• 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.

    RTL 2020 Outdoor Cover - Is there a way to pack it in the zipper section?

    i think the velcro piece at the back of the cover is where you open it for the antenna to come through an then close the velcro part back up tight around it. On my cover thats what the velcro opening is for on the back of cover. Dont know about the fitting in zippered part.

    Do you think the installation of a thicker swaybar/metal endlinks was worth it ??

    It was worth it. The dipping in the corners is pretty much gone now. When semi's are met on the road I dont feel the big blast of air from them trying to send me off the road.
