    I've been using the 3m kit but it only lasts about a year. I'm hoping this will be more permanent. Looks good so far fingers crossed

    You are a lifesaver Daniel. I had both those numbers but thought they were conflicting. Now I know they are both needed.
    Let me know how your's goes. Have you done it before? If you have any advice I'm all ears.
    Have you looked for any videos on youtube?

    Spent my fun/truck money on an alpine ilx-207. Have been laboriously debating between that and an uptop overland roof rack.
    Got the alpine for $150 off & factory sealed, so that kind of forced it, but I’m still torn on if I made the right decision.

    That rack is soooo hot right now!

    This is the lock. Unfortunately the 2 pack is keyed differently. I was planning on using the second one to lock up my shovel and axe.
    Obviously bolt cutters would make easy work of this cable, but it’s a nice deterrent.

    Never enough
    I'm just looking for a cable to lock my fridge to fridge slide. Between a cable, tailgate locked and my low profile bed rack I'm hoping that's enough of a deterrent for people to leave it alone. Obviously if someone wants it bad enough they'll do whatever to take it but a visual deterrent helps. Better than nothing. Thanks! Sucks its two different keys for two lock sets...

    Honestly I only got it because it was the cheapest one, with enough reviews, and was eligible for same day delivery..... there’s probably better ones. But I’m impatient.

    You’re welcome!
    But this will be my first time doing it! I’ve watched a couple videos and it doesn’t seem difficult at all. The only part that Worries me is properly seating the new seal. Here’s a link and video I went over to get a better understanding.

    I have a stock 2010 Dbl cab prerunner and I’m looking to put a small lift and tires on it(nothing too big). Just would like to hear other thoughts and opinions on what y’all would do or recommend. Im leaning towards 3 inch lift w 285/65/18 but I’m undecided on 17s or 18s.

    Thanks

    I'll be replacing my wheel bearings here shortly and watched that video as well in preparation. Worst rust i've ever seen.

    I use these, can be had at Lowes/Home Depot/ etc because they're thicker than the one with built in locks so deters against the smaller bolt cutters at least AND I'm able to buy 4 packs of master locks all keyed alike so can switch them around for multiple uses and one key.

    Sitting here getting my trans flushed today. Asked for a look at the fluid and it looked really good. I asked about the little issue I've been having in 5th at low RPMs and he suggested maybe the torque converter lock up is having an issue. Now I have to keep an eye one that. Hoping the new fluid will take care of that issue.

    These are my 2.5 12” smoothies for my shock relocate. And to be honest I sort of cheated....

    I was in week 10 of ~20 of my wait for these through Accutune, when I found a pair in stock at PolyPerformance.com, whom also does in house custom valving. So I ordered them straight away.

    My Deavers should be here tomorrow and hopefully my relocate can get done next week. I’m psyched to get my rear end done.
