How are the maps on that head unit?

I use Google Maps with my phone as a hotspot for the internet connection so they are great if you like using Google Maps. Its just an Android OS so it can use any navigation app I choose.

Overhead light bar, bed lights, and she'll be done.

Washed and waxed her today! Just used turtle wax, does anyone have any suggestions on removing slightly deep scratches?

Get an orbital D/A polisher and check out some you-tube video's.
Lots of good tutorials..... and the orbital wont damage the paint like a rotary could.
If they are minor you might be able to rub them out by hand.
Try Meguiar's #2 fine cut cleaner, followed by #7 show car glaze....
A little elbow grease could save you the cost of the polisher.
Good luck

Default So it was misfiring accelerating under light load.

Changed the spark plugs. They weren't all gummed up, but the electrode was significantly worn down causing the gaps to be .070 and higher:



Got all 8 out without breaking any:



Took about 4-5 hours. Stumble/misfire completely gone. Yay!

Started getting a bad misfire in the middle of my drive to work this morning, was really humid out so thought it was related, bad spark plug boot maybe, misfire cyl 6... Replaced the boot and swapped the coils between 5 and 6 to see if the code moved... No change... Thought it surely couldn't be spark plugs, I just replaced those, why would one fail randomly? Also was getting a lean bank 2 code, so thought maybe a fuel injector... Swapped the injectors on 5 and 6, no change... So finally decided to swap the plugs between 5 and 6, and what do you know? The code moved to cyl 5. So the 2nd Autolite plug failed since swapping the plugs in July... I'll never buy Autolite again.

Look forward to seeing light bar, I've talked myself out of it
