Got the light bar wired up. Literally took me an hour to figure out why the primary light wouldn't light up. I tested every wire and couldn't get it to light up. Then I thought about it and looked in the inline fuse housing - Rigid didn't put a fuse in there... so...

The way I wired it - I still used the relay and used the fender light as the trigger for the orange backlight and then switch 1 on the uplifters for the spot. Kept it pretty clean looking and used plugs for a quick disconnect from the fender, the light bar, and even to the interior switch. Should be getting the bumper tomorrow and hopefully get it put on tomorrow night.

Sounds like a great idea. Hooks look proper.

It's growing on me. I wasn't too sure on it when I was painting it, was luke warm when I installed them, but walking out of the grocery store earlier today I actually really dig it. Like Denvertaco07 said, it's subtle but adds to the otherwise monochromatic Leadfoot.

Not so much TO it as FOR it. Got a nice 6 day stretch off work thanks to a couple of canceled training days, so decided to finally clean/organize the garage. Got to the point of well, if I'm going to take that out, might as well take those out too...one thing led to another and pretty soon it was empty. Figured I might as well paint the concrete and drywall, and put down one of those epoxy floors. Turned into a 4 day project, and I can't park in it until tomorrow as the epoxy takes 3 days to fully cure. Anyhoo...Venture has a new home!

Add these tie downs to the bed. Fit well but did have to drill out the hole. Also pinched in the loop that goes around the ring to hold it in place firmly so they don’t bounce around. Link below for anyone else looking. 10 pack for under $25.

Put the first coat of Por 15 rust preventative coating. I had to wait all day for the Por 15 metal prep to arrive from amazon. That’s supposed to go on before the rust preventative coating. Anyway only got one coat down before I ran out of daylight . Looking good though! In between prepping,and waiting I represented by adding a Black American Flag. That looks sweet as f**k too!c1a6bd6067055ef0fb02285c0bdbf514.jpg

Very nice. I'm actually in the middle of doing the same. I cleaned it up and painted the walls a couple weeks ago, and will do the floors this week or weekend. I can't really take everything out though as I have a lot more crap in my garage and no place to move it to for more than a couple hours. So I'll shift everything to one half of the garage, paint it, wait a day or so, and do the other side. Worked fine for the walls, a little concerned that it won't look right in the end, but it's still a garage, and I don't want to make the job any harder than it needs to be.

Did some Forscan tweaks.
1. Added Heated and Cool seats and steering wheel to home screen
2. Added Temperature read outs
3. Linen style folding mirrors
4. Roll up and roll down front windows controlled through key fob
5. Got rid of “fake” piped in exhaust notes

still trying to figure out how to get the auto tilt down side view mirrors while in reverse.

I highly recommend these changes.
