@Leftsidej been out of town for work. Will be home this weekend and I’ll swing by the shop and take some pictures. I have 2 Thule UpRide racks on the passenger side nested together. Went with the crossbars because it was the only thing with enough width for 2 racks plus the tent.

I’ve got a 2017 802A with 39k miles. I’ve got the same wear/chipping etc as you. Also have some fading of the leather up by the the red stripe. I’ll most likely replace the whole wheel vs trying to touch up the plastic trim and dying? the leather. Seen OEM replacements with the correct options...

@Cobraman044 thanks. That’s incredible. I’ll check it out.

I disagree. 2017 SCrew on stock suspension and I’m running Venomrex VR601 20x9 +12 offset with 35/12.50/20 BFG KO2 Load Range E. Daily psi of 37-38. Daily driving comfort level is not compromised. I live in Utah. Within 3 hours I can be in the desert, dunes, mountains, fire roads, etc. If...

If all you want is to +1 or +3 your wheels while maintaining stock tire size you just need to buy the wheels you want and then choose the specific tire you want in a 35/12.50 x 18 or 20. Once you have the wheels and tires they will need to be mounted and balanced. Would also be highly...

That’s clean. Mind showing off your sub box? I was thinking about making my own, as well.

How did you interface into the stock system? Did you have the Sony or B&O?

Thanks for the input guys. Helps point me in the right direction.

Thanks @melvimbe. That's where I'm struggling as well on the subs. I've heard people swear two 8"s are all you need, one 10", two 10"s, a 12", a 13.5". etc. I know it's all personal preference.. Not knowing that for sure is also preventing me from knowing exactly what I need out of an amp/s. I...

@mrdoenutz or @melvimbe - been through this thread and melvimbe's about his journey upgrading and wanted to see if either of you would do things differently if you had a 2nd go at it? Still satisfied? Regrets?

This man is my hero. Driving it like he stole it

I need a drink. This is the most anxiety I’ve felt all year. @Harvey Singh is a living legend at this point. Enjoy the truck friend!

Interesting video for anyone with 15 minutes to spare. Probably the most insight I’ve seen on the two types of rope.

I don’t disagree with your logic at all. I had always noticed that almost every manufacturer specs I’ve read for both kinetic energy rope (Bubba rope style) and snatch strap (ARB style) have all suggested the same sizing parameter of being within that 3x weight rating for the minimum breaking...

@smurfslayer I’m sure that’s enough to make you stain your pants a little bit.. This happened more when I was still back East - CT/NY - but I’d always have to reattach the pull point that the other person “secured” to. Amazing how basic of a concept it is, yet still flys right over peoples head.

This is interesting. I read a few threads on the F150 forum and several members mentioned using a two prong approach - a full cover across the back then something similar to this on top specifically for the car seat.

Thanks @Idaho. Appreciate the feedback. Does it have provisions to allow seatbelts/car seat Latch system to pass by? Or may have to cut a slit for those?

In Utah running RWD only 99% of the time. Really has to be white out conditions before I’m switching into 4-anything on regular roads/highways/etc. Different story obviously if I’m in deep snow in a canyon or on a trail.

Curious what your thoughts are on this since getting it? In the same mode preparing for baby to come in January.

Also, with a strap designed to stretch don’t oversize the weight rating. I’ve always stayed between 2-3x the weight of the vehicle. This allows for the correct amount of stretch. I use the ARB Snatch Strap rated at 8,000kg/~17,600lbs. Approximately 2.5x the weight of my truck. A rope rated...

Exactly this. I’ve seen a chain break and go right through the windshield of the vehicle being recovered. Missed the drivers head by less than a foot. Definitely could have ended up much worse than just broken glass. I use the ARB Snatch Strap in any tugging/jerking type situation.

+1 to see your setup on the Raptor

Thanks @ApicellaAutoSound. Hadn’t thought much passed the advertised ability to produce x-amount of power. Makes sense, though. In the bigger picture, they have to compromise somewhere to achieve the size.

Thanks guys. I appreciate your feedback. I feel like I’m chasing my tail a little bit trying to solve this equation of what I can squeeze back there and still retain functionality.

I think through some usb fans I can mitigate any potential heat buildup. As far as the DSP goes I’ve seen several people on the F150 forum recommended the Dayton 408. Not too many threads here upgrading the Sony systems. I’m still scratching my head on a few things. Any other route you’d...
