Re: Building a custom LED color for the coach hand rail

'I did the same thing for several of my lights. Even though the leds I ordered from overseas said they were an 1156, I discovered either the indexing pins were a little off, or the actual diameter of the base was too small and the bulb wouldn't seat properly in the socket.

Re: Motorcycle lifts

'I should have mentioned that I had no intention of using the factory hitch because obviously 600lbs plus the weight of the lift itself would far exceed the standard hitch design limits. Along similar lines of the Trailer Toad, the Cruiserlift Swivel Wheel Tandem-Tow platform is an option as it shar...
