    I would call it a boulder chip. Helluva gash there.

    Fantastic suspension!

    At least you found the issue before sinking more money into it!, and it’s good to laugh at yourself every so-often…

    There are posts about the compressor being rebranded eBay units. Before I pulled the trigger, this one has a pressure switch that shuts the unit off, the copies don't. The biggest plus is the hose kit. I priced a similar hose kit from MoorAir but the hoses were connected to manifold w/o disconnects. That kit was $224 shipped but if you wanted the manifold with quick disconnects, you added $100. That's $324 for hoses. I priced out building another from scratch but the materials sent the diy price over $200 using hose clamps. One big plus with the hose kit I got is the hose ends are repairable. Not so with others. I wanted to love the ARB but I had so many issues with mine. Plus, it wasn't that fast.
    I will air down to 18 & back up to 35 on Sunday & see how long it takes to do all 4 tires.

    I have what I think is the older version of that, the napa brand one (maxitrax). Did the pressure sensor and quick disconnect mod to it and it's been great! I've used it quite a few times after beach trips and let a few random people use it to air up. Everyone thinks it's awesome! I think I bought it on sale for like $90 right before napa discontinued them

    Ended up taking off the AVS low profile window visors. I just couldn't take it any longer. Windows are tinted to 20%. At night, that combined with the visors made that section of the window unusable as far as vision was concerned. Almost feels like I got a new truck again and now I can see a lot more.

    I've never understood the purpose of those and yet so many folks seem to do them ASAP. Is it to reduce wind noise when you partially crack the window?

    I used to use them to get fresh air when it was raining. I had the same issue with window tint on the old truck and never put them on my new truck. I don’t miss them.

    Ah, I'm a staunch believer in leaving the AC on "auto" and letting it figure it out. :bananadance:

    I put them on to be able to crack the windows when it's hot out and I'm away from the truck at work. They won't let the rain in if it rains. Truck definitely felt cooler when I would get back in it after work. Also, for smokers (not myself) you can ash out of the cracked window and it won't let rain in. For me, being able to see more/better takes priority. Sitting stopped at a light and wanting to look at the traffic light to see when it will turn yellow required ducking my head down to be able to see it. That also bugged the crap out of me.

    The new truck can do that, but in 09, that was not an option

    Found out I washed my spare key last night :( it all lights up when I push the buttons, but it doesnt unlock or lock with the buttons. It does lock and unlock when the touch the door handle and it starts the truck just fine.

    Not the OP.
    I have always installed vent shades on all of my vehicles. In summer they reduce heat buildup inside the cab while parked and you can have the windows slightly open even when it rains. Also, I like having the window ajar when driving around in town for fresh air without getting the wind noise or direct sunlight on my face.

    Take it apart and blow out with compressed air.

    I did, I cleaned it all out, and put in a new battery already. Im going to let it sit for awhile. I dont use that key much, so im not terribly concerned if the buttons dont work. Just annoying.

    I imagine "electronics" are fried but the RFID chip is still good since those are "sealed", but when i Swapped my OEM casing over the a Meso case, i didn't see the RFID chip (it was a separate piece on my old honda fit key).

    Some say to put it in a bowl and cover top and bottom with rice for 24 hr. Apparently the rice absorbs the moisture. Can't hurt to try.
