    Either of those would be fine. I went with the Alpine as it matched the power of my Alpine 600W sub amp. I looked at the Hertz, but got such a good deal on the Alpine I couldn't pass it up.

    That would be transmission fluid. There is a transmission cooler in the radiator. That is where you would go to do a complete fluid exchange in your transmission. As for replacing it, might as well do a drain and fill or a complete exchange while you are at it...

    So I think the Michelin Defender is the perfect all-terrain tire... (For most of us)

    I ran Mineral, Poughkeepsie (not the wall), Corkscrew, Engineer Pass, Last Dollar Road, Black Bear Pass, Cinnamon Pass, Imogene Pass and Ophir Pass at 15PSI for the week. Some minor sidewall scuffs but no damage.

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    Insurance won't touch it (not an accident) so that makes your choices a bit easier.

    Like severe overkill for what is in there. I am sure with some serious work, as seen on the first page of this thread, they would sound great. But even as quiet as the LX is, it is not a great sound environment for that level of sub. If you have one and it fits, then go for it, but I would not...

    Personally, both of those would be wasted in the stock box without some serious modifications. It may ne possible to fit them in there. I think @grinchy would be of help as they are similar dimensions to the JBL he installed.

    If it helps, you don't need to use the clips on the two side panels. The plastics stay where they are when driving and you can just slide them over when you need to access. Has worked for 60K miles so far.

    Which of those parks did you like the best? I always like to ask as I live in the are and have visited them all in the last few years. Mine is the first one and I live 30 min from the second.

    In the LX it is just a bit over 4" at the top up to about 5" at the bottom. The style of sub you use can make a huge difference. Some of the shallow mount subs are very wide from the mounting ring on down. They can actually cause interference when mounting as there are a lot of support fins in...

    I think most here use OEM filters. They are fairly inexpensive and work quite well

    It keeps my plastics parts a deep black for well over a year under the hood. Even longer on the outside.

    I use this on my black plastic items. Works very well. CERAKOTE® Ceramic Trim Coat Restoration Kit - https://cerakoteceramics.com/cerakote-ceramic-trim-coat-restoration-kit/ I also use Aerospace 303 protectant but it has to be clean for that. The Cerakote takes the gray and turns it black for a...

    SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day

    I looked at the parts diagram for both LC and LX and neither had anything there. My guess is that it could be for the plastic bug protectors they used to sell.

    Kind of "Mystery" Coolant leak back of engine (heat exchanger valley leak)

    Something like this would make that job a lot easier. I wish I would have used one when I did this job. Top Side Creeper
