    How new to buy?

    So my position on newer vehicles is well known, I can fix anything myself and find it unessessary. This will be useful to newbies as well. I'm doing some side work and they're trying to tell me that you can get more business off the load boards with newer equipment. I read that as the business...

    Newbies...see brokcanadian disclaimer in Truck Talk

    Inspired by a few ridiculous posts on equipment...to new operators... Research all you can and take things you hear with a grain of salt. Learn all you can about the vehicle you own/insurance and legal requirements before you buy, and get in the habit of performing an inspection before each...

    Pre 2007 sprinter foglights

    I don't have the option...i do see where they would go in the factory headlight, now do the bulbs go thru the small hole or do I need to cut out that round circle (no hole) to fit?
