    Wheel spacers

    I’m curious about the thinner spacers, like the 1/2” or less. Do those fasten the same way the larger ones do? IE tighten the existing lugs over the spacer, then mount the wheel on the spacer studs? Or are they just a plate with holes that slide over the existing studs. I‘m definitely not...

    A different type of CAI discussion...

    I just ordered the Volant from realtrucks. They have a $50 rebate if you order it in the month of August and submit the rebate form before 9/15. So it’ll only cost me $250. Looking forward to getting it, and I’ll provide my thoughts if you’re still searching when I get it installed. rebate...

    Lasfit switchback fogs problem?

    FWIW, I did a few timings on my drive home tonight. The memory lasts ~15 seconds.

    Lasfit switchback fogs problem?

    Yup - I have ordered a bunch from Lasfit and they definitely stand behind their products. I had one of my fog ballasts go out and they were very quick to rectify the situation. In my experience, it shouldn't switch colors every time you change to your high beams and back again, there is a...

    Lasfit switchback fogs problem?

    Then your fogs would always stay on unless you turn off the switch, right? Even when using high beams? Seems like that would work, yea. In this case, feels like there could have certainly been a little more thought out into how to change colors, for sure. I would have also appreciated the...

    Lasfit switchback fogs problem?

    Yep, I have the switchbacks and have the issue with the sharp turn causing them to be opposites. I dont have the issue with the high beams however, unless I put my highs on for a short period of time (5 sec maybe?) Near as i can figure it, it seems to just built into the ‘color change’ timing...

    How long do u keep your trucks ?

    Historically, I seem to only make it between 9 to 12 months after I pay them off. :( Hoping this one makes it longer!

    Bed Step

    It’s quite heavy duty, and has some very strong springs to keep it from bouncing and banging around over bumps. But... the reality is probably that its Mopar. All the bed steps are generally at or over $200, Mopar just a bit more than most. FWIW, I have the Mopar and am very happy with it.

    what are you going to do with your"Stimlius check"?

    Same. Thankfully, wife and I both are still employed, so we’ve been getting more takeout, and leaving good tips when we do. We’d probably do that even more with stimulus money.

    Big Horn Snow Tire Help

    So, for what it’s worth... if you’re spending most of your time in and around Seattle, where (please correct me if I’m wrong) you don’t end up with much snow accumulation, right (in the city, I mean)? Studded snows would be - at best - unnecessary, and might be dangerous. On dry/non-snowy...

    Trxudeo Lo Pro or Pro X15

    I have the Pro X15 on my 5’-7” bed, and I like it. I like the matte finish on the cover material. It is not completely water tight, and I actually installed an extra length of gasket to cover the tailgate because it was a little short (but I may have misaligned it a little - too far towards the...

    Big Horn Snow Tire Help

    I have Yokohama IceGuards on a set of 20” wheels, and they seem to be okay. Honestly didnt get a great chance to test them this year as the snow here in my area was trash this year. So I didnt have a decent enough storm to venture out during the worst of it. I think some folks here run...

    Big Horn Snow Tire Help

    Agree w/ Jako, keep the 18” for winter. More sidewall height should mean a better ride on the rougher winter roads (in theory - definitely its an issue here in New England, our roads get destroyed every winter). If they use salt in your area, just wash your truck a couple times during the season.

    How to preserve that new car smell as long as possible

    I tried a few different ‘new car smell’ air fresheners when it started to fade in my 2019, and the closest i found was this combo from amazon Chemical Guys 2-pack. I do a two-to-one spray of the new car and leather smell (despite not having leather interior ;)) and its a pleasant, reasonable...

    Adding Heated mirrors

    You cant just swap the glass, you have to replace the mirrors (and some other bits) , then its wired into the existing functionality as it should be. Heres the big thread from the ‘Exterior’ section. Still active...

    Changed Dash Speakers To Kickers...WOW!

    Same. I swapped in the 3 dash speakers for Infinitys, didn't check polarity or anything, and I couldn't be happier! :D

    Snow chains recommendation for 22 inch tires

    I’d been reading this trying to figure out why chains were needed in the Netherlands, but I’m now convinced they were a good idea looking at your tires and your ski trip plans! :LOL: Enjoy your trip! Here in New England, we can’t seem to get any snow without some rain too. :cautious:(n)

    Hollow sounding drivers side rear door

    Thats a pretty shítty answer, customer service-wise. “Hoo boy <mopping forehead sweat> we have got bigger fish to fry than that pal!” Cool cool cool.. :) I’d be curious to hear what the body shop says, but unless theres something mechanically loose and banging around, I dont know what they'd...

    Hollow sounding drivers side rear door

    I had noticed the difference, but I thought it was more generally front vs rear noise. I use the drivers rear door more than the passenger, but I was chalking this up to less sound deadening than the fronts. I was planning to just have the rear doors dynamatted sometime soon, but it would be...

    Oem led fog light

    Sorry, I havent got the lows/highs into LEDs yet, just aftermarket halogens. And theres no dust caps on the fogs, but i did have to zip tie the ballasts so they weren't banging around. Ended up drilling a small hole in the fender liner where the two fender liner pieces overlap to run the ziptie...
