Ty brother

 

I appreciate the help!!!!!

 

I've had great luck with AntennaX. I had a 13" stubby that worked basically like my OEM one. Just got the off-road antenna and that works great as well.

 

What paint did you use?

 

2 coats of rustoleum flat primer, 4 coats of rustoleum satin black & 2 coats of rustoleum matte clear. All from home depot

That's the off-road one I'm using now, I like it cuz it's bendy. I've had three of these over the years and have been satisfied.

 

Thanks!!!

 

I put an XAV1000 in my 4Runner. Not super impressed. Pretty limited unit that’s basically just “budget” apple carplay. Hardly any changeable settings. My traditional double din non touchscreen Sony in my Tacoma has better features lol.

The XAV1000 is also front USB only which is bothersome. Front USBs aren’t clean looking imo.

Anyway, bought it cause it was on sale last fall and the stocker unit was garbage and technically the 4Runner is my wife’s to drive so I didn’t care too much about performance beyond Apple CarPlay, which I will say does work great, and is the only good thing about the unit.

Can’t even change background wallpapers from the stock cheesy options.

I’d opt for the XAV100 or the 5000 if I had to do it over and it was going in my truck.

 

Alright ladies and gentlemen, your "RAPTOR" lights look good, but can you not call them that? To me it sounds like you wish your truck was as cool as a Ford. FYI your truck is better, has a bigger almost cult like following, massive aftermarket upgrades, and far more reliable.

 

Do not refer to something you’ve done to your property with your money as you please, you must only use some randoms list of approved terms and descriptions.

 

All I'm saying is rename them. Give them a cool name. I'm not bashing the lights, as I think they look good.

 

thanks for this feedback...sent on a bit of a research mission. I dig the 5000.

Do you think the backup camera mount could be integrated to this unit and move from the rearview to the touchscreen, based on what you know?

 

I honestly have no idea. Seems possible. They do have conversion harnesses that convert the OEM cam from rear view to the OEM touchscreen (see link).

I can’t imagine converting from rear view to aftermarket unit is that much more involved. Only hiccup is OEM cams run at like 5v and not on a traditional RCA jack so not sure how that integrates.

I rocked the raptor lights for a while, then my front end got replaced post accident and I left them off.

But y'all gotta get on my level with the "dually clearance lights"

 

I'm with Dan on this one. Absolutely you're free to pay homage to the truck you wish you'd bought. Your money, your truck. But it's not a Ford, so it seems odd to me to use their brand on your rig. Do you mount a swingaway spare mount and call it a Wrangler mount? Put a factory roof rack on the cab and call it an XTerra rack?

 

I’m getting some raptor lights now.
