Looks great! I did something similar in my double cab to retain the factory storage for the jack handle. Nicely done.

Thanks!

This is what it looks like now and future plans after the audio system are to lower it a couple of inches more using drop spindles up front and lowering springs in the rear, upgrading shocks and strut

I added the DeeZee Tailgate assist and I'm in the process of converting the tailgate to automatically drop open remotely from the factory key fob using instructions I found on the forum here

Thanks! I'm working on something similar for you to fit 2 of those sundowns ported. Since you have the console now I have a little more room to work with.

Do you care about easy access to the jack? If not I can extend it both ways for the airspace and have the port come out on the passenger side while still allowing the seats to go all the way back.

@Nasty Did you get a chance to send the seatbelt? (my message app is acting up again so I'm still not getting  all of my messages nor are others getting all of mine). I'm gonna try to get the rest of the wiring done tonight and will need that so I can put it all back together and leave it alone!

Man my OCD is working overtime lately! After more thought I realized that if I ever did want to put a console back in I would have to redo the entire system so I built yet another enclosure with a little extension for the amp and possibly the  crossovers. This one is built from a combination of 13mm and 18mm Baltic birch so I could recess the sub and fits behind the passenger seat. I still have access to the jack, Im going to make a bracket with a stud to mount the tools on the other side and I gave up about 2 clicks on the passenger seat but I dont sit on that side so I'm not gonna worry about it! 

 

BTW, if anyone with a 14-18 regular cab wants to buy the previously posted enclosure (built to specs for an Alpine SWR-8" Type R sub but others will work in that airspace) or any of the JL 10TW3 enclosures I posted a while back I'll make you a good deal!

Ill be posting them on my Instagram here tonight.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
