  1. Tow Brake Controller Quandry

    Help, please, from experienced tow-ers! My trailer is a 2,300 lb conventional travel trailer. It is a single-axle with electric brakes. I towed it well over 5,000 miles with the Mav last season, with no issues other than not-great gas mileage due to the high profile. I do have the 4K tow...
  2. Deer collision damage results in $6k repair. Insurance lessons learned

    I had a night collision with a fairly small deer a little before Christmas (a rude gift). I saw it suddenly coming onto the road; slammed the brakes but was not able to slow down enough to avoid it. The road was not obviously icy, but I think I did skid a bit. It hit squarely in the front...
  3. Smashed radiator fins

    I'm not sure exactly how this progressed over my nearly 15,000 miles of ownership, because I didn't notice it until the midst of a cross-country trip a couple weeks ago, which is when I took this photo.

  5. Tailgate assist top mounting plate twists clockwise

    I installed the tailgate assist some time ago and just noticed today that the upper mounting plate (the one that attaches to the body of the truck) had twisted clockwise a bit - that is, the bottom of the plate swung out towards the back of the truck. The shock of the assist doing its job...
  6. Madat tailgate damper

    I realize there are already two other damper threads on the front page of this forum right now - popular topic! I want one too, but not for anything close to $50, at least without trying the cheapest possible first. So I just ordered this one, which is even less expensive than the Dee-Zee...
  7. Another rear seat removal - tips & photos

    With no aftermarket rear seat "delete" kits apparently available (yet), I took it upon myself with a sheet of 3/4" plywood. There's another thread out there from someone who used a 4'X2' sheet and just bolted it down into the seatbelt floor anchors. My solution took considerably longer because...
