    Picking up our TT out of state - trip complete - thank you!

    No joke I just watched a video about that not 5 minutes ago - I'll probably add wireless tpms while I'm at at to keep an eye on over/under pressure as well

    Picking up our TT out of state - trip complete - thank you!

    wow really? Man I thought the compressor, tanks and lines etc would weigh at least 100 anyway - I suppose eTq's MGU and battery pack aren't doing me any favors in payload. *edit* I failed to mention I would consider gutting the air system and replacing with springs to reduce some overall weight...

    Picking up our TT out of state - trip complete - thank you!

    2 Weeks to go! Super excited to buy our first TT - a Coachmen Freedom Express 257BHS (Coachmen Link) I've been pouring through this subforum for a couple days now, tons of great info and reminders on towing safety. So far towing our ski boat and a ~21' enclosed trailer have been a cakewalk...

    Creak/rattle dash

    Nope unfortunately not - it's temp and road vibration dependent so it's lessened over the winter but still there in both front dash speaker areas... Hoping to find time this summer and upgrade the speakers at the same time One random thought, I had a Toyota with a very annoying rpm and road...

    Bake open Tail Lights... (Or molded covers?) Lens crack repair

    Yikes, hope all's ok! I'm going to call around today but have a possible fix in the works... As soon as I can I'll post up pictures if it worked out

    Bake open Tail Lights... (Or molded covers?) Lens crack repair

    If I'm stuck buying another one, I might just chance it anyway to see if I can't take it apart with a pre-heat and heat gun technique Agreed - there's def a seam, albeit a tight one. No lens that I've seen anywhere, just hoping to salvage this one until lens/tail prices come down from the moon...

    Bake open Tail Lights... (Or molded covers?) Lens crack repair

    yeah that’s what I’m afraid of, and why I made the post in case anyone has tried it – I’ve baked open at least a dozen headlights and taillights of varying manufacturers, but I’m worried that this is just plastic welded together

    Bake open Tail Lights... (Or molded covers?) Lens crack repair

    I wish it was that easy, the crack extends in a few directions so the only vinyl overlay that could possibly work could be a clear bra material stretched over the whole thing but getting it into the crevices would be tough

    Bake open Tail Lights... (Or molded covers?) Lens crack repair

    If you happen across a link, please let me know! Around that price I haven't seen them with the blind spot indicator - physically I can move the blind spot sensor over but there would be a missing pigtail in the wiring of a non-BLIS unit I'll check again though! Back when I first looked they...

    Bake open Tail Lights... (Or molded covers?) Lens crack repair

    Long story short, my BLIS equipped tail light lens took a beating and originally just had a crack, now has a piece chipped out which I have in hand so it all still goes back together.. I have baked headlights and tail lights open in the past, preheating with an oven and then using a heat gun -...

    Procedure for seating half shaft to transfer case - 2020 Ram 1500 DT Rebel 4x4

    Wish I could help you - though @RamCares should realize what size lawsuit that dealership is leaving on the table with their incompetence...wow. And I thought my steering rack being crooked (still is) was an issue

    Power distribution in AWD auto

    Saw this video a while back - great visualization of AWD vs Locked vs 2WD in our 5th Gens in particular

    Secret Storage

    Only reclining seats fold down IIRC, my rebel seat bottoms fold up, but the backs don't fold down; there's a 'folding seat mod' thread out there that shows the plastic clip to modify to allow for fold-down seat backs

    1 yo Rebel with Deteriorating Steering Wheel

    I'm with SD above that it's not normal but I'd admit on a previous vehicle the pocket clip of my knife in my jeans caught the wheel when hopping in or out and took a slice out of a wheel once, bummer. As for upholstery I'd consider a leather wrap or even a wheel rim change if it really matters...

    Which level/lift option for Air Ride is best?

    Transport / Tire Jack / Alignment modes won't matter - the RC brackets are an alternative to putting in links which trick the truck into thinking it's lower than it is - causing the system to air up the front - effectively putting the front in OR mode all the time (hence the errors) Adding the...

    Trash can recommendation?

    I grabbed a pet-baggie holder and 5pk of rolls from the local dollar store to keep in the center console - easy for little things to toss in the door cup pocket until it's tossed at the next fill up

    Uhh, don’t tow your Jeep behind your RAM like this...

    I've been planning to flat tow a trail rig - RV'ers flat tow to bring along a 'daily' vehicle while they're parked up. A little towing wear isn't as bad as when the wheels are driven as well.
