I am scheduled to have a tri-fold tonneau and a spray-in bedliner installed in early December. I'm doing it through a local company that is very well regarded. The truck is primarily for hauling me and guitars; it's not going to be doing any construction work. Someone on another thread pointed...
Does the OBD2 port shut off? I had a FIXD sensor in the OBD2 port on my wife's Nissan, which she rarely drives. lt was on all the time - in retrospect I should have known, because I kept picking it up on my phone - and it drained the battery. But I really like the look of this one.
I'm thinking of spending all my Ford Pass points on a dashcam from Ford. I've read a couple of threads, so I may check out BestBuy first. For one thing, my dealership - whom I love - has never installed one.
Here's the question: Where does it go? How is it wired without messing with the...
Final note on pickups in Colombia.
There are a lot of Renault crewcabs in Medellin. They actually look pretty good. The Renault website says the pickup was unveiled here in Medellin.
But the most interesting vehicle I saw was in Bogota. It was a Fiat crewcab. Except the cab looked almost like an...
Last night I had my wife talk to the Chevy representative about the Montana. I didn't get in it; it didn't seem fair to take his time to no purpose. But we learned that the model pictured above costs about $29K US. I have no way to know how it's appointed, but it' appears pretty simple in...
Homies:
I'm in Colombia while my siblings are driving my new XLT Hybrid.
The first time I saw a compact crewcab pickup was a Nissan Frontier owned by a friend from Mexico. He told me such pickups were popular in Latin America.
They sure are; I see lots of them as we walk around this city.
But...
So, I picked up my Maverick last Thursday. Tonight we are heading to South America for over a month. Family members will be around (and probably will want to drive the Mav), but is there anything I should do to keep the 12 volt battery happy while I'm gone?
Thanks.
The fiddle rides in the cab. It's got that little post in it, and with my luck, it would fall out. The mandolin (a 1919 Gibson) is, well, in need of repair. It doesn't get out of the shop until it's playable, and I move with glacial speed. And the mics are skinny. I'll just lay them on top.
For...
When my wife and I were first dating, I was driving a Subaru sedan and playing (or trying to play) upright bass. I would put the bass in the passenger's seat with the seat back lowered, and the future wife would sit in the rear seat behind me. She married me anyway. No accounting for taste.
Oh, my, those look nice. Alas, I only have 25, which never feels like quite enough. I'll be coming through your neck of the woods next spring, I think. An old bandmate lives in Seattle, and it's time to go see him and make some noise. Lemme know if you're gigging around Portland - I'll be...
I have this tee shirt. On the back there's a picture of a hand with crossed fingers. My wife is from South America, so I had to explain that to her. Not sure she was amused, but the bruises have faded. She once asked me why I needed more than one guitar, because I could only play one at a time...
