    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Installed 18W - 6 LED fixure to light up winch during night time use. Connected to SwitchPro 9100. Took about an hour with most of that time getting the correct bends in the aluminum bracket.

    Bilstein 5100 Series - 5th Gen

    Put on 5100's a few week's ago. Kept stock springs and didn't raise front (yet). No issues with KDSS. Really like the improved stiffness of the ride. Much better handling when I tow my 3,500lb trailer, too.

    Help locating Bilstein shocks...

    4Wheel Parts Ft Worth, TX (Quebec St) has 5160 left and right ready to ship or pick up in 5 days. No 6112's. Picked up some 5100's there a few days ago. Only place I could find them. Other 4Wheel Parts stores had no stock but this one had access to some in stock inventory. Was a little strange

    Got it. Appreciate the info. I did forget to ask about the 4600 shock and KDSS. Any issues with wheel travel off road?

    4600 vs. 5100 - Here's What Bilstein Says

    I am now towing a TT and want to replace the original shocks that have 146k miles on them. I have no lift and not really planning on doing one. Do use air bags to level rear when towing. Since tongue weight and gear have added weight would the 4600 still be ok or do I need the 5100's? Get that...

It will be about 30 minutes away. Fred, the owner, has a quality shop and does excellent work. For off road I use Baertrax in...

    Derale 13504 Transmission Cooler Install

    I installed a B&M 70274 cooler. After mounting cooler on AC coils I attached the trans fluid hose I was using for the install to the bottom cooler barb and raised the hose end a little higher than the barbed fitting at the top of the cooler. This hose is fitted for the install so I'll just...

    Towing Mirrors: adding removable motorcycle mirrors near ends of T4R mirrors?

    Have same visibility issue pulling my travel trailer. Tried the Amazon Fit System K Source 3791. Didn't do much for me plus look like they could slip off at highway speeds. Ended up mounting a wireless license plate camera in the back window of my TT. Plugs into a USB plug right next to the...

    Bull bar vs no Bull bar slim bumper

    Never heard of the Amazon bumper. Went with C4 Lo Pro w/ high bar. Really like the look. Easy install and great fab job (welds, grinding, etc). Like the added protection of the taller bar and will also use it as connection point to attach surf rod rack.

    Drivers front dash speaker blown

    Ditto on the Infinity Reference dash speakers. Installed a pair of the REF-3022cfx (discontinued and replaced by REF-3032cfx) couple years ago and love them When cranked up carry more sound than almost all the other speakers combined. Crisp and clear.
