• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Rain Gear

    We need some new rain gear, looking for some light weight gear that keeps you dry. We had a cheap set of frog toggs and they did ok but they are worn out. I have no clue what's out there on the market now so anyone that has purchased some rain gear lately I'd be glad to hear from you. Thanks JT

    2012 RT Trailer Lights

    I'm trying to put some LED lights on my NHR carrier but I'm not getting what I expect. If I connect both - wires to the white wire and one to the brown and one to the yellow then one light is on all the time. If I connect both to the yellow then the brake lights work but flash when the left...

    I ran into a couple from Branson and they were broke down. The brake light does not come on when you step on the pedal and then it goes into limp mode. Fixed a wiring mess on the right one and checked the fuse. Any Ideas? JT
