    Brought home a new 2019!

    Anybody had good luck with ebay/budget LED light pods??

    I am thinking of adding some LED pods to add a little more light when backing up to our trailer at night. I know Rigid makes some great stuff but the are priced way high... I don't want to spend more than I really have to since they are just back up lights. The Sidetrackers seem to be...

    Thinking about replacing the premium 'alpine' amp with a 77KICK45 upgrade

    I have been doing some looking and found so old posts on another forum where a guy replaced the factory 'alpine' amp with the upgraded Kicker unit. The price does not look too bad and if will add some extra power to the front doors then it might be worth the investment. I am really trying to...
