Have had it on previous cars that I bought just because it was a "limited" package. I never used it. I never really look up and back when I'm driving... 1. too dangerous. 2. uncomfortable. Pros of having one: Hair has that windblown look like the shampoo commercials while driving. You get...

I used to detail cars part time. Depends on color. Black, forgettabout it. Now that I am older I just go white/silver.

Hmm, I thought of Velcro but wondered if it would raise it up too much or cause the insert to wobble around. Now that I think about it I may have some low-profile industrial Velcro in my travel trailer. Next time I get it out of storage I may try this.

Seems like almost every time I put a cup in the cupholder, when I go to take a drink, the rubber insert pops out, stuck to the cup. If I take the inserts out, then the cupholder is too big for most normal sized cups. Was considering screwing them down, but its nice to have the option for larger...

Interesting experience on the cleaning. I've only ever used a catch can on a fixed up Honda with NOS, the catch can helps with the oil increasing the likelihood of detonation. I had a Greddy can that had a clear tube to see when to drain, probably once every couple months on mine even though...

Right, your time is much better wasted getting your post count up by posting non-helpful rubbish multiple times in threads that don't pertain to you. Whatever makes you feel better I suppose, bro. And by bro, I mean never my bro. Yeah I know about the sway, I usually load all my gear in...

Hey, thanks for linking all of these MULTIPLE thousands of threads you found...

Hello all, I am slowly making some upgrades to my T4R to make it handle towing better, as I plan on trying to camp out more with our travel trailer. My trailer wet and loaded is probably around 4500#, 5-600# tongue weight. I couldn't really find a thread with consolidated info, if somebody can...

Kind of sounds like a relay going south. Maybe a bad ground or low battery? Sometimes low voltage causes relays to do strange things.

I doubt its this since he says that 1 and 2 don't even light the light. Sounds like the momentary switches are bad. Maybe got wet or something inside, which is odd due to location, unless sunroof left open in rain or something. But shouldn't be due to normal wear and tear. If you really need...

I installed car audio and alarms for a long time a while back, and had friends that worked for (and started) some of these companies. The way it at least worked back then was the dealers would contract these companies to install a "security device" on their vehicles as soon as they got to the...

I'd want something that could lock. Similar to a power tool like a table saw where you can keep kids etc from turning it on. Though ina vehicle you may/will lose that little pull out plastic "key", so maybe something like this would be good to keep pets (or sleeping people, or rather sleeping...

More to do with gearing than HP. The HP/torque is fine. I tow a travel trailer just fine(dry about 4k, packed and with water etc around 4500-4800lbs), but wouldn't some different gears in the back up the grades around here.

Curious if the 5th gens have a magnetic oil drain plug? On my previous older vehicles that used to catch quite a bit of metal particles and some sludge. Haven't even had an oil change on my one though.

Sounds to me like a bad ground by the symptoms, I would check the ground wire from the battery to the engine block and anwhere else it splits to. However, I had a similar issue on my old 95 T4R and it was that stupid 2 piece battery connector they used. There was so much corrosion between the...
