Added a neodymium magnet to the steering column to hold the key fob still. $18 and a piece of double sided tape. The fob sticks right to it and does not bang around any more.   The magnets were

Got my new air freshener!

 

Actually used to buy these all the time back in my "fast and furious" days :driving: and I always loved the smell.

Anyone know where to get a short antenna that has equal or possibly better reception than the long ugly stock one?

 

Right now, mine is only removed, but I'm going to put mine under the hood and install at least one hidden antenna.

I scored mine for 30 on eBay a while ago. I love em.

 

Great quality tie-downs - use mine daily..... Leave bungy cords hooked from tie-down to tie-down for handy use.

Ha, glad I'm not the only one who does this. Except I have my ratchet strap tie downs going from one tie-down point to the other. Keeps them from getting tangled up and don't have to dig them out of the box/storage area.

Added aftermarket rear park assist since I found a color matched rear bumper with the holes for it. I have to use some 3/4" knockout bushings for electrical boxes and trim them down a bit as the sensors where too small to fit in the holes where the factory sensors are. I don't think it looks to bad really and from 3' away you wouldn't know they weren't factory unless you knew what you were looking at. I did hit the bushings with some plastidip and glossifier before installing them. What do you guys think. The kit was $16 on amazon and it works really well. I am going to install the upfitter switches with the park assist button so it functions as close to factory as possible.

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
