I'm making this thread in an attempt to collect as many useful DIY's/install tips in one location. We can't sticky every helpful thread at the top but we sure can sticky this one and post useful links here.
Now here's what I need from YOU - If there's a thread (or a particular post within a thread) that you've read that has great information and will be of assistance to the community, PM me and I will add the link to this thread.
I'm really not too knowledgeable about ICE so in order for this thread to work it's going to take the help of all the regular posters and "subject matter experts." I don't know of what posts in the past have been helpful, nor do I really know what current threads are helpful.
When PM'ing me, just include the link and a helpful category the subject matter falls under:
