Took off those awful Tremor side steps & installed the White Knuckle rock sliders that have been sitting in my garage for a month and a half.

Anybody in NorCal want to buy a set of Tremor skids & steps cheap?

When you ordered these what did you select for the body lift option?

I have wanted to purchase it in the past, but my local Walmarts do not stock it on the shelves. Lately I have been purchasing my oil from them online and having it shipped to my home for free. Problem is the price for Platinum is always the same, unlike the ultra which is always fluctuating. When I purchased it prior to the trip the 5 quart bottle was under $30. Now it’s showing a list price of $40.

I've been buying the ultra for around $30, had trouble finding it locally and saw the same crap online on Walmart's site.

Bought a case of 3x 5 quart jugs for under $100 on Amazon and it still worked out to around $34 after taxes.

I played with this a little today before a trip out of town on Monday with the missus. Works impressively well.

OnX says there's some trails in the area ?

I order from Amazon when it drops in price I watch it closely usually in the high 20s. Walmart does not sell in Stores. The ultra rates right up there in the top of the ratings very good oil.

I changed the battery in my key fob today! LOL, finally a "mod" I can do sitting down with no minimal cussing (oh yeah, I still cussed, but just a little). =D

First off, I couldn't find anyone here with any info, I didn't want to go outside and get the manual (it's 39° and I'm a delicate daisy), and I also couldn't find my '22 XL bare bones fob online. Some that were close, but not this exact one. And with my irrational fear of breaking every plastic tab I even look at, I didn't want to be going at it like Sasquatch.

I don't have that Nancy push button start baloney (be a man, stick it in and twist!). =p

At first and after a very brief Googling, it looked like it was a CR2025 but I was going to see if I could squish a bigger 2032 in there. I was pleasantly surprised that my fob wasn't decontented and it actually had a 2032 in it.

flip out the key

look for the slot with a flashlight (or be a real man and use a match) =p

put a small flat-head screwdriver in the slot and pries up (ugh, that makes me a nervous Nellie)

hmm, Panasonic, surprised it was a name brand battery =)

stick a new one in, I dunno if this is a factor anymore - it used to be you weren't supposed to get finger oil on them
20231211_141414.jpg


I'll change every Xmas, even though they can probably last 2+ years (I do use the Remote-X starter pretty much daily), but I don't want to find out the battery's dead when trying to get away from the zombie apocalypse

hook the rear of the cover into the fob first

so that the key side is the one to get pushed and clicked into place (nervous Nellie take two)

then squeeze until it snaps together. LOL, the alarm then went off and I raced around like a spastic banshee

Jumping the gun by a month, but my yearly fob and Chipolo battery change happened today.

I had to.look up my own post on this because I forgot how to pry the case open.

I also did the location tag (Chipolo) because it sent me a notification to change its battery. That Chipolo has saved my bacon a few times. Once I stuck the key in the botttom drawer of a rolling tool chest and I would have never found it.

I'm always nervous with plastic clips

It's not what I did that concerns me.

Happy Halloween everyone.

See this is what happens when you have a damper long enough. Your whole body withers away and you're left looking like this. :oops: Sorry Gregg! ?
