Turns out the washer wasn't necessary because the extender does not rub at all. <br/>Also, the hole is there from factory with threads.

The day I put on the Advantage TorzaTop Tri fold Tonneau Cover. I haul all kinds of things and this is great during winter or rainy weather and storing luggage on trips. Easy on and Off.

Default Audio

Truck needed a bit more bass. Could not find any wiring diagrams to wire the factory amo since all wires were black and unlabled. My local audio guy had several of these 100W Class D kickers.

Back when my wife backed into a tree.





Back when caliper seized and I replaced it, plus cleaned backside of wheels.





Center console setup: gloves, first aid, and fire extinguisher for quick access.





This sets ontop of the first aid and allows for quick removal and good organization. My daughters school was throwing these away(was used for art class). I knew I'd figure out some use for it.

I've had this Edge Evoluiton CS for almost 3 years now. Before, I was averaging 14city/17hwy. After on level 2 tow mode (better for low torque take offs and overdrive) 17city/20hwy. Then I changed out my plugs for Champion one piece plugs this year 2015and 22.7hwy is the best to date.

Had some pitting after our heavy salted winter.





Used fine grit steel mesh 000 with WD-40 and the pitting came right off.





Was the first full detail of 2015 in February. Started using Griots Garage products and I'm very impressed compared to the Turtle Wax I previously used. Also use microfiber cloths, wash mitts, and GreenWorks pressure washer.





Then polished with Blue Magic Metal polish. Now I just use WD-40 to shine wheels after I wash them.





Had to remove windshield tint to avoid a $190 ticket. This was done by previous owner. Always said I'd leave it on till I was pulled over for it. Went a good 3 years before I did. It was nice but I'm not mad about it. Plus the officer mentioned I could be still be fined if Invilved in an accident even if it wasn't my fault. I wasn't aware of that so I was quick to remove the tint.

Found these amber LED strips at Ollies Outlet for $5. Wired them into my marker lights. They stood out during dusk and morning fog plus liked kinda cool. Lasted about 5 months until same of the LEDs shorted out from the protective cover splitting and water made its way in there.





I removed the amber lights and used cool blue LEDs. The same type strips as ambers I just put them close together to look like one continuous strip. Looks great on the road and stands out during dusk, night, and morning fog. Not bad for $5. The glare looks a bit like a single row light bar.





Another variation I played around with but it looked girly as if the headlights had eyelashes.





This looked cool close up, but only at night and didn't ad any road visibility for other drivers during dusk or fog.
