    Made a real difference in the sound coming from the doors. More solid and tighter mid bass. Doors have a nice weight to them when shutting. Not difficult at all, just invest in some thin cloth gloves, it really tears your knuckles up. Only advise, other then the gloves, when laying the film on the inner side of the door work with small pieces and make sure your surface is clean. GL

    Out of all the things I did for my sound system, sound deadening made the biggest difference in my opinion. Its not very hard to do at all

    Fixed my driver side window. For a couple months now my window would make a 'clunk' noise when rolling it down anywhere from like the very top to maybe a couple inches down. I feared the worse and thought the tab that is glued to the glass so it can connect to the track came undone. I shut my eyes and prayed it would still work or magically the problem would go away. Obviously that did not work. One day I finally heard something metal fall down to the bottom of the inside of my door whilst rolling my window down. Weirdly, the noise was the same and the window still worked.

    Yesterday I finally got around to taking the door panel off and removing part of that inner plastic lining to poke around. I could see the most rear window track wheel would come off the track when I rolled the window all the way up, and when rolling it down it would like slam back onto the track (the 'clunk'). I also noticed there was a bolt missing from that most rear window track wheel. So, I removed my front door speaker so I could slide my hand all the way inside the door, feeling around blindly I found the fallen bolt. Popped that guy back in its home and bam, all works like new! Love when problems turn out to be nothing major. Just wish I would've looked into this sooner.

    Thanks to @crashnburn80 recommendation I picked up the @Diode Dynamics SS3 light kit for our 2014 DCSB. Did the anytime fog lights mod the other day and just put these in today. Will have some night shots later.

    Yeah, I think @crashnburn80 gave them a lot of business in the last month. I've seen several people post their new fog lights recently, including myself. Money well spent!

    Like you guys said, I jacked it up and checked for play (up/down with pry bar under wheel, and trying to move the wheel with my hands at 6-12 and 3-9) and found nothing at all. I wiped the grease away and there didn't seem to be cracks... Not sure what to check next. It's a weird thing that I'm trying to troubleshoot, it almost feels like when you pull the tilt steering lever and move the steering wheel up and down but vibrating as well. I only feel it going overs bumps or rough gravel/dirt roads. Maybe it's nothing. Anyway, thanks for the input.

    It might be the steering shaft. Check the out the zip tie mod. I was getting the same type of vibrations on rough roads and this helped a lot. YMMV
