    I agree, it is a bit laggy. And connection can be finicky. Overall, not a bad app but it's not a true replacement for something like and Ultra Gauge. It's just a lot cheaper.
    I've actually come to quite like the buttons on the back. Sucks on a table, but otherwise it makes sense. I've used kii keyboard for a while. so I don't even know what the V10 one looks like. But I love having numbers on top. I remember when you had to pay extra in 3rd party apps for that...

    Any recommendations for a replacement side view mirror on an '03?

    One that doesn't wobble/vibrate or have distorted glass/mirror.

    My friend's daughter accidentally ripped it off his truck as she was backing out of the garage.

    I'm on my phone so I can't effectively search. Thanks.

    I've bought a few things from 1A Auto and have been very satisfied. They have replacement mirrors for around $50 for the larger style, and $35 for the smaller. Here's their warranty info:
    This item is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. In the event this item should fail due to manufacturing defects during intended use, we will exchange the part free of charge (excludes shipping charges) for the original purchaser. Please keep your invoice for proof of this warranty.

    Thanks. I know rockauto is hit or miss on their replacement mirrors.

    I'll forward this on as a possibility.

    Any chance you ever need to drive with your tailgate down? If so, there's your answer.

    My swingout can be taken off in about 5 minutes. For the few times that is a necessity, it's not a hassle to remove it.

    Not too sure. I think they are still 11.5/12 wide which I would think probably 4" and lower!

    I'm on stock wheels plus 1.25" spacers, so 3.25" backspacking, and I just ever so lightly rub the frame at full lock. Wouldn't want any less than that.

    Or neither. There is a third option. You can simply modify the stock spare tire holders to allow a bigger tire. 33" tire should not be an issue. Thats what I will do, when I go to 33's. Additionally, I would go with a 33x9.50, so it doesn't hang down so low.

    Only down-side, is you won't have the blingy coolness factor of a swing-out, to show off to your buddies. :D

    Maybe I'll fab something so that I can add a removed swing out to my stock bumper. :anonymous:

    Sometimes it's more than just to allow a bigger tire. I plan on doing a swing out so I can run longer shocks without cutting into the bed. And I don't want to leave my spare in the bed because it takes up valuable space. So enter the swingout! :D

    The only tire close to 33x9.5 is 255/85r16. Very limited tire choice

    What would be the best way to install TC UCA's? As in getting the Uni-Ball into the spindle?

    You mean slug adapter into the spindle? I used a shop press, they went in very easily.
