I had an '03 XLT Premium with gray lower trim. My gray trim would turn almost white, but I've used Back to Black and Bumper Black in the past. Now I use Armor All Outlast Trim & Plastic restorer. It may take a couple applications if it's really bad, but it's good stuff (although it's...

Here are a couple pics of the kit installed. This is decent for daily use, (again, better than stock) but not a track ready solution. I was hoping for a little better performance, but the don’t throw any dust and they do stop better (and the red does match the Colorado Red.

I'm an original owner of a '08 V8 AWD Adrenalin and I did a Powerstop kit from Autozone based on a recommendation I found on the ST forum. It's better than way stock, but not but not Brembo like. I had 85k and I had the dealer replace the pads and was extremely disappointed. The original...

I've had two sets of Firestones and now Coopers (circa 2016 - I think the discontinued this style which is ashamed because I really like them). Each set has been 275/45/20 and I've been very pleased with the look and ride of the size. Speedo shows 67-68 when I'm doing 70 (per GPS). They...

Sorry about the size of the photo... I should add, since there isn't an "official" Yakima setup for a Snug Top Lid, so I watched Ebay for a few months. I got the the bars, 4 locking trays, 4 wheel holders, landing pads, ski racks and wind deflector (which I didn't need) for $150.00 I...

This is what I came up with. I didn't want to drill the cover. I used 3M clear bra material under the pads, and cut heater hose where the clips attach so there is no contac with any painted surfaces. You can still open the lid with two bikes loaded (I can't when the front wheels are in the...

Click on my photo folder for a different tonneau idea. You can still open the tonneau lid with bikes loaded. I've travelled thousands of miles with one or two bikes loaded and never a problem. I've put down 3M clear bra material and use cut heater hose where the clips mount, and the rack...

Great meet! Thanks for the invite!

I will be there about 11:00 or 11:30. Will swing by an El Pollo Loco and pick up some chicken rice and beans. Thanks for the email - I would have missed it! Mike

Tonka - I've used Dependable Auto Shippers (DAS) twice and have been very pleased. You can choose Enclosed, Open, or Open Top Load (less chance of something dripping on it). Open is cheapest. Top Load was $100.00 more. Enclosed is expensive. My Lincoln LS went Top Load - my...
