    I never knew the steering had a telescopis and tilt till I read it here.
    Although the telescopic action is pretty weak with only a inch or so movement difference.
    I guess it's better than no telescopic at all.:)

    I also did not know the wheel telescoped. I'll have to check that one when I head outside.

    The tilt is rather weak and does not travel far. I have pretty average thighs and I have to squeeze it under the wheel to get in. I have it tilted all the way up. But it couldn't go much further up because it is only a couple inches from the top of the gauge panel.

    Anyway, I'll have to look into that telescoping thing.

    Not much play either way.
    I was looking for a switch or tab of some sort to operate the telescopic.
    There isnt' one.It works on the same lever as the up and down.You just pull and push.

    The wheel position is fine though I'd love it to come toward me another 1-2." I just wish I could drop the seat lol....

    Are you referring to the 6-disc changer in the radio?

    I guess it doesn't really say that its a 6-disc player but it is. Now I need to go buy 5 more CD's!

    Also, the black cup adjuster pops right out if you would rather have a larger compartment.

    Yup, 6-disc changer in there!

    I tried the flash light holder with the big 4-D mag light and it touched the bottom of the compartment. This caused it to not fully seat and it rattled around a lot. I gave up on that and ordered some clips off Amazon for the flashlight mod.

    BTW...I went home for lunch and scoped my wheel further out. That is awesome! I fit a lot better and can slide my leg under it easier. It's amazing what you can learn on this site.

    Rep to the OP for pointing this one out!
