Just installed this RPM Rear Molle Panel w/First Aid Kit that I won at the TriState Broncos meetup this weekend.

It sure is! Ain't nobody gonna call me a mall crawler!

Today I installed the Ford Full Body Steel Skid Plate Set. Took a whole 30 mins, now I'm ready to step up my wheeling with a touch more confidence.

I'd recommend picking up a transmission skid plate if you're going really hard. I like my LOD plate since I've got a v6 and it protects the Support struts. Slots right into the existing Ford ones and piece of mind is huge.

thanks for the recommendation! I certainly am not done putting skids underneath, trans skid, shock skids, and rear diff skid will be going on next. I’ll check out LOD and see what they got.

Got rid of the garbage Goodyear tires and replaced with K03’s and put them on the Everglades wheels I got with points

How is the noise vs the Goodyears? Where did you get them?

Night and day difference. These are 12 ply with an F load rating, Shityears are 6 ply and C rating. The stiffness if the BFG sidewalls makes for a super quiet ride and the treads do not pick up rocks at all so far. It really is night and day difference for noise.

Can you do a highway vid?

Tire Rack and Discount Tire (they are the same company) have them in stock.

Yeah, so far super impressed. My gas mileage isn't quite as good as earlier in the week. But so far super happy with them.

Took it in to the dealer for a leaky front pinion and blown boot on the PS cv axle - both covered under warranty waiting on parts. They never questioned the lift or other mods. Oh, and they also did the wiper update...

I installed some interior switches in the back to control the interior and exterior lights a couple weeks back. I usually tie the lower position lights to my trucks lighting systems (lights on means switches on) but after some testing I learned about the CANBUS system and how typically the wires going to things are always hot and always grounded and the computer sends a data signal to control the on/off functions. (My other truck I modify is a 2001 Tacoma so think basic 12v system)

Through stubborness and experimentation I learned that the rear cargo light uses the same plug as the dome light. Well @IAG Performance made a module for their interior light kit that lets their system turn on with the dome so I figure maybe it was worth seeing if they had the same style plug. Sure enough they do, so I installed that and wired the hot for the lower LED's in the switches to come on and off with the domes. Power to the actual accessories are being powered via the 12v plug from 4dtech.

This gave me a clean solution that has the switch backlights independent of the power going to the lights themselves.

A little demo:

Drove my two kids to school twice and dropped my dog off at the vet. So far.

Just got back from our annual August road trip. Started off in Taos, up the Million Dollar Highway to Montrose and the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and then over to Creede for a few days.

John Dunn Bridge and the Rio Grande outside Taos.

Went up one side of Greenie Peak and down the other side into Red River. Ironically, ended up in the middle of a wedding at the top of Greenie and the wedding party was from Oklahoma as well.

Headed up to Montrose and Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. Very underrated park.

Wrapped up with a few days in Creede. Did Bachelor Loop (just to get to the next trail), Rat Creek Loop (saw 2 huge bull Moose on this one), and then Crystal Lake at 12,000+ feet as an offshoot of the Bristol Peak trail. Crystal Lake trail was fun to try out the mud/rut with several off camber spots along with a few 18 degree/30%+ incline/declines with blind turns at the top.

Went to empty the catch can, it was bone dry

Either I oughta buy o-rings that actually fit, or my daily Italian Tune Ups are paying off
