    PC will give you more or less throttle on your gas panel. For example, City mode: you can drive better than stock. Sport/Sport+: You can feel more power on throttle.

    https://pedalcommander.com/pages/product-information-page

    There are many YouTube videos about Pedal Commander and reviews. You can look it up and learn.

    Ok found your build thread lol.

    I have an ARE cap on order that will look very similar to your Leer.

    I’ll be ordering bed stiffeners here in the next few weeks… What type are you using? Would you recommend them?

    Yes I recommend the bed stiffeners... I got them at Amazon website years ago. I can't remember the name of it.

    Bed stiffeners are great for the cap with popup tent on top of cap.

    I will take a picture of my stiffeners and post it on here.

    Awesome thanks for the photo. I’m still deciding which ones to get since I have a few months before my cap will be delivered.

    Thanks! They said the lead time is approx. 15 weeks right now but I’m hoping it comes quicker.

    Heheh.. how are you doing?

    Can't wait until weather is settled down. So I can go off road and camp. It is so hot, storm...

    Probably next weekend before I go out there to camp.

    You have the same XB headlights as mine which shown in the photo in my first post?
