    When you go to the selfservice car wash they have these big clips on the wall usually in each wash bay. You hang up the mat and hose it down with the high pressure spray and that cleans them up quickly.

    I can't say how good the kicker key 200 is. I have the upgraded kicker speakers and tweeters for a while and it was an improvement just with the stock headunit but it still seemed like it needed more power.

    I put an Alpine Powerpack amp in mine. The Alpine power pack is 45watts RMS x 4 channels so close in power to the kicker key but a little more simplified. The difference in power even with out s subwoofer is a huge improvement.
    I have a powered subwoofer I had in a previous vehicle I have the wires run for and will probably finish up installing this week.

    That's what you get for living north of the wall up in Canukistan. On the bright side you have better healthcare and British Columbia. :D

    That’s slick with the side car style. What’s the reason you put that in there? I’m sure you carry on your person, I’d be concerned someone seeing an empty holster thinking there is a gun in the vehicle.

    Try a company called LLOD (Last Line of Defense). It's a single guy out in Colorado that does some 3D printing on the side. I follow a lot of his material on YouTube, lots of good content.

    He makes a single belt clip holster. I find it a lot more comfortable than the double belt clips. I use it with the Blue Alpha belt and it works great. Here's a pic. G19 MOS with TLR7A and extra 15 round mag. I plan on adding a red dot soon. This is my EDC and it's comfortable.

    Rounds should always be facing towards the gun, it just doesn’t work the other way. Try grabbing a magazine in both configurations and you will see grabbing the magazine with your finger indexing the top round will be the most efficient movement. Having the rounds face to your left for a right hand shooter, makes grabbing the magazine very awkward.

    I carry all the time, that's a backup type holster for long drives, or alternate storage. The gun goes with me when I park the truck.

    Rack is super solid. I unfortunately stripped one of the screws on the roof, but got enough bite that it's still rock solid. Once I get the harness, going to install some rock lights.

    I have lost so many of these bolts in the past 2.5 years. Just bought a set of 30 for like $11
    upload_2021-12-29_9-16-21.jpg

    I see your logic, but I have it set up the way I would grab the mag. I would pull it between my thumb and middle finger, with the pointer falling on the front side of the mag. perfect position to insert into the mag well. No worries though, to each his own.

    You can never have enough of those. I took the air dam off of mine and put all of the bolts back in the holes. A couple weeks later I hit a deer. When I picked the truck up from the body shop I never checked. Sure enough...new bumper cover, no air dam....and no bolts. I am going to order them as well, thanks for posting.

    what are those fender flares? Maybe it's me but they don't look factory. It looks a lot better than the bushwacker style with the rivets IMO. Nice looking truck

    When I put my wheels and tires on, due to the bigger tires and -12 offset, the poke was kicking up all types of debris onto the truck. Since I'm not a huge fan of mudflaps, I found RDJ truck smooth fender flares. I wanted a wider flare, but with an OEM type appearance. They were completely plug and play, and for some extra coin, they color matched them pretty good. Now the edge of my tires, meet up perfectly with the edge of the flare. What I also like is the RDJ flares actually wrap under the bumper for a more finished look. If you notice, the stock flares just sort of end. Always thought that looked awkward. Below are some before and after pics. Here's a link to RDJ as well.

    Yeah it’s easy when you have a good system. I carried a tier1 for the longest I think the sidecar balanced the weight out. Been running a las concealment now.
    How did you screw it to the molle? Doesn’t seem like much room to be able to hold a screw there

    So you grab your magazine in more of an underhand grip indexing the front of the bullet vs grabbing and overhand grip then rotating your hand ? I know it’s hard to picture lol
