No way for me to know for sure, but if you follow my info on measuring and creating mock-ups you can figure out how much room you have. Then find speakers to fit and create a custom mount as I did. Overall great. Love the sound. The only problem is on the really cold days, even the after market...

Could be, you're not supposed to have flashing white lights on the front of your vehicle, makes it look like a cop. Since these are the turn signals, it could be an issue.

While we're talking recovery, a few safety points... When using a hook always hook from the bottom up so that if the hook break it's driven down into the ground and not up into the air. Also when shackling, here's proper way to saddle a dead horse... (I keep a laminated copy in my gear bag just...

Van Beest are the only type of shackles I use and have never even heard of one ever failing. They can be hard to find at times though. Nice find, I'll have to add it to my list of suppliers.

Your first class will be very tame. Probably so much so that most 2WD cars could handle it with a little care. Just take your time and enjoy. Sure, you'll be nervous the first time, but that's expected since you don't know what to expect from either the class or your truck. But, hey, that's what...

No problem with the hijack, everyone's welcome. It seems that the preferred method is currently a OBDII interface, and then an app to interrupt the data. The interface can be either WiFi or BlueTooth. I chose the BlueTooth 'cause it seemed to be the most pervasive and therefore probably the...

OK, after playing with Torque Pro for a little while I decided it wasn't what I wanted. After researching (searching on google play) I downloaded Carista OBD2 and found it had many features I liked, including the ability to set programmable features. After faking a failure that Torque Pro...

Thanks for the input everyone. I've decided to get Torque Pro and use a Vgate Bluetooth Scan Tool for the OBDII interface (it's advertised as being 100% compatible with Torque Pro).

Anyone using a smartphone (Android) OBDII reader and have any opinions on them? I'm looking for something to go WAY beyond what my ScangaugeII can do. I want to read the deep/obscure codes and understand what they mean and clear them. I figure a Smartphone enabled tool would be better since...

OK, I confess. I've been back lighting my add-on switches via a relay controlled by ignition on. While this works 'OK', it isn't what I really want. What I want is for the back lighting on my switches to turn on and off with the head lights, just like the stock/factory switches do. Does anyone...

Always trust the Antman!!! . .

You should repost this in the 4th gen area, if you haven't already.

I did a different grill mod but didn't like it plain so I added a rear emblem, blacked out. For my goal, it adds just enough bling without being in your face. Sorry, but this is currently the best picture I have of it and you can just barely see it behind the top bar.

I used a different bulb but with the same issue, too long. I trimmed the clip-on bulb back cover with a Dremel tool to make it fit

Here's what I did on my '12 TE. The 4x4 shift knob is from ICON.
