the switch has a strobe function, not sure if it dims i haven't played too much with it. and yes you can turn it on at any time. I think it works good has about 30 ft range right now i haven't played with the antenna wire yet but it could probably be made to have a greater range. I found this a much more appealing solution than having to hack up my interior or mess with tapping into other wires to get it to turn on and off

Very nice. Let us know if it does dim and how well it works. Could be a cool thing to have if you need some extra light and don't feel like stepping in the truck to activate a light. Especially if you can extend the range. Keep us posted on how well it works. Will certainly help out others in the future who don't want to run more wires than absolutely necessary.

Damn you! That looks great! Looks like I may have to pull mine out and paint them.

Like my old truck, I want to paint my miroirs and my Onstar antenna. For the light, I have 2 options, 40" behind the grille or 52" curved bar on the roof + my 19" led bar + my HID fog light. I don't made my choice.

Anyone know if warranty would be affected by installing a LED bar or fog lights? It seems like something they'd try to use to get out of doing stuff on warranty.

If it has something to do directly related to the lights such as if you change the dogs and something happens to the fog light system then they can deny you service, but if something happens like your transmission drops out or a spark plug breaks, then they can really deny you service. Also if they do try to deny you service for something that has something has nothing to do with the lights, then you could always call upon the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act (Im pretty sure that's the name of it)

What make is that bar Todd? Any specs? Looks like a spot configured beam for high speed driving?

Not that my comment has anything to do with what you said about the LED's but I saw your location and I used to live in Sierra Vista. It's good to see someone from where I used to live. I like what you've done with the exhaust on your truck too.

 

I go down to SV several times a year from about Dec to Feb for quail. I took my wife down there to see if she'd go for retiring to that area. No dice. I really like the area in the winter.

    • Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.  
    • The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.  
    • Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.
    • I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
    • That’s what I’m wondering is if the stock backspacing of the factory wheels will clear new upper control arms and such
