    Any idea what the difference(s) is(are) between the 2? By sight alone, they looks the same but....I'm assuming something was changed...maybe?

    Flow rate on the F133 is supposed to be much faster .... which is what alot of people complain about with the F103. I'll be doing a comparison soon.

    I see, I see...I've read some of the complaints but that didn't even enter my mind. Will be looking forward to the comparison....video, I presume? :)

    I've currently got the F103 and the "slow" flow rate never bothered me as I used that time to check tire pressure, etc. Yeah I'll do a video for it. :thumbsup: Curious to see how much faster the new F133 is.

    Yea I don't think it would bother me either, but for $5 difference, I'll get the 133 just for the fact that they may have "fixed" other issues behind the scenes, and as of right now I don't have either one. I'm also curious how much faster it is, but I doubt I'd replace one I already had just for flow rate.

    Let me know when you’re ready to part with the F103. I’ll take it off your hands.

    Edit: Purchased, of course.

    Had an easy mod day with the AJT steering wheel emblem cover. Nice quality and it seems like it will stick fine.

    EDIT: Steering wheel not actually as mutated as it looks like. Not sure what that's all about.

    Its not over heating, its reaching temperatures i'd rather not reach is all. Do you monitor your transmission temp? what do you see on trails in the middle of 110f arizona desert days?

    I went with the 103. Ordered it awhile ago but just barely installed it. I don’t have a garage, so I was waiting for some better weather.

    Oh man, too bad you’re leaving! I was debating between the clamshell style RTT and a hard shell like the James Baroud. The hard shells are pricy but have some great features, like they don’t take up any more footprint than your truck. The tent I ended up with came up on FB marketplace, and I couldn’t pass it up. Also, it works perfect with my KB Voodoo bedrack. I didn’t need any other hardware or mods than what came with the tent.

    Very cool!

    5 years is a solid run. I'm ready to get back and start overlanding and whatever and junk. It's time. Good lookin' truck you got there.

    Oh the SS3 pros totally crap on the rigid. I believe they have a wider output and put out 5 or 6k more lumens. I already have the rigid though so I don't plan on upgrading on this truck. Maybe my new one, but I'm trying to hit at least 250k miles on mine before I upgrade

    I do monitor my trans temps with the same scanguage setup you have. I’ve had my trans go over 200 on trails where I’m at and the solution to help cool it down is to drop the gear. Climbing the mountains out here my truck can go from about 180 to 200+ very quickly.
