How did you mount the dual pods in the fog lights? It looks awesome!

check out www.agricover.com/ledlights . I used there 18 W flood light , mounted on the hitch cross bar under the truck . size about 1.5 X 6 " . wire to my cargo lights

 

 

Do you have any pics of your installation you can share?

Finally finished installing the charging cradle for my Sony Z3 Compact phone. This phone has a magnetic charging connector on its side, and Brodit's cradle neatly uses this to charge while on the go. I attached it to Panavise's bracket that's made for the K2, which attaches to one of the OEM bolts in the IP.

Keeps my phone charged without a dedicated charging cable, and keeps it secure -- no more stashing it awkwardly in a cupholder. Ran the cables behind the I05 screen, behind the glovebox, and to the passenger side fuse block, where I used an MTR fuse tap from eBay to feed power. Works great, since I can just simply slide the phone in and out as needed, but I plan on also adding some NFC tags to the holder or dash to allow me to quickly turn BT on/off or load certain apps (i.e. Waze) when jumping in and out of the truck.


Also started installing a second pair of OEM LED bed lights. Have the passenger side one mounted and cables run; will probably slowly get to the driver's side lamp and tap into wiring as time allows this week.

When I got my truck someone had already tinted the taillights and I can hardly see to back up at night. The lights look good but they are painted. I wonder if these would help my situation? I searched Amazon and there are different versions of Cree 50 watt backup lights. What did you wind up getting?

Thanks,

Eddie

Eddie, see my third post on page 334 of this thread. I added a photo and link of what I bought.

3d emblem inlays... They are not just flat vinyl overlays they are thick domef emblems that are raised and look really good. It's just the little details...

When you start adding lift kits and modding it yourself you're still building it from a stock truck. Now if you go out and buy the truck lifted, tuned, etc. then you bought it that way. Hence, "Built Not Bought"

You don't get it cus you don't see the full picture. That's what a 2wt trim looks like and that's how my 2wt trim truck looks like. I use this decal because all the parts on this truck I installed them myself, even made custom parts for stuff to work. That's what the sticker refers to, obviously not meant like I built the truck like I build cabinets.

    • Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.          
    • Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.  
    • I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
