I have yet to actually have them hit anything yet. I’ve gone a few places where the stock boards got hung up and these never hit anything. In terms of strength though I’ve jacked the truck up and supported it multiple times using the sliders without any problems. Paired with Foutz skids and diff...

It was about $400 for install. Not 100% sure in the weight but I’m sure they’re more than stock since they’re chromoly. If I had to guess I’d say maybe 40lbs per side. On a truck I’m of the opinion that the amount of weight added by a modification like this doesn’t have as large an impact as it...

I had the new SDHQ sliders installed and I love them so far. Definitely worth a look if your ok with welding them to the frame.

They are the spot pattern.

I have some good glare like anybody would get with A-Pillar lights. I had “regular” pods on my pillar for a little while before I got my side shooters and I don’t think there is anymore glare than before with them personally. Here’s a photo to give an idea to the amount of glare I have. Now...

I have the SDHQ and Rigid DSS combo as well and there’s no way I would get rid of it. The amount of light in all directions is insane and almost makes my bumper setup useless in certain situations. Aiming is key of course but I think that with any hood mount light your going to have some hood...

PF22 with a mixture of Griots concentrated foaming surface soap and MTMs performance foam. This was after it had sat for a couple minutes.

Well it sounds like you have it all figured out already and since you have a Gen 1 that you haven’t even driven yet I’m not entirely sure what you were looking for out of an answer. Have fun on your trip! When I picked mine up I drove it on a cross country road trip home and it was a blast!

Im going to assume based off your profile picture that you have a Gen 1. The stock tire on a Gen 1 is load range D and your door sill recommendation is for a load range D. On Gen 2 the recommended tire pressure is 38 PSI on load range C tires. Since the load range E has a stiffer sidewall than...

When I switched to E rated KO2s last year BFGoodrich said I was fine running anything between 32 and 38 PSI on the road. I found 34 front and 32 rear to be the best for me. I know it’s not the same tire but thought it might be a good reference for others. 60 PSI on a half ton is way to much for...

The light within the glovebox works as it should. The light ambient light above the glove box does not. The interesting part is that I went ahead and check the #1 fuse just to see and found that there wasn’t even one there. What confuses me though is that all of the other systems that are tied...

So I noticed that my ambient lighting stopped working sometime last week. It honestly could have been longer but I didn’t notice it until then. I’ve checked Forscan and find this in the DTCs. Anybody know where the actual ground might be for me to check or something else I should look at?

It was confirmed by Mike Levine at Ford that the 19 shocks aren’t backwards compatible. Even if you got all of the addition hardware required it wouldn’t work with anything from a 17 or 18 in terms of hardware and/or coding. You’d have to redo your entire truck.

They look like the ICON Alloy Compression in Satin black but with Hennessey’s name on them for double the price. http://iconvehicledynamics.com/shop/3745-large/compression-17-satin-black-finish.jpg

A picture would help us better understand what you mean but if it’s as I suspect you are most likely just seeing the built up oils left from your hands. Some leather cleaner and a stiff bristle brush should clean it up nicely.
