    PC Builds - Show-off and discussion.

    Where the custom PC guys at? Thinking about building one. I built one back in the days of the GTX 6XX days. Thought I'd given up PC gaming so I ended up buying a NUC to mount to the monitor. That didn't last long... ended up with a Razer Core X Chroma and GTX1080 Hybrid as an eGPU setup. This...

    Ditch Light Mount - Pollen collects and cakes up on hood.

    Got the @ragofabrication Low Profile Ditch Light Mounts. Right underneath them pollen just collects there and gets caked. Anyone else have that happen? Thought maybe if someone else has them I could see if you have them mounted at any specific angle. Maybe mine need turned or something to...

    Electric Scooters?

    Anyone have one and mod them? I figured it was dumb to start the truck to walk a 1/4 mile to and from my mailbox. Walking is 3-4 mph. Scooter goes 18mph and I could fit a homie behind me. I was looking at mods and saw they are out there. A lot of them are on French forums. Seeing if anyone...

    UCA's and Caster

    For UCA's without caster adjustment, I see they mention caster is built in to accommodate for the needed caster. Does that mean just swapping them out creates more positive caster or the truck still needs to be aligned to utilize the "extra" caster? I get that it will need an alignment. But if...

    VFTuner - Question for people that own it.

    Review AAWireless - Wireless Android Auto Dongle

    10/10 recommend. If you want to get rid of the wire with your wired Android Auto Head Unit this is the way to do it. Plugged in, 1 minute to set it up and 2 settings options later I'm satisfied. That's rare for me. I didn't want to plug my phone in and have a wire running around. My previous...

    Undercoat and Ceramic Coating

    Anyone have these services done? Whether it's from the dealer, a specialty shop or Amazon kit. Shops charges some nutty prices and I've seen those bottles where you can apply it yourself. Even if not professionally done, is there any benefit? Doesn't last as long or apply more frequently...

    SOLVED - Mystery Part - Rear Panel

    It's been a mystery to me and I haven't gotten an answer. They showed up when I ripped my entire interior out. I can't tell if they are from the truck or if they were part of some packaging with a bunch of parts I received. Either the rear panel behind the seats or from inside the door trim...

    Recommendations on Adjustable Beds?

    Looking at adjustable beds. Have a Tempurpedic Tempur-Cloud Supreme Mattress now. Didn't want to give up the mattress yet. But I guess a split-king would be a good idea. Is it all just a novelty? Would be nice to sit up a bit to watch TV. I snore. Severe sleep apnea. Can't keep the CPAP on. So...

    Morimoto X3B10 3rd Brake Light

    Why they do this now? Wanted to upgrade the TBL since I swapped all the other stuff to Morimoto. But they launch this late when I don't even like the truck anymore. Kind of looks tacky. Who's gonna get one and tell me how the install is? I already removed my headliner once. Source...

    Custom Keyboards - Modding

    I just liked Logitech since back in the day. Had their basic stuff growing up. When I got into completive gaming I ran a G510 and MX510. Upgraded to a MX518. Still going strong. Gave up gaming for a long time. So I grabbed a G512 and a G915 TKL both with brown switches. Bought some double shot...

    Tire Pressure - Daily Driving

    Does tire size dictate the tire pressure? What size tires do you have and what pressure do you run for daily driving? I'm on 265/75/16. It seems to sit at 32psi. Was at 36psi when it was warmer out. Should you go higher if you have more weight?

    Reference: Replacing Front and Rear Suspension

    I've never done a suspension on a truck. I've worked on cars and bikes. I had a shop do the 5100's the first time. Weight and soft springs lead to annoying rubbing. Thought I'd give it a try. My garage is too small. Parents are out of country for 2 weeks. Figured I'd take advantage of their...
