    I started by reading the original http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f81/hood-light-mounts-install-walk-thru-lots-o-pics-9705/ and took the excellent advice of removing the hood struts here http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f81/outlaw-hood-mounts-hidx-lights-alternative-off-road-10845/. I tried to...

    So what the hell is everyone doing for alarms?

    Don't see much talk of them. I only need something with a pager. I don't give a shit about remote start. Want shock sensor and I guess glass breakage (or is that the same thing these days?) I don't want my wiring harness all hacked to shit either. Is there anything that interfaces...

    Crutchfield has the Polk Audio db571's on a buy one pair, get another half price sale through 4/28. As usual from them, comes with the harnesses. Free shipping got them to me in 2 days. I couldn't find an appreciably better deal out there and Crutchfield's service is top notch. I also went...

    Pedal kit installed

    Took me about an hour to install because apparenlty I have some dull ass drill bits. Should have taken about 30 minutes... Regardless, I did it on my lunch break in my work clothes. Install is simple for anyone with basic skills. One word to describe the pedals. Stout! Much nicer than I...

    Projects through 1st week of ownership

    Total cost for everything was $70... Next up will be a bed liner of some sort (leaning towards Bedrug or Bedtred) and tonneau cover of some sort. Still on the fence about the Bakflip. It's a lot of money... Stubby antennae $25 shipped. Fender well sprayed with Rust-o-leum...

    Thumbs up on the stubby

    I ordered last Wednesday and received it last Friday with just the standard shipping. Took all of 20 seconds to install and there's been no drop in reception for me. Don't waste your time on Pep Boys or whatever. Just order this damned thing. Looks better than anything you'll find locally...

    Fastest order ever?

    I ordered on 8/22, dealer called me with VIN on 8/24. This morning the window sticker popped up and is showing a build date of 9/12. Assuming it's built on that day, it could realistically get here inside of a month if the transportation gods smile on me...
