As long as UPS doesn't lose the box again, I'll be putting my black nerf bars on my truck sometime today. I'll update with pictures when I get them on.

The ACC isn't quite that jarring. In my experience, if I come up on someone going slower than I am, the truck will gradually slow down. It detects the car in front a pretty good distance away and the system doesn't seem to be entirely "dumb" with how it manages speed and following distance...

Back in high school, I got two speeding tickets a month apart from each other. The angry DOT lady suspended my license and as soon as I got it back I bought myself my first radar detector. That Beltronics RX65 has kept me from getting another ticket in the 13 years since (growing up a little...

My primary driving with the truck is an 80 mile round trip to work with most of that being interstate. I’ve had a pretty opposite experience in my truck compared to some others here. If anything, instead of alerting and correcting late, it’s too picky about keeping me in the dead center of the...

Have you checked the fuses? The panel under the steering wheel has two screws holding it in. If you pull up the fuse section of the manual you will find a chart that should list some likely fuses to check. Fuses typically blow for a reason so there’s no guarantee finding a blown fuse will fix...

You guys have some nice pieces. When I’m done with school I hope I can get some more impressive horological additions. For the time being, I’m pretty happy with my Citizens for daily wear. This is my Citizen Titanium PCAT. It’s pretty much my ideal daily watch. Lightweight titanium, sapphire...

I’ve got one or two others I might post later but my most recent is this HK P30S.

My first motorcycle I’ve had for two years now. 2006 HD Sportster 1200 Custom in Dragonfly Green

We’re on the same page. I gladly ended up paying a couple thousand more for my truck at the dealership I did because they treated me well. I’m with you 100% that it’s a scummy move to reneg on a deal you agreed to where the dealer told you the price or discounts were contingent on doing...

Sorry in advance for the wall of text that follows... I think I can help clear the confusion up on how ethanol content affects octane rating. It's important to keep in mind that the number you see on the pump is an octane rating and not a measure of actual octane content. An octane rating is a...

Feel free to dig up the tin can buried in your backyard with all your money whenever you want to buy something. Idiot millennials like myself will have to keep taking advantage of low-to-no interest financing so we can put the money we didn't lay out for a rapidly depreciating asset into...

I have never had a dealer volunteer the fact that they make money on the finance side. If, during the negotiation, that becomes a point brought up as a quid pro quo of lowering the sale price to make the money back from a bank commission, I could see wanting to stand by your word. Short of that...

Thanks for the info. I didn't know a combo lock was available, but I wonder if it interferes with the sliding tray. Tuffy's site says you can't slide the cup holder to the rear with the key inserted. I probably should have thought to get some more pictures of the actual vault itself before I...

I didn’t give it a lot of consideration because I think it only comes keyed. The more I look at it, the more I’m glad I passed on it. I’m thinking about their under seat locker, but I would pass on this console insert. The Tuffy has folding “legs” instead of the welded body of the Console...

Thanks. That’s why I wrote it up. Didn’t see much information about them here especially compared to the Lock’er Down and I’m happy I went with the one I did. There’s probably not a vast difference in security between the two but the difference in installation was big to me. I’m only a few weeks...

Definitely don’t work for them. I make toothbrushes for a living. I can’t even ask for a freebie from them since I already bought it [emoji22] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of the many things I love about my truck is the well thought out center console. One of the first things I wanted to do was install a lock box in the cavernous but unused area under the arm rest in the console. There seem to be a few manufacturers that make fairly similar designs. I...

Exactly. I know salesmen are in the business to make big margin sales and earn the fat commissions that go with them. My wife was telling me about her only prior experience at a new car dealership when she was a minor and her parents were buying a minivan. They had young kids with them, weren’t...

It’s amazing how compelling a customer walking away is to a salesman. I should have played that card myself earlier instead of entertaining his back and forth to the point I just plain didn’t want to do business there. I really felt like he figured me for a chump. I had done my first test drive...
