Looks like I bought it March 2019 and have had no problems, not the cheapest option on there but I'm happy with what I got
Nice, what kind of camera angle do you get with that cam ?
Do you have a cam for the front of the vehicle too ?

What does Molybdenum do in an engine oil ?

I see a lot of leading brands don't have as much as others.
From my research thus far, Total Quartz & Liqui Moly appear to have the highest levels of Molybdenum...

Not the best of angles but it deff helps when trying to hitch up or reverse into a parking space when there is another vehicle behind me



And nope, no front camera, no real need for one of those

And White, one for you...

Looks like Thecraig909 has a premier on YouTube in about 30 mins on a mustang that has been sitting for 30 years...

Description says it's a 1982 GL that has been sitting since 1990

It's a friction modifier. You should join BITOG.

I'll have to go check it out!

Here in a little bit, I'll be heading towards SLC to see Brit Floyd. They're good, but IMHO, Aussie Floyd is better.

Hmmm... where, on the bumper, do you impact stuff? What situations? Tall or short things?

For trailer attachment, I teased a truck owning mech across the street of cheating. He had two ~5 ft fiberglass poles with a tennis ball atop each,.and a.magnet to hole them, one on the trailer, one on the truck. He grinned.

I backed semi's in the black forest in the FRG, at night, no light of any type allowed, no moon due to the forest. Army maneuvers. Nick a tree, and the army paid the value when it would have been mature. Good fun.

But nowadays, I want to add fog lights under the rear, wide spread lights, so parking lot idiots don't hit me, in case I back out, rather than the usual, backed IN. Backing out, you often cannot see. I use my 4-ways. Backing in, you have already JUST seen ALL of the cars nearby and know where they are and how many seconds you have.

I never said I impacted anything... it's just entirely too hard with no reference point due to the stupid curved bed.
