    My trim (the plastic which runs around the base of my truck) is black (painted aftermarket in matte black which I love) but is beginning to fade and chip and white is showing through. Think If I did it up with this plast-dip everyone's raving about it would hold? J

Part of their service is they hook the truck of up some machine, and the machine indicated I have too much freon and that as such the a/c is struggling to convert the liquid to gas. The guy says I'm probably losing 2-3 degrees because of it...

    how to connect my speed sensor from my GPS

    OK so when I had my Pioneer system installed, the guy did a great job, except he refused to connect the speed sensor to the computer because he says he's been held responsible in the past for frying folk's computers. I did convince him to run the wire, but right now it's just sitting there...

    Brand new Spacer Mesh front seat covers (black)

    My mom (God bless her) ordered me these seat covers as a gift. Problem is, I don't want them lol. As such I figured rather than pay the 15% restocking fee that carcoverplanet.com wants to charge me to return them, I'd pass the savings onto someone here.

    for those with a CCW, where do you keep your sidearm?

    Guess it would differ by state law. Here in FL with a CCW it can be anywhere in the vehicle. Without a CCW it may not be within "immediate access" of the driver, whatever that means. In my last truck I had a paddle holster mounted on the inside of my center console on the left side. Pretty much...
