut the cowl, as are Outlaw Offroad brackets. Any other brackets stout enough to NOT wiggle are open for...
