      Morning! Yes the remote is awesome! It is definitely an option to order when ordering a truck. It’s like having an extra person helping you. You can always add it on.

      You can still order it and set it up. There is a receiver under the bed in rear near the levers on the inside. Order a lodar remote and look up the programming. Also a valve there that will adjust the speed of the winch for the remote

      Audi's are front wheel drive based so that's why he didn't need them under the front wheels. E-Brakes go to the rear wheels and that vehicle had an electronic one, don't want the tires scraping that far across the asphalt because they lock the wheels up like nobody's business. Is there a different method you would have done with the given information? I love learning new things man so don't take it the wrong way 🙏

    I was taught to push the wheel lift down to bring tail up to give more clearance, also so tail of deck doesn't drag ground, and to support the end of the bed rails when sliding in and out, especially since my truck is bagged.

      Everyone is taught differently. My truck was bagged as well. I don’t use the wheel lift for loading and unloading unless it’s a heavy machine or ambulance. When you have the proper tools, it makes your job so much easier. I try to not abuse the equipment as much as possible. A couple of skates, pieces of wood, snatch blocks, and a wheel chock or 2 are great to have.

    I knew there is a way to put it in neutral, to guys had no clue. I figure if we get it in neutral and in line with the roll back, they can drag it up. The front wheels are almost straight.
    They are just lazy I guess.

      I try to place the skate all the way under the tire but sometimes a vehicle will shift. Sometimes I’ll have to use a snatch block multiple times cause the car wants to go to the side and it’s annoying. Sometimes you can in hook one side to straighten it out as well

    Sliders, not skates ! Skates have wheels or rollers.
    Why are you sliding it anyway, you have access to the car, release the parking brake . I am curious as to how you got in, if you have keys I am really confused as to what or why you are doing it this way.

      Nope, still confused how the steering lock released but the park brake didn't, & I guess if you want to call them the wrong name, that's up to you, what would you call proper skates then ? The ones with wheels that lift the wheel off the ground ?

      I’d do it the same way every time. The reason I put it in neutral is to allow the front wheels to roll amd not drag. The parking brake was stuck on which is why I used skates on the rear wheels. Putting the vehicle in neutral makes it easier than dragging it in park.
