    Did Equalizer (E4) distribute enough?

    "dealer set it up" surprised they got it that close . download the manual and watch some videos. probably another washer and/or adjust brackets and you will be golden. i have a husky centerline TS and got all my weight back on my setup .

    What are you using to clean/shine your wheels?

    the issue with that will be it will be to harsh and ruin the wheels. to get them clean you need to agitate. p&s full strength or 50/50 will get you to about 80% clean that way with a pressure washer as will a few select other cleaners but to get them fully clean you need to agitate them. just...

    Exhaust Mods & Towing

    stock- the reverb off the front of our camper with aftermarket on my 18 was so damn annoying while towing with family in truck. my thought is an electric cutout with one direction into stock exhaust and then when "open" pipe to after muffler but still exit stock tips. be able to turn loud on and off
