Aftermarket skylights, hinges, and other hardware can cause fit problems, resulting in leakage or even damage. That's why we sell genuine Westfalia/Delta Six parts and skylights that are made on the ...

The Y356 is a summer tire and should never be used in winter weather. The Hankook RA18 is M&S (mud and snow) rated, meaning that technically it can be used year-round. Does that make it as good as ...

All the tires you listed have very similar specs, almost identical to the Hankook RA-18
Specs such as load capacity, max inflation, etc. do not distinguish a good tire from a bad one, they merely rul ...

A couple points of clarification...

1) Our E-codes are NOT the same as those sold elsewhere. Ours are basically Hella clones made to Hella standards, which we import from Germany ourselves. See th ...

Rustednuggs, it depends on whether your order was released to processing yet. PM me your name and I will find out.

We have the correct green Westy carpet in stock now. Also brown and orange. Haven't had a moment free to get it on our site. Should have it up by sometime next week.

If only there was a good LED replacement option for the square headlights.
There are good E-code replacements for the square headlights. They will accept LED bulbs if you want to go that way.

Not a mistake if you're happy with it.

The Trucklites aren't crap, you could do a whole lot worse and spend a lot more money doing it.

If I need to replace one down the road, so what, I always replace headlight bulbs in pairs anyway.
Right. But a pair of replacement bulbs is only $15. A pair of new LED assemblies is over $200. Hug ...

FYI, Walmart.com has a killer deal on GE Nighthawk 7” LED, which I believe are rebranded Trucklites. I just ordered a pair for $104 ea. That puts US assembled bulbs in close proximity to the cost of ...

Maybe I wasn't clear about the pricing - $79 without relays OR (not and) $119 with relays and better bulbs, TOTAL for everything. So the most you could pay would be $119 if you went top-of-the-line. ...

I installed knockoff BusDepot H4 round headlights several years ago

Seems to me he’s talking about drop in LED bulbs, not replacement housings.

He discussed both and his summary related to both. But yes, he says there are a few purpose-built 7" round complete ...

Hallelujah!
