  1. RedRock bed side rails — Keeping original brackets

    The stock plastic rear Sport bumper has little metal plates bolted in at each corner to reenforce the corners, as well as some plastic brackets behind them which help hold the skin of the bumper. The RedRock bed side rail instructions say to remove and discard these pieces. Another poster here...
  2. Aux wires hookup terminal strip

    There is a product called Simple Aux, a terminal strip for easy rearrangement of the AUX switch wiring, from BadgeGlow: https://badgeglow.com/product/simpleaux/ I decided to quickly make up something similar from a basic terminal strip, a small sheet of Lexan, and some hardware. While it...
  3. Upgrade highway to AT, wider but not taller

    3.6L and 6-speed manual transmission. A lot of people do a test drive and complain about the lack of low-end torque and the touchy clutch. My truck was the same at first. We also have a Pentastar with the automatic 8 speed, and it happily putters around at 1200 RPM around town under computer...
  7. Speakers: Calm the booming bass

    My truck has the Alpine system. Replacing the 3.5" tweeters in the dash and sound bar was simple, and a great improvement in clarity. Replacing the 4" speakers in the sound bar added a little more highs in the back, but the original 4" speakers are apparently pretty good for what they are and...
