  1. The new trucks time out and shut off after 10 or 15 minutes if in park, even with the fob in the truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I agree with you. I came from a 14 with the basic key fob app avail for free for 5 years. Was pretty annoyed to find even the basic part of the app not avail unless you pay on the 19. That said, the 9.99 is a package, just not advertised. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. No. Only if in park. A common way to avoid the vehicle shutting off while idling is to pop the trans into neutral and keep your parking brake on. I wouldn’t do this, but it works. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. you have to ask for it, but the basic key fob part of the app is avail for 9.99 a month. i still won't pay for it, but it is an option over the cheapest advertised package.
  5. They're definitely a pain top get off. not hard, but annoying and tedious. once you figure out the angle and tools for each of the 4 top down bolts, it moves faster. for me, it was frustrating and time consuming, but once you get a method down for each bolt, it goes faster. i probably spent a little over an hour total getting them off, but a lot of that was getting back up off the ground to get tools from the garage. the combo of box end wrench, and a socket/wrench with different extensions does work though. going back on was much faster. i scuffed mine up very well with a sanding sponge and painted them with high temperature paint, but it started flaking within a few weeks. it was more of a trial to see if i liked how they looked and will be taking them back off to get powder-coated soon. this was one of the few mods that non-car guys at work commented on and complimented. I will say that even scuffed up, the brushed steel/aluminum look was more desirable than the stock chrome. at least to me.
  6. That’s exactly the picture I was looking for. Thanks for the picture and replies. I think this will Be the one I order. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. i appreciate the reply. the chevy link states they are vinyl. you mentioned yours are plastic. i prefer vinyl as i don't want a raised plastic object with visible edges. yours looks the best in my opinion so far though. love the black on black.
  8. Are these BD trims? and if so, are these the flat or domed? thanks in advance!
  9. I may have missed it when reading through all posts, but have any solid rear windows been found to leak? my 2014 had the power sliding rear and would have a few drops make their way in center of the sliding section during high pressure washes, but less than 10% of the time. not bad enough to think twice about. I now have a 19 trail boss with the solid rear window and curious if anyone with the same window has found any leaks. Ive had the truck for 2 weeks now and its been far too cold here in ND for any liquid form of h2o ha.
  10. Same setup I have but just a different tire. everything fits fine and they really fill the wheel wells nicely. Post pics when they're on! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Yours look great. I probably have 10 to 15 coats on my cars wheels and I don't use much to keep them looking nice so I've never noticed any weakening but thanks for the heads up. I also use the armor all tire gel but found the turtle ice interior spray works great. I also use it on my tires to keep them black but I don't use tire shine on the tires themself. I rub a little into the rubber to keep the tires moistened and black, but then wipe down to eliminate shine. Just my personal preference. Plasti has such a bed rep because so many people don't take the time to do a good job. Nice to see another set of great looking wheels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I misread your post but the plasti info is there for anyone who needs it ha. I only have one other picture of my truck and its in my garage at an angle. Ill take a few side shots soon.
  13. It looks great if you do it right and take your time. many many light coats with time to dry in between. The wheels on my daily driver focus ST have been done for almost 2 years and 30k miles. every six months or so I do another two coats as needed and always remove wheels and use playing cards or index cards in the bead so that there is no overspray. I also do the barrel of the wheel so everything looks uniform and "normal". every week or two, I've found that interior cleaning spray or even tire gel.. anything oil based, works great to being back the deep black color and really keeps the finish looking nice. Many people cant believe that my wheels are plasti-dipped because the finish is so smooth and even.
  14. I finally got my tires in from tire rack and my motofab 2" level blocks in that I picked up for 39.99 on amazon. got the blocks installed alone in a little under 2 hours last Wednesday night, and got the 275/70/18 general grabber at2's mounted and the truck aligned up Friday morning. Really happy with how everything turned out. Didn't think it would look lifted but its very notable. Much more than I expected. I like the firmer ride and it actually feels like a solid truck to me now. I also removed the front air dam and coated the wheels with plasti as protection for the winter.
  15. I've spent a week slowly reading through every page and post. lots of awesome looking trucks. I've made my mind up on some 275/70/18 Grabber AT-2's for my double cab lt stock wheels and fully planned on doing the rc 2" front only level. I know the tires would easily fit with the level, but i think I read somewhere in here that they might fit without? As i was reading, I hadn't made up my mind on what i wanted to do yet, but i don't feel like reading though all that again! Any input of this would be greatly appreciated. I'd love not to alter the suspension at all but if I have to, it outweighs how much i don't want 265/65/18's and the sr-a's have to go soon.
