You’ll confuse the hell out of people with that sound coming from a full size pickup...

Exactly what had happened today. Got a bunch of these confused look?. A few had asked me if it was a diesel and others asked if it was a v6 with turbo.

I agree, thats one of the reasons I didn't buy a Trail Boss, I didn't like all the black, especially the grill and bumper, looks like a low level trim package to me. Again, no hate, just my preference.  Nice work Chance. 

Funny how we all have different taste.  I avoided the painted bumpers because I thought they had a low level trim look.  Like you guys, definitely no hate just different preference.  Good thing or we'd all be driving the same thing LOL.

I had my chrome handles painted and the chrome trim blacked out on my high country

Looks great those are on the list for me as well. 
 

How did you go about the handles? Buy new ones and have them painted? 
 

Did you wrap the trim or buy new black trim?

 

one last one, did you paint your front bumper or is that stock on the HC?

Came home from work and did a little bit to the truck. 

Wrapped the bow tie black on my spare grille while the other grille is getting painted. I wrapped the inside door handles (need more wrap to finish the rest, and installed LED reverse lights. Not a bad hour of working on the truck.

Dealer painted door handles before I purchased truck for me. They dont have satin steel door handles it’s odd they have them on the RST models but for repairs and such they have to paint new ones [emoji2373]

I had the trim wrapped by the guy who did my ppf and tint

My front bumper is stock b5be12404bdc909985475105310ce236.jpg

Looks great! I have mirror caps and grille at the shop getting color matched paint. I’d like to do handles/trim and bumpers next.

Added some shadow gray color matched door protectors from sportwing.  Paint matches perfectly.  Their instructions on mounting are wrong though.  It would have resulted in a seriously crooked install.  I just went with the ridge in the door for alignment.

Would you mind sharing the cost of these?  Looking at doing this but won't if too much $!

Sure, go to Sportwing.com.  They are $136 delivered right now.  Seems like a good price for what you get.  I honestly dont even know they are on there most of the time.  you cant even notice them unless you know to look.  They also have some with contrasting stripes if you want them to stand out.

Put my paint matched grille and mirror caps on. Pretty excited how it came out. Still contemplating on if I should keep the chrome bumper or not? What are your thoughts?

    • 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?
