What have I done today? Hmmm.....ordered new speakers for the front dash and all four doors, and ordered a Borla ATAK exhaust kit. ?

 

Bit of a shipping lead time right now so it'll be a bit before I receive anything and start installing it. Pics will come later!

Did you order the speakers cuzza the exhaust, or the exhaust cuzza the speakers? [emoji1787][emoji23]

Got the custom 3 layer LED Cutting Edge Off-road Grille in today.. still I have to wire a switch in but super juiced how much it changed look at the front end! Picture is crap, truck is dirty as hell, still have the rags sitting on my LCA’s because I put my chrome swaybar in today I still have to polish the risers but I’m still pretty juiced how well this grille came out.

I can’t find the vid for some reason but pretty sure it’s the one where you make the cup holder in the floor console removable and you have access to more storage below it. And you add magnets to it so you can just grab them and pull up quick to get there.

It looks pretty cool for those of us that carry, but I opted for the black bear magnet instead.

Couldnt figure out quoting 2 people but I'll at mention you: @6.2Midnight 

 

Heres the video, its from tinkering fox, hes a buddy of pgamboa, and does a few install videos for heated steering wheels and whatnot:

Yup that’s the one! Thx!! He’s pretty funny as well. [emoji1360]

I did the diode dynamics switchback boards on my headlights. I had some issues with the headlights where water was getting in from my previous retrofit to the headlamps. Pulled everything apart and it was just as much of a pain in the ass as you’d think it would be. Don’t be afraid to heat those headlights up. If they’re cool to the touch it’s not hot enough to break the permaseal bond. I did 270 degrees for 10 mins repeatedly. If you want to do a longer time lower the temp considerablyba0e61ac0d88dc155df389ff5f527c5f.jpg

35k miles, so I changed the transfer case fluid. Looks like the magnet has been doing its job

Been stealing a ton of ideas from you guys for changes I wanna make to my newly-acquired '18 here, so I thought I'd do my part to give back and keep the thread going. So far I've installed the cheap amazon frame plugs, oem under-seat storage, and Westin ProTraxx 5 Wheel-to-Wheel step bars. Chrome handles just came so I'll probably get those in this weekend if the weather cooperates.

Edit: I made a build thread with more details:

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
