    Clock/AC display question

    It's definitely dimmable. Mine has similar mods and it's still dimmable. My initial guess would be that the LEDs that you have installed are not dimmable. do you have the stock bulbs you can try to see if they dim? Also if you don't have 6v led's or the 12v mod, then the LEDs may be underpowered.

    Removed JBL Sub for Storage

    A few weeks ago my aftermarket radio went silent for a couple days, and I figured it was the JBL amp acting up. I got a replacement amp to install, but I've always liked the storage option on non-JBL models, so decided to try that project instead. I ended up getting the storage shelf and a rear...

    Radio Harness Wiring-Hard Mode

    My amp just died I think. Instead of replacing it I'm thinking about just running new speaker wire as well, and hooking it up and building an 'OEM connection' harness from a Metra kit. But I'm curious how I do it with the non speaker wires. How did you get the other wires connected... the power...

    Switching from 4th gen to 5th gen

    The tiny gas pedal doesn't help either. Also the turning radius seems terrible to me. The biggest deal breaker for me though is the lack of torsen diff for 4wd. I love being able to go 4hi at any time.

    4WD differences?

    'Can' and 'should' are 2 different things. I can put my 4th gen in 4hi and do donuts in a parking lot on a dry pavement day, or choose to leave it in 4hi for the duration of winter regardless of the conditions. I believe the limit is 60 mph on the 4th gen, and as far as I know its the same on...

    4WD differences?

    Dang, that’s a real bummer. I really love the flexibility of the 4th Gen’s 4WD system.

    4WD differences?

    One of my favorite things about the 4th gen V6 is the ‘part time’ 4WD, which I learned is kind of like operating AWD? So if it’s raining or sleeting and I want extra piece of mind I can throw on 4hi with no concerns. I was super shocked when I learned the 5th gen was not like this, and...

    FS: 4th Gen used Leather Seats, fabric only, Ventura County

    Hi, I recently replaced my leatherseats.com ecstasy leather kit with a katzkin kit I found for cheap that’s OEM color. The kit it is pretty good shape, but the driver seat does have a little bit of rub wear on the edge and the back seat single has like a circular crease on it. Not sure how it...

    Turn Signal LED Hyperflash Solution

    Nice, Thanks!! Any issues with heat, or them being TOO bright? Also, did you have DRL, and if you did, do you still have them?

    Turn Signal LED Hyperflash Solution

    Are you saying those bulbs should be plug and play and work with DRL too? I watched the video, and it was only the rears, but you're making it sound like the fronts will work too

    Spare Tire Winch Love PSA

    A couple weeks ago I had to remove my spare tire for a bit. NBD. When I went to winch it back up, it was stuck. I could pay out but not retract. With or without the tire. I was finally able to get it to come up bouncing the handle mechanism left and right until it would unlock, but only an inch...

    Spark Plug Concerns

    I've had my current V6 08 for about 5yrs. I thought the spark plugs were changed before I got it around 110K. Looking at the carfax, it was actually done at 59K, has 170K today. There were NGK Iridiums in there, and I just replaced them with the same. Passenger side were hard to get out, like...

    Definitely not the middle one! That one is a little beefier
