I wanted this:

And I'm okay with the price, but my wife would kill me right now as we are starting a huge bathroom (x2) renovation.

So I did this using a headrest mount for an iPad or portable DVD player:

I bought the headrest mounts (two-pack) for $17.99 on Amazon vs. the $174.99 of the Greyman Tactical kit. I would prefer the Greyman bracket, but I also prefer staying alive. My wife would murderize me for the spend right now. ? I just bought bathroom vanities and a TV console, and bathroom tile is next. ?

Yes you can. Just enable the setting called "Daytime Running Lights Includes Parklamps" on the BCM.
Thank you for this advice. Installed them last weekend.

Also tinted the fogs yellow with the Lamin-x film and matched the front windows to the rears (20%.)
Will post better photos later

You know what don't complain about the money I spent on my Ranger when you are spending $175 on plastic panels. lol

Here is a cut to size sheet at 4' x 2' - the same thing I use for my roof platform for $26 a pop.

Went to the dealer to get the Works package done. Last May it cost 54 bucks, this time it was $80, that one hell of a price increase from one year to the next.? Gas jumped up to $4.84, just nuts. No Rangers on the lot, they asked if I was interested in selling mine. :LOL:

Price for "The Works" has gotten out of control. That is about what it is here too. Gas similar also. ?

What amp did you go with and what route did you take to the battery for the positive feed?
Amp: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_20646CX41T/Kicker-46CXA400-1T.html
Sub: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_206CVR104/Kicker-CompVR-43CVR104.html

I had the amp, sub and the wiring sitting around so that's why I used them.

Amp is nice because it can do high-level over RCA and it turns on/off without a remote wire.

I used the big grommet near the peddles to bring the power into the truck then ran it under the trim along the floor in the driver side.

Would probably use a different sub because the magnet rubs sloped wall of this box.

that's a possibility. I like that the breaker is resettable. Not set on it, and may toy with using the fuse that's already on it. I have to extend the lines and wanted the least amount of splicing possible. I don't have a splice setup for 8 gauge wire, which is what I will be using to extend the compressor wiring. It's much easier to crimp eyelets on it.
This is the larger of two junction points in my engine bay. Project box, inside is a couple of relays, bus bar for ground/power, and some terminal blocks. Everything from running lights, to right/left turn signals, hi beam have a tapped trigger line run in here so I can disconnect or add on the fly.

Technically got my truck back last night, but I didn’t have time to post I was too busy driving around, listing to my new stereo. I’m stoked for this!!


And considering the demographic here I put on a song/artist I figure we should all be able to enjoy.



Here’s one a little deeper in the song, a bit more sound that shows.

That's an awesome song along with Kate McCannon
