    GEN 2 Rock light install

    I took my inspiration from #1 ; @Mjolnir - lots of good info. I spent at least a pint figuring out where things would go that would make them less likely to get destroyed quickly and not be a PITA to replace. The front wheel well lights are a best effort. Rears appear to be out of the way...

    Lights for added visibility in fog

    For the FRF Illuminati... I’m looking to improve the visibility in really poor conditions. I get some periodic days of really intense fog. Not the Gulf coast, “pea soup” kind, but about 80-85% of that. We had a bout last week and but for the other drivers I did ok. Current setup; outboard...

    GEN 2 FiretrUCKed

    So, on the way to the range I spied gas for $3.48 for regular. I made a note to stop on the way back and did. As I finish filling a Big. @ss. Firetruck pulls in behind me, I think with designs on the pump I’m using. N/P, I’ll just hop in my almost as cool truck and... do nothing because...

    GEN 2 Raptors with frikkin’ lasers

    What could be cooler than a Raptor with frikkin lasers? Maybe lasers and LP4’s? Not that I really needed more but I wanted more ;-) So I decided to pick up some LP4’s for the bumper and throw in some lasers. I thought I could get away with drilling the bumper, but my shop projects don’t...

    Adams ceramics at 14 months

    I finally got around to cleaning the truck thoroughly since late June of 2020. At that time I did a full wash, prep and wax using Adams ceramic wax- not the new graphene stuff. The hood and roof were still beading water, and doing it really well, once cleaned up. None of the side panels were...

    GEN 2 New wheels

    I posted in lightweight wheels thread already, but I’ve done a couple shakedown drives and thought I’d put up some pics I had the local stealership install my Motegi Traillites w/ KO2’s.

    GEN 2 What is the graceful way to exit the sirius ‘replay’ function?

    Do any of you fellow inmates know how to exit this screen short of power cycling the truck? I was trying to get my presets changed on the audio; satellite input screen and replay is right above the presets. I missed, hit replay by mistake and could not find a way out of it. Sometimes, I’m...

    Adam challenged me for pics ( or it never happened right? ) #8 So, I’ve been cycling out my cheap amazon lights this year, replacing with quality stuff. If you learn anything from this post - buy once, cry once and leave that stuff alone. Don’t buy cheap and then have to come back on it a...

    I’ve been enjoying my newish stereo, amps, speakers and annoying neighbors since Replaced the Sony amp, finally One of the benefits to having a full replacement of the factory amp is that when the truck automatically shuts off in normal mode when you’re stopped, the engine shuts off to...

    GEN 2 Replaced the Sony amp, finally

    I mostly finished the swap out of the Sony amp in my ’17 Rap. I’d been suffering with the muddy, imprecise mids and highs, bass roll off and funky eq for way too long. I was hoping to do this in a couple more stages, but fate wouldn’t have it so I spent all day Sunday making all the stuff...
