Worked as advertised! I only did the dash reset since there is an option to put the date of service in the infotainment system I’ll let the tech do that. Thanks again!

No problem! Glad you got it figured out. My OCD hates stuff popping up randomly

Fitted(temporarily) and stocked my Engel fridge.

And a couple without the gallon water jug.

Tested the capacity of the fridge today and it came out to 47 Modelos… I suppose I’ll just have to drink the extra one while I stock it!

***DISCLAIMER - I would never drive with the fridge loaded like this with glass bottles, especially off-road. This is just living room goofing!***

Got this message on the head unit this morning…..

First of all, it’s been displaying on the dash every day for a couple of weeks and now this. I read on here the other day that you can pull the fuse for the DCM under the hood, but would that become an issue if you have a warranty claim? I have an appointment for the 15k service tomorrow morning so I’ll be glad all the alerts will be gone. I’ll continue to have the dealership service the vehicle as long as it’s under warranty. Once the warranty is up I’ll service it myself, but will I have to take it in to have the service alert messages cleared or is there a way to clear on my own without having to shell out a couple hundred bucks?

Just make sure the technician actually resets the maintenance counters. They forgot to do mine and I've had a yellow light on my dash for months now. Fortunately I haven't received that message, but I did remove the DCM fuse so that may have something to do with it.

Day 4 of ownership 2022 TRD OR, new SEMA TRD 17" wheels and Goodyear Duratracs P265/70R17. Slight rub of the front factory mud flaps, which I will fix tomorrow. Goodyear has a ROLL service in select cities, started in Akron of course but they service Columbus, OH area. They came to house with my new tires and took the TPM sensors off of my original wheels/tires(going to FB marketplace soon). Mounted everything up while I relaxed in my home. They did a great job.

So they come anywhere you're at and mount and balance your new tires in the truck? Kinda like the windshield/glass co's eh.

So, picked it up with the wrap done.
And got the tails smoked while there too.

Man that came out great. You satisfied that they put everthing back together properly?

I saw the video, they look pretty good. As long as they are better than the stock, and it looks like it to me, Im good.

The best led headlights out there are the OEM LED's or if you're set on aftermarket lights the Morimoto XB Gen2's are the way to go. Do yourself a favor and go with one of these. Those crazy light shows do nothing for performance and the output of the alpharex isn't that good.

Note: Youtubers get the products for free in exchange for raving about them so not really an honest review.

You bet!
The knob itself just pulls off of the interior panel of the truck. Once off, you flip it over and you can see there are three small white “clips” holding the two pieces together. Lightly pry those clips toward the center of the knob. Then the two pieces can be separated.

Before sanding the chrome with 100 grit sandpaper, I taped off the black portion of the knob to protect its finish. When I finished scuffing up the chrome surface, I cleaned it, re-taped it, and sprayed it with satin black Krylon paint. The Krylon I had states it’s specifically made for plastics.

I hope that helps!

Did you have to take the door panel off? Or did you literally just pull up on the knob?

Just reset your maintenance on dash menu? Just another reason I'm glad I disable the nags.

Edit: Disregard, looks like you already got it

No sir, literally just pull up on the knob.

Did the pro grill…

roboturner · Mar 26, 2022

Wired the anytime front and back camera set up, surprisingly a bigger PITA than expected, but had a spare switch spot next the Qi on my MT so it looks OEM.
Replacement faux-pro grille finally came in late as the other one came with a crack and busted tab (yotaverse sent the replacement free no questions at least)- so tomorrow I’ll mount the camera and grille - getting close!

You don’t think stock leds are bright ?
So I heard from the light expert guy on here can’t remember his name starts with a C I think. He said they make the lights appear bright big they cast all the light right infront of you, instead of far ahead like they are suppose to be

the cat protection is maybe 10lbs. I already had the skid.

ETBA · Mar 26, 2022

Installed my RCI skid today. Had a stripped bolt head on the oem skid that was a pain to get out. Even with that, it was a quick install.

Installed new Alpharex Luxx tail lights. Driver side is new Luxx. Passenger side is older Pro series.

https://youtube.com/shorts/W5Z0R1u-UpE?feature=share

This vid shows both sides. Please disregard the flashing of my light bar and tail lights ( out of normal flashes -- camera caused these issues. ).

https://youtube.com/shorts/gVlkYwe7CF4?feature=share

And also put some new wiper blades in. That's all for today.

Which ones are those Blacks, Black-Red, or the Alpha-Blacks? Did you pay full retail or use promo codes?
