oh it'll do that all on its own, probably nothing you did. I have to manually reconnect once or twice a week.

Did you use remote start by any chance?

 

[Airborne]

No never used remote start, i think i was fumbling around screen, somhow got on navigation screen , then things went awry from there …..its part my issue as well i dont explore things when comes to tech, lol for fear of getting in spot i cant figure out lol and i ended up there. I usually leave computer things alone…its me i guess , never was tech savy

Sometimes mine doesn’t connect after selecting CarPlay from the menu after remote start and I have to restart the screen, which you do by press holding the volume knob until it turns black, and then it connects right away, it’s a minor inconvenience once you get used to it

This happens to me from time to time. Gotta go to settings, blue tooth, find your phone, and hit the apple car play toggle. It’s not too too glitchy but happens

No problem. I’m a former computer programmer and the first time it happened I almost stabbed the screen with my truck knife.

Then my wife added her phone so she could play an awful podcast about gut health on a road trip and it massively confused my car play. Took me forever to figure it out. I just deleted her phone lol.

Remind me the tires you ordered and the offset - want to make sure I didn’t steer you wrong - also tell me which mud flaps you got

 

[Airborne]

Well going with trailhunter wheels, im still looking at tires, id like falkens, I want to stick with 18”, 285,s. I have the canadian OEM flaps, the guy at westcott said tires,wheels will be fine however i may need to remove the flaps. THe side floor boards /slidder should deter stones, Im hoping the weight isnt to heavy tire/wheel combo. The offset of trailhunter wheels is 25. Right ?

Offset is +20. Yes the mud flaps will need to come off and maybe the crash pads. You want 285/70 ? Or 285/75?

@Airborne - I haven’t seen a better video for explaining tire fitment considerations - diameter, offset, castor, and tire width. I’d watch it. One day I will try to make content this good.
