    Yea, non JBL system. NVX worked well, there are a lot of very similar options. The listed power for the amp is pretty conservative and it does just fine. No DSP yet.

    Yuuuup! I think once you start you realize the truck is stronger than your will haha
    It’ll live…

    You gotta wash that BMC all the time now…I’d do anything to see my entire undercarriage look that fresh!

    with the weather warming up, it’s time to finally take care of it n get it ready for rust protection in the fall for the 1st time

    side note:
    Never seen anyone clean the bottom before applying the usual candidates(FFilm, WWax, buster…) as in grind/sand away surface rust n then wash it…thoughts?

    A few months into ownership of my 23, I just ran it through the car wash (which also did undercarriage), and let it dry for a day before applying WaxOyl Hardwax Plus to my frame. A year later, and probably 6-8 full car washes, it still looks and feels the same (ever so slightly tacky) as when I applied it. Unless you have noticable rust you should be ok.

    Posting this for the search history...

    Had my wheels and tires installed Tuesday and the next day when I drove it on the freeway, I had a lot of vibration in the steering wheel around 50-65mph. Having read the horror stories, I was readying myself for multiple trips, possibly multiple shops to get this dialed in.

    Sent a note to the shop who did the install. They made room for me that day to do a re-balance. I picked it up last night, drove it 130 miles today and had zero vibration. Nice.
