I've always been an iPhone user, mostly out of habit. A friend of mine gave me his screen-cracked Samsung Note 9 w/ 512 GB and I thought I'd put it to use as a permanent fixture as the default Bluetooth MP3 player. With such a large capacity I can take advantage some of my rips being .flac...

For years this has been driving me crazy whenever I go somewhere, yet by the time I'm home where I can investigate the problem it's exited my brain and it's forgotten until the next time I get behind the wheel. Well today after almost 5 years I finally remembered to figure it out. I couldn't...

A buddy of mine has little sheath that snaps a lid over the FOB and once it's closed there's no way it'll start the vehicle. It's not considerably much larger than the FOB itself and he has left it on the vehicle in strategic locations without worry

Yah that is the biggest selling point. When I finally reach audio upgrade on my mod checklist, I'll be going for the OEMA+ with dual subs, though I will be adding sound deadening to the budget. In my youth(20 years ago) I probably did around 10 full complete installed along with fitted sub box...

How important is it for you to have instant access to your truck? I lived in D.C. in the early 00s and lived on N street near 31st in NW with the same issue you have. I grew tired of fighting for street parking and more often that not I'd end up parking 2-3 blocks away making the walk to my Jeep...

Ahhhh very nice! I've always just browsed through Discount Tire instead as they have so many more brands and it doesn't have a spec for that. I'll have to browse around and keep an eye out though I think Tire Rack may carry ever one on my list with the exception of the Nitto Grapplers.

I've read the Falken Wildpeak and Goodyear Duratrac tend to run wider and know for certain the Bridgestone Duelar run skinny based on Dad's F150 on 265/75s after he switched to those from Michelin LTX. Anyway it's finally new shoe time for some 285s this week and was just curious which brands...

I'm in rural Western Ky and all the shops I've come across are just the standard jack of all trades performance shops with most being just wheels/tires being installed by teenager sourced from the local Vo-Tech school making slightly above minimum wage. Those shops have their place but when...

I'm sure there's a handful of other mods which will happily take the Bilstein's place in the "I'm about to do <insert mod>"

Of course a good 2-way speaker will serve just fine but a component system is always going to be just a tad better. My issue is I don't want an unwieldy tweeter just mounted to the panel and I'm not the biggest fan of permanent modifications like cutting up the plastic on multiple panels. Years...

Those aren't OEMs. SEMA's are 17x7. Those also have different offset and bore compared to the SEMA/TRD PRO wheels which are +4mm and 106mm respectively.

Yah that baffles me too. Why go to the trouble to produce a new part w/o a design change.

I have a friend who's a body tech at my local Toyota dealer and has come up with two separate answers. I thought it was a different dimensions based off a couple articles I've read but he was unable to locate a different part number for the wheels when comparing a '18 model to the '19. Then...

Do they make LEDs for all 3 front lighting options? I was going Hakari but having difficulty with the H16s for the fog lights.

I'm curious as this as well as the overall cost so I can compare. There's only one place near me that does PC and they quoted me $60 wheel plus material cost. Throw in $75 to have the tires removed then reinstalled and I fear by the time tax 9% tax is added in it's going to come within $100 to...
