    I like what you did with your air comp. Have you had he chance to see if it overheats? I would suspect it will be fine since ARB does the same thing.

    Was your leak similar to this? Noticed it in april and took it to the dealer since i was under warranty and they said it passed the pressure test and they could not locate a leak. Now i’m 3k miles over warranty and i’m noticing the leak again.

    We had slightly milder temps this weekend and I just happened to get the holiday off Monday so I ventured outside. I have tons of small projects lined up but a few weeks ago I purchased a new grill off of Taco Clout. I was getting bored of the Pro Grille and we all have it so I thought I would try something new. It has the typical shiny garnish cover for the radar and no camera mount. I picked up a 3D printer last fall and have been learning 3D so this was the perfect opportunity to try something new. I little work with the dremel and a few prototypes later and the camera is in. I love how it came out, super stoked I was able to make something functional.

    I got bored with the typical TRD Pro grill and picked up a new one a few weeks ago. We had a break in the rain here in VA so I got out there Sunday. This grill didn't have a camera mount but I bought a 3D printer last fall. A little dremel work and a few prototypes later and boom, done. I love the way it came out and stoked I was able to make something original and functional.

    I should have gotten out the night before to catch a few shots in the snow storm but this will do I suppose.

    Sorry I missed this. I've used it to help inflate someone's tire and my own bags but not all 4 tires after a trail. Soon. The only way I'm going to know is if it shuts off, melts through the box and falls or the fender catches fire though haha. I will tell you it gets hot AF when it's not in the case so I expect it to be even hotter inside this guy. The vents aren't huge. We'll see... maybe I can upgrade if it does

    A few weeks back I purchased the N2 Remote Start Takeover. This does what my wife's Jeep does off the lot... it prevents the truck from shutting off when you enter after a remote start. I don't use the remote start much because of the security shut-off feature and having to restart it, so when I stumbled on this, I bought it immediately. While waiting for it to arrive, I did some research on installation and found some pretty negative reviews discussing electronic malfunctions and random start/stops. That's the internet though... people don't post about something that works as it should, just when it doesn't. I installed it Sunday and so far so good. The installation was just dropping the plastic under the steering column and a few harness swaps. It probably took 15mins including the programming. Super stupid but I'm really happy with it so far. I'll report back if I start having issues with it.
