Well, it’s seems a shame to have 6 upfitter switches connected to nothing.
That should fill up a few weeks for you.

And welcome to the Tremor club.

Tis true, I have ideas for three of the switches.
On board air compressor (seen a guy do this to his 5g Raptor Ranger on YouTube. Prob from AUS.) had two points to hook up his air line below the passenger rear door and driver rear door, tank was under the bed.. very stealthy install (very much want to do… won’t be able to do that one till late August. The guy I trust to help me with all the work and details won’t be back in the state till then….sooo lights it is I want ditch lights and light bar over the windshield.
Probably the ditch lights/sideshots? Idk the ones that mount near the hood hinges. First shouldn’t put me over the monthly TRuCK stuff allowance. ? also wifey needs to like the look of everything too (her being the better half and everything ?.)

I recently bought these pod light brackets. What I like about them is the mounting part is sold and not open like most so when you tighten them they can't walk off the bolts. They're built well and super easy to instal.

This coming Tuesday I’ll have
DeeZees Tailgate Damper.
The Stubby 4” antenna.
Mountains2metal honeycomb insert.
Rhino recovery hitch&shackle (red)
And Ford Front Recovery points (red)
So it’ll be a mini Christmas in July for me? I quit vaping so I cancelled the window deflector vent visor things…
Next week is order detail stuff…. What do I order for week three, four, and the end of July ?

I've got the WeatherTech window deflectors, and also have to park mine outside. In the summer, I leave all four windows cracked a little bit, so that with the deflectors it's not noticeable from the outside, and rain won't get through, but it lets all off the hot, stuffy air flow in and out of the cab, so that it's not like getting into an oven (yes, it can get hot up here in Canada, too! ...and I also spend a lot of time down in NC.)

OP, save some mods for the rest of us!!?

Ooo I do like that they’d have a much more difficult time to grow legs. And having the dual pods would have me think twice about putting a light bar on the roof..(I’m not es-scared of drilling into body panels and such, just would only do it if it’s absolutely necessary.)
Thanks again you have redirected me and saved me from having to put anything on the roof of the truck.. wifey will be happy about that too. (Mrs OGMix says it makes her nervous to drive anything that has stuff mounted on the top, she even asked it there was a way to relocate the antenna ?.)
Any opinion about how the inboard pod on the driver side may intrude on the drivers sight through the windshield?

Like anything new it was different and maybe a little distracting at first but not that bad. I've had them on there for a couple months now and I don't even notice them. You can just mount 1 pod light on each bracket at first to see how you like that then add the other ones after but I'd just jump in head first with both and get it over with. ?

I’m definitely the dive right in…. Which got me today actually when installing the TG damper ? (excited it came early and who needs instructions it’s just a little damper ?.) i figured out why the driver side cable is just a tiny bit of a slacker but it doesn’t bother me (also it was my doing, fix it later I will.)
Cool kids crew here I come ?

Now I know you’re fibbing ? it gets hot in Canada… poppycock ? just kidding.
Mrs OGMix pointed this out to me that the ac seems to turn on when you remote start. So when it’s her turn to take the truck she’s been starting the truck a min or two before she heads out during hot season.. burns a bit of fuel I suppose, so gas mileage takes a slight hit but we still got 20.3mpg on the fuel econ so not that bad I suppose.. do you have a picture of the weather techs? are they “low profile” style? are they in channel or outside mount? And does it cut down on the wind noise with a cracked window pretty good in the 65mph-75mph speeds?
Got me reconsidering getting wind deflectors now. ?

I have the WeatherTech.
In channel.
Low profile.
Does reduce wind noise a little, I guess, when windows partially opened.
Easy to install.
I really like mine.

Well that didn't take long! Welcome to the club. lol

I almost forgot there's a damper mod for when your cable gets pinched between the damper and the body. Yes, we have a mod for other mods on here to help you spend more money. ? Luckily this one is an easy and cheap one.

Sweet I got THE “T-shirt” ???.
Ahh I see thanks i noticed there was a bit of a pinch situation on the damper side. I just shifted the tailgate towards the passenger side for a smiggin extra room on the driver side. A quick right turn might shift it back over.. (tailgate on my truck seems to have about a 3/8” play left to right.. is that bad? Err normal I suppose is what I’m asking… I’m sure it’s fine ?.)
Im going to check it out.
Thanks Az

Here's a couple of pics. @ChrisM has already given you my same answers to your questions, so I won't add anything there.

As for hot in Canada....https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/thre...o-covid-or-politics.6283/page-890#post-681161
