SpartanFan23 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 So many fun things to add to my truck, and I don't even have a VIN yet! The list keeps growing from a tonneau cover, to a new hitch, to a stubby antenna, to mud flaps, new running boards, not to mention the idea of new wheels and tires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't remember where I got it so I searched on the image and Google found it for about $20 less at Walmart. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Stampede-215641/193726835 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gharri30 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Anyone have a good rear seat cover recommendation? Looking for something that fits, without just hanging real loose, and is fairly sturdy and won't tear. I will have two cars seats in the back so want to protect the seats as best as possible. Have been looking at Marathon Seat Covers, fairly pricey though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll just respond because you specifically asked for opinions, I think it’s hideous haha. But it’s your truck, so your opinion is all that matters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasBlue350 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Got the S&B 60 gallon tank installed at it's pretty sweet to see a DTE of 956 miles I know that doesn't mean much when towing, but it will give me much greater fuel security when I'm out on the road with the 5th wheel. If I start looking for a station when I'm at 1/4 of a tank, I know I have some time before I need to worry about it. The only bad part is when you go to the gas station and it takes 3 runs of the credit card to fill up the tank ? Still need to install the Covercraft Leatherette Custom Seat Covers but it's been too cold around here lately. It should be easier to install the covers once it warms up a bit around here. The dashcam was installed today. Fairly decent wiring job tucked inside the headliner, down the A-pillar, and to the BCM fuse box for the ACC & B+ connections. Here is a short sample of the video: DashCam.mp4 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Lights Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Which Dashcam did you installed. Great video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I bought was a Redtiger 4K dashcam from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098WVKF19?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details It has a few nice features like GPS tagging (optional), speed tagging (optional), continuous loop mode, etc. It came with a rear camera and I will probably install that later.Just wanted to get the forward facing done first. Also, many of these cameras operate from 5V so you need an adapter kit: https://www.amazon.com/Hardwire-Miofive-Converts-Installation-Protection/dp/B09JNMRGXK/ You can use a different one, but if you want to use "Parking Mode", (recording while ACC is off), you will need something like the above. It also comes with all of the fuse adapters that you might need (Micro2 for my Ford truck). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee2021 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 is the “impact bed mat” listed in the Ford Accessories, (VHC3Z99112A15A) a rebranded Bedrug, or a different brand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the gas gage reads 1/4th, is that 1/4th of the total or just the OEM tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlasBlue350 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Like ScottK1 mentioned, I used Forscan to change the tank size for a 60 gallon tank so the DTE would be accurate. Plus I did a few other changes so that I would not get the double honk on exit (with engine running), security idle, Bambi mode, and a few others. My next mod will probably be Airlift 5000 air bags. I had those on my Duramax and they really smoothed out the ride when pulling the 5th wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the DTE is calculated from the total of the 2 tanks? Is there a wired connection from the external tank gage? Also, is the feed from the extra tank fast enough to keep up with the pump? If you just filled the external, would both be full by the time you were done or would it be best to fill the factory tank before you fill the external? Thanks for the info.

I see the blacked out side emblems, wheels, and running boards, but you have a red grill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered the sport but wanted the black emblems so I made my own hybrid sport/BAP and I love how it turned out! The red grille is one of my favorite things about the truck.

SpartanFan23 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 It definitely looks sharp. I was torn between the red and carbonized gray. What did you end up getting for the smoked clearance lights? And how does the short antenna do for reception? I am one of the few who still listens to over the air radio ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstFord22 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 @tcritch3 I’ve been wondering where you’d been! She looks sweet… now it’s time to go with the 2WD valance and the raptor grill lights to compliment the roof lights. What’s a few more ? ? @Gharri30 fingers crossed here too for ya! Can’t wait to see your rig as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
