    After watching Jillian Rebekah's Tacoma walk-around I want a hard shell first aid kit like the one she has mounted to her truck cage.

    Who does their own electrics?

    So I openly admit that I'm not a mechanic and will shy away from many jobs on my Cruiser beyond changing a wheel... actually I get a bit more involved than that but replacing a wheel bearing is probably my worst nightmare.
