    Removed the Radio and replaced the two push pins/clips that are part of the Radio Bezel mounting hardware that are located on each side of the Radio. After installing a '15 Radio with Nav last year I've recently developed a squeaky dash on rough terrain. Changing out these two small parts did the trick, and tightened things up. Here's the part # for the clips.image.jpgimage.jpg

    whenusing the white in particular 3-4 coats of the glossifier will help make it easier to remove bugs and also clean off dirt or grease. i didn't like it on the black it showed water spots but i'm liking it on the white

    You need to get a adjustable hitch to level that trailer out, imo.

    I do.. although they arent the best pictures.. I'll post em up in a bit.

    its not my trailer, but not needed either. the truck is weighed down and I need to add in my 2nd overload (plus a possible re-arch of the leafs), so the squat is all on me.. I need to fix that. this beast pulls BEAUTIFULLY! all thanks to @Milota95 its his amazing craftsmanship.

    what you need so many RTT's for? Running a trail side brothel or something out there? o_O

    You should send @Cascadia Tents some pics, maybe you'll make it to their FB page or website

    Does anyone else's light bars or pods make a super high pitched whining noise when on? Just installed my ditch lights and noticed it when I flipped them on.

    Drove mine about 475 miles today and averaged 20.6 miles per gallon. I am pretty happy with that considering I was driving through Atlanta GA doing 80 most of the time.

    Thanks for the input. After doing some more reading online, it seems that other people experience this but it's usually due to a bad ground. One guy said he ran his for 8 hours and it was fine. I'll probably just rewire them completely and take more time since I was a little rushed when installing them.

    No mods whatsoever!
    Flip your receiver hitch and it looks like it may be close.
