Ok, this makes me feel better. I thought the dealer possibly changed the oil and didn’t put the correct one in, just found something that fit. I too googled the number and didn’t get anything to come up, but didn’t try for too long. Yes the rest of the truck is nearly perfect. Kind of...

So I just changed the oil today on my (new to me) 2016 trail. 5,000 miles after buying it from a dealer. This was the oil filter that came out. Obviously not the same as the original. Has anyone seen an oil filter like this in a 5th gen? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I made this to keep Rottweiler slobber off the back seat. So far it’s great. Attaches with zip ties now but I may find a bit better solution, something reusable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

We roll the back window down part of the way and our dog loves that. I guess I’m not willing for slobber and hair all over, much less when he’s muddy or wet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Made a dog barrier to keep the Rottweiler slobber off the back seat. Have materials to make a few more if anyone is interested. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

This is how the unistrut cross bars turned out. I’m pretty happy, they seem really stout. I did a cad design of the side brackets so if anyone wants the template I can send a .pdf that you can print out and trace. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I picked up some steel today, I plan to make some crossbars out of unistrut tomorrow. Will post up some pics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I was thinking of welding some 3/16 flat plate on the ends of the strut. Then making some inserts out of 1/4 by 1-1/4 strap that will slide into the rails. Tap a couple holes in those and should be super strong. What’s the benefit of raising the cross bars above the rails? Trying to decide if I...

Been tossing around ideas about building my own cross bars after reading here. Anyone ever seen/used unistrut for crossbars? I’ve got some laying around and could easily weld a flange on each end to mount to factory rails. The unistrut has holes/slots to mount a plethora of gear and the weight...

I had this problem earlier today on my 95. I finally found the loop that releases the bottom part of the seat. If your trying to fold the top part of the seat, pull the knob on the top corner. Confused me for a bit for sure. Good luck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
