    Amazon Echo Auto

    I just bought some add-a-fuse taps, so I'm going to do that for a USB outlet this weekend. Sent from my moto x4 using Tapatalk

    Amazon Echo Auto

    I bought myself an Amazon Echo Auto a few weeks ago, and the first day I had it I killed my battery. I've tried every charger combo, everything I can think of, but it still drains the battery way too fast. I have my Ham and satellite radios on an ignition power source, does anybody know if it's...

    Water in rear passenger door

    I had a stink that I just couldn't track down, and one day I was closing my passenger door and heard the water slosh around, instantly went "oh crap". Pulled the plug, let it drain and dry out, and the stink went away. Turns out it's normal! Thanks!

    Shocks and struts replacement with OE and suggested reflex

    Gabriel shocks? The $20 replacements? Total garbage. I used to sell Monroe shocks, and had a guy who built donks who intentionally went with the cheap ones because they were so harsh. It made for a better lift.

    Rust under dash? Could somebody post pics of under their dash for comparison?

    Time to spray the whole thing down with Fluid Film! Honestly, if it didn't smell so bad, it wouldn't be a terrible idea.

    Interior Led swap.

    For some reason I couldn't upload from my phone, so here's what I've got for pictures:

    Interior Led swap.

    Okay, so there are three wires, one is ground, one is hot all the time, and one is hot from the GEM when it says to be hot, so there shouldn't be a polarity issue. There may be a connection issue or a fuse someplace that's not working. I'd grab a test light and probe the connector to make sure...

    Interior Led swap.

    They may be dual-polarity. I don't remember on mine, I know that the LEDs I used had four contacts on the 194 style bulbs, but the festoon bulbs didn't. I'll run out and take a look on my lunch. I know I had issues with the rear cargo light when I added the SoundOff dome lamp, I had to tie into...

    Rear bumper protector, clear sticker type.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0XY12V/ I have this stuff on my wife's car, where the rocks kick up into the rear quarter. Makes a huge difference. I also have a patch of it under my mag mount antenna, seems to work okay there, too. It's a pain to cut through, but it takes a licking and...

    3rd row seat removal

    I'm assuming they didn't change much from the last gen to this one, it's super simple. you have to take out the rear cargo tray to get to all the bolts, but each side is only held in with four bolts plus the torx bolts for the seatbelts. Take out the rear tray, fold the seats forward and crack...

    Third Row Seat Replacement

    I've been looking for some remnant rubber flooring. Water resistant, high friction, and I think it'll cover the gap well, too. Sent from my moto x4 using Tapatalk

    Third Row Seat Replacement

    Finally got around to working on it again, got my locking hinges to keep the lids open installed. Aside from latches and a covering material, I'm pretty darn happy with this! The gap is just wide enough to allow the lid to open And you can see the piano hinge for the most rearward...

    Third Row Seat Replacement

    The great thing is that I did it to mine so you don't have to! You probably wouldn't take yours off road through the mud and the sand either, but I do. Nothing wrong with a little more utility out of a SUV. Sent from my moto x4 using Tapatalk

    Third Row Seat Replacement

    The rear piano hinge works nicely, right now I've got a Buyer's 58903 latch picked out to replace the duct tape I'm using as a handle. I think I'm going to use some 1x4 and make a lip that the latch can latch onto, and use it to mount the hinge for the far back lid. So far I like it more than...

    Third Row Seat Replacement

    I was going to build just the front box, make it even with the factory floor, but looking through other posts I realized just how much space was wasted by the factory trim. It's about the same height with the second row in cargo mode, not close enough to sleep on, but that's another project if I...

    Third Row Seat Replacement

    I was actually debating doing drawers, but with the extra space that's hidden away under all the bits and pieces for the seats I have more than enough room for what I need to store. If I was going to do drawers, I would have used 1x10 instead of the 1x6, it would have given me plenty of room to...

    I think I fixed it.

    Third Row Seat Replacement

    I finally got fed up with hauling around a 55 gallon tote of crap for search and rescue stuff that I carry, so I pulled out the third row of seats and built a little box to shove everything into. 2007 Eddie Bauer Standard wheelbase. The box ended up being about 4'x4', give or take an inch each...

    wheel well cargo area

    I just took out my third row, thinking I could fit my 55 gallon HDX tote back there in the space the seats used to occupy, but apparently I didn't factor in the slope of the second row of seats... The tote is at quite the angle! I'm going to have to build something like this with a lid that I...

    Rear wiper broke

    I've got a broken handle under that stupid arm, maybe I'll mess around with doing this while I have the thing off. That's good info to have!

    What’s with this dumb trend?

    When I was working at the Cadillac dealer, I liked the pop-up screens in the CTS and XTS (this was 2013 at the latest). They were gone except for a little bit that showed radio information, and then when you put the cars in reverse, they'd pop up and show you a pretty decent view of what was behind.

    When to turn rotors or replace?

    That black dust is probably your rotor, not your brake pad. Back when I was selling car parts, I had one customer who always bought the cheapest rotors, but the nice pads, and one day I finally upsold him on the premium rotors (they were like, $10 more than the cheap ones) for somebody with...

    power liftgate

    I bought "wholesale closeouts" from RockAuto, and finally got around to trying to replace mine this weekend. With the help of some 2x4s, I got one side in, then couldn't get the gate shut! I guess trying to save a buck cost me $30... Super easy to swap around, though.

    TV setup for tailgating

    I actually rent/sell that Honda generator, I love those little things! Super quiet and they handle way more than what they say they do.

    Drawer build...

    That's awesome! I've got a 55 gallon tote right now in the back holding all of my search and rescue gear, these drawers would be perfect to give me back a lot of my space. I like the idea of taking out the third row and sticking truck stuff there, too, but I dunno about needing to move the seats...
