    Towing Question

    I'm pretty sure my tow hitch is rigged to the frame and not the bumper.

    Towing Question

    Hey y'all. Looking to be getting a bumper pull camper here in the near future and wanted to get advice as to what The Dutchman's towing capability would be? I'm hoping for about a 22ft trailer. It's a '00 Eddie Bauer, 5.4L V8.

    '00 Door Lock Issue

    I think I'll be starting to become a regular at my scrapyard too--I find it great fun and a great learning experience. Ours is the kind where you go pick your part yourself which is nice. I love having an older vehicle--easier to fix and maintain. :D

    Removing/Replacing Front Lower Valance

    Right-o. Yeah, that was a discussion I was having with my friend last night--haven't decided if I'll do it myself or have my mechanic do it...

    Removing/Replacing Front Lower Valance

    Well, went to the scrapyard and they always remove the batteries first so that wasn't a worry. Was able to get the valance off with elbow grease and more than a few curses and a scraped up hand but with much satisfaction--my boyfriend helped with a 2-3 of the bolts but I did most of the work...

    Removing/Replacing Front Lower Valance

    Hi, y'all. Lots happening with The Flying Dutchman. So my the lower valance with my front bumper (where my fog lights and tow hooks are) is needing replacing (zip ties are holding part of it on) and I wanted to know how hard it is to remove. The scrapyards in my area have a few for less than...

    '00 Door Lock Issue

    Good to know. I was going to be lazy today but now I'm going out to screw around with The Dutchman. Went a couple scrapyards yesterday and found some replacement cosmetic parts (local car wash ripped off my front passenger door trim a few weeks ago ). Plus new knobs for my lumbar support and my...

    Fog Light Bulb Replacement

    Just figured out that my fog light housings are not stock. They're Depos--so one of the previous owners upgraded them.

    Fog Light Bulb Replacement

    I want to put LED bulbs on The Dutchman's fog lights--can I just switch them out with the current halogens? I am going to be keeping the stock fog lights for now but I just want brighter bulbs.

    Headlight Bulb Replacement

    Which Hikaris did you go with? I saw numerous ones on Amazon with varying reviews.

    Headlight Bulb Replacement

    OK so I thought I had this solved by what I found on the forum yesterday but now I'm not so sure. I want to replace the headlights on The Dutchman but the ones I want are out of stock everywhere. The lightning I think they are called. So I'm ready to just have the stock headlights restored and...

    Blown Out Subwoofer

    So when I replace the sub, I can leave the amp as is? Or will that come out with the old sub?

    '00 Door Lock Issue

    I've actually never used the keypad on my door--just the remote or manually pushing the locks down or the lock button on the inside of the driver and front passenger door.
