• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Service Shock - just about had a heart attack at the bill!

    @Smitty42 First, sticker shock sucks, don't it? You have my sympathies. I have a 2018 RTL with 16K miles that I've taken to a dealer to have a rear tire mounted and the bite was ~$250. I didn't have a coronary because I bought the tire there. Anyway, I've purchased a couple sets of ramps...

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    Rode over to HEB and picked up two loaves of bread, butter, some nice Envy apples, and some pecans. Oh yeah, and some GatorAde.

    2018 RTL floorboard removal

    Thanks. I didn't think it would be easy.

    2018 RTL floorboard removal

    There MUST be a thread about this but a fair amount of searching turned up nothing I could use. Which reminds me that I need to see if there's a thread on how to most effectively employ the search engine. Anyway... How do the OEM floorboards attach/come off a 2018 RTL? I took a gander down...

    A Noncurrent 2022 F3S Won Me Over

    Howdy, Harry. Welcome. A tip of the cap to someone older than me, who has been told that he's older than dirt. :)

    It's currently 95 here in College Station TX and I'm sitting under the ceiling fan. That is all.

    2018 RTL GPS circuit. Blew a fuse? Can anyone give me a pointer towards which one?

    Job done. I'll hide my wiring a little better when this heat breaks. Working with no ill effects.

    2018 RTL GPS circuit. Blew a fuse? Can anyone give me a pointer towards which one?

    Gave CoachBob another look. Noticed he was reaching high for the wires. I had been looking and reaching low. Stuck my fingers thru the round hole away from the battery and felt soft rubber. :oops: A little fiddling with some needle nose pliers and pulled the wires, boot and all thru the hole...

    2018 RTL GPS circuit. Blew a fuse? Can anyone give me a pointer towards which one?

    Poked around in the battery cavity and could feel/see nothing that looked right. Bear in mind I have rheumatoid arthritis and my extremities aren't as 'prehensile' as they once were. The only two wires resembling what is shown in pics I've seen have the right angle spade connectors but are...

    2018 RTL GPS circuit. Blew a fuse? Can anyone give me a pointer towards which one?

    Suffice to say, I'm gonna go with the frunk circuit which had been the original plan. I only chose the GPS2 because I saw a guy hook up a Garmin to it and it appeared to be less trouble than fishing around that frontend for leads that I hear don't have very much slack. We shall see what...

    2018 RTL GPS circuit. Blew a fuse? Can anyone give me a pointer towards which one?

    Didn't want to remove them again but I'll have a look. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that looks like a garden variety spade connector with a 90?

    Yeah, just need to find that in the AM, when it's 'cooler'.

    2018 RTL GPS circuit. Blew a fuse? Can anyone give me a pointer towards which one?

    Asking this here because it's concurrent. Anyone recognize this? A breather of some kind? Think I dislodged it while reseating that unwieldy headlight adjustment dongle. Noticed it on the floor next to the RTL when I got through putting right headlight back together. -

    2018 RTL GPS circuit. Blew a fuse? Can anyone give me a pointer towards which one?

    Thanks, Doug, for the easy to understand explanation(s). I've decided to use the circuit near the battery for several reasons. I kept thinking to myself, wrongly perhaps, that the GPS connection used noticeably smaller wire (in my mind, that indicated not enough power), probably 20 gauge or...
