Nice bike! You always ride hard tail? About to pull the trigger on the salsa horsethief 2 29er.

For now... I just haven't pulled the trigger on the cost of a full suspension yet. I love them but would rather use monies on Raptor.

I don't use it hard enough to justify the added expense.

I tried to fix my back up cam. All I get is a black screen. No Bueno. Funny how those little things I didn't need are missed when they quit.
I get the same thing once in awhile, been too lazy to deal with it. Think you need to unplug it under the truck and check for corrosion, then clean it out and should work.

Washed, Clay bar'd and waxed the whole truck


Unfortunately I'm doing the same thing. Somewhere between Lindsay Ok and Shreveport La someone lost A LOT of tan paint. I must have drive rite threw it because it's all down both sides of my truck and even all over the tailgate. I was hoping the clay bar would take it off but this may have to go to a professional.

Wow, that sucks. I thought it was bad when we ran over a *** of blue gum with the front tire and it was strung all over the side and the tailgate. This is much worse...good luck.

Oh man that's not good at all. I used the clay bar to get all these rust speckles off my truck they were everywhere. I parked too close to someone grinding steel at my shop :( after an hour of using the bar I finally got it all off.

Iv been working on the passengers side door for about an hour and a half. It's about 75% done. I'm sure this is going to require power tools lol. Just don't know if I'd be better off buying a buffer and tackling it myself or taking it somewhere. We really don't have a "good" detail shop around here. I'm afraid it would just come out worse than it went in. Glad yours came out fairly easily.

I ran over gum one time and it went all over the side of the truck, I used peanut butter on a micro fiber and it took the gum right off.

Good to know. Heard of that before. I used WD-40 and a microfiber which worked good too.

If you can't find any good shops to tackle it, I'd buy a buffer and then you'll always have it if anything else happens.
