That’s the first day, I think the second day might have enough dirt but haven’t looked at those photos yet haha

uh yes? not sure what you're after lol.


Haha that was joke sarcasm because you listed this awesome truck build.

What roof rack is that? I like the low profile! I can't believe I just noticed that.

No one in these pics seems to have a front receiver mounted Winch?  All have been on a bumper mount?  anyone tell me why they don't like the versatility of the receiver mount/  Is the winch being mounted to strong for a receiver mount?

I think most people looking for a winch setup are looking for a permanently mounted winch solution with eye appeal, and receiver winches don't really fall into either of those categories.  Its a vain way of looking at it and I may be completely wrong but most Silvy's, being $40K-$50K, are daily drivers and most owners are probably trying to keep their trucks looking a certain way.  Front mount receiver winches don't always fall into "that look".  However, 20 years from now when the trucks aren't worth much, I bet you see a lot more liberties being taken with mounting solutions.

It's from Alpha Foxtrot Designs. Honestly I can't recommend it, it has issues staying tight on the roof. I actually have it off currently.

I contacted them. They have since discontinued for the reasons you have described. Shucks!

They aren't bead locks.  Not meant for serious offroading.  But, arguably, neither is this truck.  Too big, too wide, and too long, imo.  If you want a serious offroader get a Jeep Wrangler.  The Trail Boss is more for cruising down well-traveled dirt roads to go camping or hunting.  Definitely not for desert running or rock crawling.

Has anyone added storage in the tailgate? I have seen it on different vehicles, so I am thinking of doing it to mine. There is actually lots of room on the bottom with a divider from the opening components above. IMG_20210824_095144636_HDR.thumb.jpg.7e31a35eeb9a50cac431d48b8199e7e2.jpg

That’s where the cocaine goes 🤣

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • 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?
