Just installed Sumosprings this morning. Easy install. Now to see how well they work.

 

Washed and applied black light, put on fog light covers

 

Actually the tether holds it while it rest on the side of the truck. ;-)

 

Washed with Meguiar’s carnauba plus wash and waxed with Meguiar’s ultimate polymer carnauba paste wax. Love these products. Have been using them for 15+ years and always happy with the results

 

I just string the gas cap tether through the two prong on the panel and works great

 

But that is not a mod, that is just common sense. Does not apply.

 

That was the point of the post lol
And letting it rest against the truck is a mod?

That’s really sweet!

 

I installed some LED lights in my 3rd Brake light.... surprisingly easy. You do need a torx bit, stand in the bed, unscrew the lens, pluck the incandescent bulbs, insert 3 LEDS. Easy.

I only had 2 so left the middle stock and now the LED's light up quicker than the stock bulb so it's a very quick strobe effect, though I am going to put the third in there when it comes.....

they are noticeably brighter and since I was rear ended once it's hopefully some cheap insurance to prevent that.....

194's is what I am showing as the size/bulb type and a pack of 10 was under 10 bucks so super cheap too.

 

Ah, the joys of an access cab.

 

What do you use for the black fender pieces? They look so nice, I use some chemical guys tire shine spray that they say can be used on the plastic fender pieces but it doesnt look half as good and gets very streaky

 

I like the Access cab and the look of it... i think the 4 door pickups look kind of weird like a hybrid of a tall 4door car and a truck....... but I do see the appeal of having room for 5 .

 

I use this stuff every 3 months or so and it lasts forever. I also coated my truck with this a few months ago and beads like crazy

I did not check the tensioner, should I have? I thought 85K was a decent lifespan for these belts based on what some folks have said...

 

Nice!! What covers did you install on the fog lights?

 

Installed a Redarc brake controller and hooked up my wife’s, new-to-her, 2 horse trailer (empty)—then took it for a test spin.

I am not planning on towing with her horse loaded up, plus tack etc. I love this truck but based on my calculations I would be maxing out tow capacity, GVWR etc with a fully loaded horse trailer. Probably gonna be a two truck family: Taco and an F150.

wide angle photo makes it look like the trailer isn’t level but that’s mostly an optical illusion. She sat quite level, rear suspension is stock and probably wouldn’t sag as much (about 2.5”) with heavier duty leaf springs.

 

After 5 months of waiting, my Tepui Kekanum 3 finally arrived, along with my Yakima 7G Roadshower. I also updated my NFab nerf steps to some Havoc Offroad running boards.
