Yep! It's essentially a tablet. It comes preloaded with Netflix but you can download any streaming app and have it play on the screen. There is an option to allow videos to play while the vehicle is in motion.
Stop it, just stop. You're making me wanna buy one! ;-)

Nah, it’s pretty simple. This was my second time doing this. Toughest part is waiting for the expiry to dry.

I used electrical potting compound
What did you pot with? How long to cure before reassembly? Don’t want to put my car out of commission very long
It takes 12-24 to fully cure. I pulled both sensors out, potted them and then put it back together the next day. There’s a really good write up on the JL page about the process. You will need the compound and 3 qts of diff fluid. Having a T20 torx screwdriver makes it easier so you don’t have to remove the right side cap bolts.

Thanks, I’ve been following but don’t know much about different compounds and was hoping for a quicker cure so it can be a one day project.
I’ve potted other things in JB weld (for electric homebrewing) and that worked but that’s different than a differential

1st time in the full nude! Hit the lakes looking at all the rich people‘s lake places. That and I love to look at all the different vehicle you see at the lakes. LOL

I have the same color (I think) and now I know how mine would look nude. Makes me want to find a reason to make it happen.

I realize it is just elevation in the pic but I loved the raked look. I am considering doing a lift in the back that is about .5 to 1 inch higher than the front. As a kid I used to love the hot rod trucks where the back was higher than the front.

Chipping away at moving from the Clayton Ride Right to full Premium. Swapped the rear upper poly bushing mounts for Johnny Joints and Installed the front lower control arms (also with JJ). All that's left is 2 sets of JJ (rear lower, front upper) and the changeover will be complete.

First time using the M18 gen 3 with the high output HD12 battery. Control arm bolts were a breeze with it.

Does anyone ever need an excuse to get nude? LOL. I initially had a TeraFlex level kit but then switched to the Iron Rock Offroad 2” spacer lift. Could not be happier with the decision. Little rake looks good.

Please post a comparison. I’ve been leaning towards Johnny joints for flex and thinking they’d last longer than rubber joints like Metalcloak or Clayton Giiro joints, but I probably don’t rock crawl enough to justify that!

Anyone that needs bed rack lights they should try these. I was skeptical because they were only 57 dollars for all 5? They are actually pretty decent, they also have a 2yr warranty lol. I didn't wire them yet, only tested them with an external power source. I'm waiting for other things for the rack before I wire all the accessories.
