Tesla's idea was to transmit electricity wirelessly, iirc. Advantage being that you save all that money on all those expensive and ugly towers and transmission lines. Problem is, transmitted electricity (or your cell phone signal, or your tv signal, or what have you) decreases in power as the square of the distance (i forget the formula), whereas electricity sent by wire decreases linearly as a function of the resistance of the wire (Ohm's law). Can't blame politics or personality for this... it's the laws of physics.

Hmm... more laws. Laws of Physics need to be changed to make the illuminati happier.

Now you see it, now you dont lol.

I used to have tow mirrors but they create a massive forward blindspot and sucked in city driving where there are lots of bike lanes. Im more happy with regular BLIS mirrors with $5 3" convex stick ons from Canadian Tire.

Actually, looking at these photos I had the stick on mirrors on these too lol.

... and the photos wont upload... I will try later.
Sure buddy, I clearly don't see where your magic trick was applied...

Here's the storage area I'm referring to.



How the heck do you even get this to open without ramming your arm down there and not getting stuck? I was on this for the past 10 minutes and couldn't get it to open!

Thanks,

Raise the seat bottom slightly and the seat back will come forward a couple of inches. Then use a screwdriver to push the latch pin on the left side of the seat back Lock to release it down. You can also check out BuiltRight Industries F150 release.

If you go through all of those pages, you will find many posts about that. There is no reason to re-post the directions when they are described so well, and so many times, in the referenced thread, with videos.
But, I agree ONE of us apparently has reading comprehension problems. As I said above:
