When my transmission was still learning, even in normal mode that shift was inappropriately violent and poorly timed. In the wet or in mixed winter conditions, there would have been no way to safely drive the truck. That lurch was easily enough to break traction under those conditions. It's...

All of my Jags have been a waaaaaaaaaay better initial quality and ownership experience. 🤣

I started with steel runway pieces, and eventually moved to aluminum variants to save weight. I haven't often used Maxtrax products, and I've never personally owned any, but the next traction aids I get will be theirs. It's time to update, at this point. I wasn't super impressed, at first, in...

The base audio system in my 2019 GTI was better than the B&O system in my Raptor. 🤣

The input and output connectors can be the same for both, depending upon application. Generally, in mobile audio, RCA is used for line level. Dealing with factory systems, however, it can be anything. The reason RCA is going to be more common for line level (low level) signals is rejecting...

I was in the middle of typing that I had wondered about that. 🤣 I doubt they tested any truck frames to failure. It doesn't take much hardware to handle the load, though, so long as it's chosen properly. How it mounts to the frame is important, but I haven't looked underneath mine to check.

I suspect they had to test something if they're selling recovery points with a specified load limit. I would imagine they did as much thinking as they could and then sent a few off for testing elsewhere. They'd need some way to verify their assumptions. I could almost swear I've seen that...

On red paint indicating it's got a load limit: If there is a specified and tested load limit, it should be forged or stamped right into the metal. Aftermarket manufacturers can, at times, be a little cavalier in regard to their load limits. There's stuff that will get the job done, and...

It costs about the same as a 50/50* paint job. *Paint that looks good at 50 feet or 50mph.

One of those looks to have a hell of a lot more heat sink than the other.

That film looks great! I'd like to have a matte finish, but my truck is white. It would just look like worn paint. 🤣

I won't pretend to yet know how all of these irritatingly numerous computer systems are interconnected, but it might be a good idea to bring it back to stock, in that regard, for diagnostics. That said, maybe someone here has the answer just ready to go; or maybe it's a not a possibility at all.

Buy a nice hat you like, visit an embroidery shop, and give them whichever sort of file they request. You'll be able to get exactly what you want, and of the quality for which you're willing to pay. The same shop will likely be able to print a shirt for you.

Silicone will hold up for a very long time, and can be incredibly difficult to remove, depending on what you're sealing.

I've washed and tumble dried both of my keys, at this point, and they still work fine. 🤣 It's interesting that water spray near the vehicle would cause issues.

According to Uncle Sam and what's supposed to be normal practice, that's a Class 1 leak. If it's beading, it's a Class 2. If it's on the ground it's a Class 3. Class 1 leaks should be observed regularly, but shouldn't appear after a measly year or two and 10,000 miles; certainly not on a...

We died more often in collisions.

I'd prefer having a silver option. I ended up with white because it was available near me, but like my GTI in White Silver Metallic, my overly sensitive eyes prevent me from looking at it easily in direct sunlight. 🤣

Whatever you do on your truck, I'd suggest a spray-in liner. Pretty much every accessory on the market assumes you have a spray-in.

I would not have thought that possible within reason. It's very good work.
