    I appreciate the advice! I absolutely will not be one of the people who look at their phone while driving. It is idiotic and I get frustrated when I see people do so without care.

    My backup camera is very tiny and on my rearview mirror so I want to see if I can route it to my head unit for a larger view there.
    Thank you for your advice. I will start a new thread tomorrow probably and see if I can get my dad to record a video of the noise. It is very strange and perplexing.

    I wanted to share the work I did on my truck today!
    I found some cool running boards of a gen3 for free on Facebook marketplace, and restored and repainted the brackets, and installed it on my truck, with a total cost of 10$ and I think it looks great!

    I took a video of the flashers for you!


    They look a little underwhelming in the day and on camera but I can assure you they flash much quicker and brighter and they are fun to turn on to surprise my friends.
    I also reinstalled my bed cap and did a bunch of work cleaning, as well as repainting some visible rust on my tow hitch and skid plate + front frame end!! I am so happy with how it all came out

    How it looks after my work today
