Ah, that actually explains a lot. I have a Carlinkit wireless adapter in my car that was working great, then just stopped reliably connecting. I wrote it off as cheap junk from Asia. HB

My Glad is my 6th or 7th truck. Other than a brief visit from the Death Wobble (defective steering damper) the “ride” both in comfort and handling perspectives has been fine, and as good as the other truck predecessors. I just spent four hours this afternoon on errands that included several...

Thanks everybody. Shift, Carplay is wired through the USB port along with the charging circuit. I’ve only used the MagSafe for charging, both my watch and phone. I don’t really know enough about the technology but it struck me that unless the Magsafe connection also handled data like USB...

I will repost my picture from last year. And I will add, we just had our first (and hopefully last) snow storm of a whopping 2”, living on the coast has its advantages. And again I will state for the record, “That’s it, I‘m done with winter, can we go boating soon?”. HB

I’m thinking of upgrading my phone mount from the bulletpoint clamp mount to their charging MagSafe mounts. Their literature notes that some vehicle USB ports don’t support the standard that makes MagSafe charging work, and they put it off on the buyer to find out. I tried my dealership and...

Long time boat owner‘s perspective. Correct the exposed plastic won’t rust. However the white plastic could very likely degrade from UV & moisture exposure. Regardless of the aesthetic, I would (and as a hardtop owner will, if need be) seal any scratches that expose the white base plastic...

Yup, been there done that, and had to replace the couch. He is a good looking boy though. Are you fostering him, or is he now home? Either way, good luck to you on that front. it could be a challenge. We did it many years ago with a greyhound. It was a boat load of work, but well worth it...

It looks like aluminum, what are you using for a welding setup? That’s a lot of real estate to TIG.

The Tazer updating process is web based. There is no local operating system app involved. The only difference between using a Tazer on a Mac and a PC is in the user interface appearance. So if you have a newer iPad with a USB-C port, all you should need is a cable that matches the Tazer’s port...

Very nice. Do the existing covers just unzip like it looks like they do?

I ran into the same thing a few years ago. Our home is on a property that at one time was a cherry orchard and we have a number of now very large and semi wild cherry trees. When we bought the property we had a number cut down to clear things out. I wanted to get them rough sawn into blanks...

The grate tables are teak. The solid tables were mahogany and walnut, and mahogany and holly. All of the tables were solid wood, no veneers. The grates were all half lap cut joints and tenoned into mortises on the frame. I duplicated the construction technique from wooden sailing ships. I...

That on your jeep, or another vehicle?

The factory LEDs on my wife’s Audi, my Porsche and our Gladiator don’t retain snow. If you convert a HID headlight to LED snow is going to accumulate because the original bulbs generate enough heat to take care of any weather related issues.

Some tables for boats I’ve made over the years.

Damn, i never even thought of that. I am still getting used to this it’s ok to take the doors and roof off thing.

My built for me 22 Sport S put together in June 22 does not have one either. I discovered it in the identical way as the OP, doing a side by side comparison with a JL. My dealer was either a little more diplomatic, or may have gotten the straight story. At the next service I mentioned it...

Well said, I spent forty five years in commercial transportation, many in heavy vehicle design and maintenance & repair. Back then there was a valid place for stuff like this, no longer because engines are being designed for use with lower viscosity lubricants for a number of reasons...

A pallet of pellets is too much for the glad. That said, I've worked out a deal with my supplier who lets me do two runs and his yard crew hand loads the truck for me. They just set my pallet down out of the way in between trips. It does mean two trips on the same day, but I get the ton price...

Stop trying to do this while looking at it. Do it by feel and be patient. If you have the extension cable coming, wait for that. This way you can see what the plugs look like and better visualize what you need to do. Also get something to kneel on, open the drivers door and you can kneel...
