Bestop Jeep Top Installation - 1998 Isuzu Amigo

Today we are going to be installing Bestop Replacement Top part number B5115701 on a 1998 Isuzu Amigo. As you can see, we have already removed the old cover from the vehicle. We want to go ahead and release the latches that are holding the framework onto the main portion of the vehicle. We can do so by just pressing the button in and pulling the latch over on both sides. Let us go ahead and fold it back and let it rest there. We are going to go ahead and open up the rear door, and then we are just going to take the top, and we are going to start by fastening to the snaps here on the front bow assembly. Next we are just going to take the bow assembly and go ahead and rotate it up into position. We are going to leave it unlatched at the front here for the time being, and then we are going to come in here to the rear side of the top. And you can see we have got snaps along this rear edge as well. We are going to go ahead and take the snaps that are on the top, fold them over, and snap them into place. more

Bestop BestRail Cargo Management System Review - Video

Bestop BestRail Cargo Management System Review

This is the BestRail Cargo Management System, and what this is is a very functional, flexible system that will allow you to add or subtract a lot of the accessories as needed. The BestRail System starts out here with a channel system that goes around the perimeter of the bed of the truck. And from that piece there, I can add or subtract depending on what my current needs are. The first thing that we have added today is the overhead rack system. And the overhead rack system comes with two parts. It allows me to go ahead and put lumber, ladders, etc., depending on what my needs are to carry out there. One big feature about this here is, we have a quick-release system. And these are ratchet-designed connectors here that hold the rear overhead rack in place. A nice thing I can do with that is I can either take it off in about 3 minutes, put it in my garage so I do not have the overhead rack. Or, I can go ahead and actually adjust this up anywhere here along this channel to give me the flexibility depending on what type of cargo I am carrying. more

Hoppy Tailgate EasyLift Review - Video

Hoppy Tailgate EasyLift Review

Today we are going to show you part number 74211 from Hoppy. This is Hoppys Tailgate EasyLift. What this is, is a device that actually takes the weight off the tailgate and makes it easier to lift up and down. In most cases it will take up to 80 percent of the weight of the tailgate off your hands. It is actually pretty easy to install. As soon as you open it up you can see the instructions on what to do to install it. Basically you only have to drill two holes. One gets drilled into the tailgate itself and the other gets drilled into the truck bed itself. Most of the time on a tailgate you take two arms and you have got to really kind of push and shove it up in there. With the EasyLift it actually does not require that much effort at all. You can do it easily one-handed while probably carrying something in that arm, too. And also, when you let it down, it does not really flop down all that hard it actually has a controlled descent. And again, it just makes it smooth going up into the bed when you close it. And there you have it for part number 74211 from Hoppy, the Tailgate EasyLift. more

Superwinch EPi 9.0 High-Performance Recovery Winch Review - Video

Superwinch EPi 9.0 High-Performance Recovery Winch Review

Today we are going to cover part number 09034 from Superwinch. This is their EPi 9.0 High-Performance Recovery Winch. This winch is rated at 9,000 pounds. It features power load in and out. It also incorporates the freespooling clutch that allows you to pull up the cable by hand when you need to, so you do not have to wait on a slow motor to pull it out. This also has a quiet and efficient, full metal, three-stage planetary gear box. The motor is a 4.6 horsepower series wound motor. It comes complete with a roller fairhead, that you see in the front there, that reduces the wear and strain on the wire rope while you are doing winching applications. It also comes with a hand-held remote so that you can stand back, safely out of the way, to operate the winch and get your vehicle out of its stuck position. It also has an automatic load-holding brake. And it also includes a pulley block to give you double capacity on your cable. We will go ahead and point out some of these features on the winch itself. more

Edge Evolution Performance Module - 2002 Ford Powerstroke - Video

Edge Evolution Performance Module - 2002 Ford Powerstroke

This is the installation of the Edge Evolution power module for the Ford Powerstroke 7.3 liter. This will fit the 1999 through 2003, this one is being installed on the 2002 model. The first step in installing this is to put a temperature probe into the exhaust manifold. We have to drill out the hole, tap it, install the threads, and then install the probe. Now we will go ahead and install the cable onto the port now that the hole we drilled is tapped out. We run this up through the firewall and back inside so we can make our connections inside the vehicle. After running the cable up through the vehicle we will route it through the firewall. The next step is to remove the fuse panel cover, to locate the OBDII port. Next we plug the OBDII cable into the OBDII port and route the cable into place. Now we route the other end of the cable out through the door sill, take the weather stripping and pull that back to expose the port and route it up through here. To secure the pod, locate the metal brackets and the pod, note that the brackets are numbered and should be placed in the appropriate, numbered locations inside the pod. Use the permanent, double sided tape to secure the brackets inside the pod. Make sure that the numbers match up. The next step is to clean the pod mounting location. Once you have secured the velco and double checked the location, you can secure the pod with the velcro. When the mounting bracket is secured in place just plug the cable into the back of the monitor and plug the cable coming through the firewall into the port. more
