    Finally replaced the stock radio with a cheap Dual Apple Car Play radio that I picked up an my local Walmart. I know it's not the greatest radio, but so far it does what it is supposed to and it doesn't sound too bad either! It's nice now to have access to my phones music and maps.

    Also spent part of the day yesterday getting the LED lights wired into my parking lights in the new headlights I picked up a few weeks back. The pictures aren't the greatest, but they look damn good in person!

    It really is especially for the size of them. The mounts angle them perfect also. I ran the wires down back into the rear window seal, down the back of the cab, up into the grommet under drivers seat and through firewall.

    The bracket that came with it fit the bolt that goes in there I just had to bend it out a little.

    Took all of like 10 mins. The back clamp can be a bit of a pain but that's the worst. I also had to loop the hoses around a little to get them more out of the way and everything.
    Here is @boogie3478 install video if you need a little visual aid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B96rpoS2gn0

    Thanks man. I’m sorry I’m just now seeing this. Being in the Airforce as a flyer, I’m gone a lot and my wife wanted a good, loyal friend (besides our two cats) and a little bit of protection…. She’s an awesome dog so far. I’m sorry for your loss. Wish we could wheel and have you meet my pup! :)

    ok just came back from camping. Weboost does work but dont get high-expectations from we boost , its boosting signal by only a bar, when i had extended with one bar, weboost did a boost to one more bar and i could make a phone call, in some areas on the way back home i had 4 bars extended cellular signal, i turned weboost on and it was showing LTE 3 bars but damn internet didnt work and couldn't send a photo over text message.

    Done by me: decals, plastidip, and vinyl. More to come. Not done by me: Icon front/rear suspension; Total Chaos UCA’s; Method wheels/34” Falken tires; Prinsu cab rack/LED light bar; V1Air compressor piped to a 2.5 gallon underbed tank; Pelfreybilt front/rear bumpers; Smittybilt front winch.
    This is how my Verizon is all the time. If I don’t have 4 bars of LTE it’s all questionable speed from there down. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

    Good to know though, as I had been waiting to see how it worked for ya.

    Thanks for the update. Your experience may have convinced me to just go for a Bivy stick. At least that way I know I can communicate no matter what, even if it is only through text.

    garmin inreach mini is great for that. I love mine. I like that I can send preset messages from camp without having to link it to my phone.

    I Didn’t realize bivy stick got purchased by ACR though. That definitely beefs up their legitimacy.
