  1. They don't make earthquake tire.
  2. You can now pay by phone, and the meter accepts credit cards.
  3. I am so lucky to live in a snow free zone.
  4. Here is how it looks in the day time. This was today, Christmas morning, on Polk Street.
  5. Amber side marker on plastic trim forward of the door, and red eagle eye LED on plastic trim above tail lamps. Both are triggered to strobe and flash as needed.
  6. This is what I'm currently using on the front of the Transit Connect.
  7. Perfect timing. It is winter. You don't have to go anywhere. "Test Drive" it by sleeping outside for a week. Perfect, since you're already street parking. A buddy of mine has chosen to spend nights out in his driveway, sleeping in his Subaru, so that he can make adjustments as needed for things like his bedding, adding power, trying to charge with a solar panel on his car's roof, et cetera. He figures that if he can "live" in his car during the winter, it will be perfect for summer road trips and camping.
  8. The driver can make all the difference in the world. The right driver behind the wheel, and you would think it's a different car altogether.
  9. Some people use flashing blue lights on personal vehicles. Off-duty cops, volunteer firefighters, or any kind of first responder who has to begin response in a personal vehicle. Obviously a Transit Connect will not be a pursuit vehicle.
  10. As I recall, I bought these off eBay for about half the price. 20 lamps, for about $10. $0.50 each unit. But I had to wait for shipping from China, which took almost 2 months.
  11. BSUPC, On Amazon, these come in red, blue, & green also. Just in case you want to set them up to flash and strobe. https://smile.amazon.com/Partsam-Marker-License-Trailer-Assembly/dp/B019MS9NH6/ref=sr_1_8?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1514098366&sr=1-8&keywords=blue+side+marker+lights
  12. Not flush mounted. It sticks out. Product description says 0.04". Product comes with a foam padding, so that after you install, it helps keep water from going in through the holes. Maybe it works. But if I'm concerned about water leaking in, I will use silicone.
  13. On the van, I am considering using a 30" light bar. This will put out more light than what most jurisdictions will allow on a public roadway. However, there really is no restriction for off-road use. On private roads, campgrounds, on private property such as a ranch or farm.........you do whatever you need to, in order to see what you want. Here in The City, whenever there is a power outage, I drive with the lights on, come to intersections and flash them with the strobe feature, and police and traffic control officers waive me on through. Whenever there is fog, I use the yellow lights without a problem. I also use my yellow lights when I go through tunnels, and in day time driving through Down Town and Financial District streets where traffic is heavy, and there are always double parked delivery trucks. I've never had an issue using my strobe lights driving through construction zones with workers on the side of the road, when the police have streets and lanes closed off for road construction. When the highway between CA & NV has heavy snow, the Highway Patrol closes the road, then leads small groups of cars across slowly. I am always allowed to use yellow lights and strobes flashing. https://smile.amazon.com/Multi-Color-Autofeel-Spotlights-Mounting-Brackets/dp/B07414KRSG/ref=lp_10718189011_1_9?srs=10718189011&ie=UTF8&qid=1514005633&sr=8-9
  14. On the pickup truck, the light bar tucked nicely into the air dam. On the van, the license plate add-on shelf did the job. I was undecided over using a 12" light bar with spot/flood combination, or 2 7" flood lights. I keep changing them back & forth. No worries, since they are not that expensive, and it's simply a matter of 2 nuts & bolts, and plugging it in.
  15. Installed to turn on with front mounted amber lights.
  16. I can see how a guy can fall for her.
  17. I've had it over a year now, and I'm still adding to it. Come to think of it, I've owned the pickup for 10 years now, and I'm still adding to it.
  18. Can someone explain what this is for, or how to use it?
  19. When you have rubber floors, you don't need mats. You simply hose out or mop the floors. Sounds stupid, I know. But I've always used a mop and bucket to clean the rubber floors of commercial vehicles. You could also use a wash rag, brush, and bucket of soapy water if you want to do it by hand.
