If you search parts request you can usually find salvaged parts from parts request. This would at least give you an OEM housing that you could paint to make look like new and add your own upgraded LED's. If you search there are a few pair of Lariat LED Fog lamps on there also. If you...

Did an interior cleaning. Weeks worth of trips to Starbucks with the pup had left the back looking like Stan’s Dad when he finally got access to the internet.

great catch. Curious when Lucas switched to MMT over Toluene. Or maybe they always have and I missed that. But yes don’t use anything with MMT as anything emissions related will get ruined In short order.

Let the jokes begin... :LOL:

Kinda liking that solution. Will have to inquire on the dimensions between the top of the bumper and the bar. If my lighting would fit up there than that would be a great solution to add a winch and retain the lighting.

I'd agree, todays engines are engineered so much better. But old habits are hard to break and $5 every 2000 miles isn't gonna break the bank. I built a custom 2006 Mustang that currently has 180,000 miles. Only major maintenance has been engine mounts and bump steers since it was dropped and...

Lucas Octane Boost 5.25oz bottle. If the price difference between regular and supreme drops back to normal then its just cheaper and less hassle to run the supreme. Always follow the instructions and mix in with a nearly empty tank. Don't over use, more is not better. You'll just end up with...

I try and stay with Chevron and use my Safeway points. 1 out of 10 the pump is messed up and gives me .25-.30 cent gas. I tried once telling the owner the pumps do this. He just shook his head and said it’s Safeways fault. But I normally fill with 91 and every 2000 miles a tank with Lucas...

I saw one last week with an obvious 2”+ failed wheel spacer setup. Whole left side of the vehicle was twerking violently.

One of my next projects is to add the bed power and add an adjustable timer relay for bed lights with a trigger. Example.

At stopped lights I use 303 to quickly polish the rear ends of cars in front of me so I can see my front end reflection better.

might want to crawl under the truck and see if yours is like mine. Mine has a capped plug that matches the schematic where the bed 12vdc plug would go. Drivers side near the bed attached to the major wire loom.

Painted the front and rear emblems to match the truck. Black, Red, and Carbonized Gray. Didn’t realize how much I didn’t like the chrome and blue until it was gone.

Great write up. I may tackle this this weekend. Those heat staked rivets can be a pain. If you do a fair bit of bench wiring and use shrink tube or have use for a small hot air gun a SMD rework station comes in real handy at separating these types of parts. While prying at one section...

I put a roughly 8x8 piece behind the speakers. I never found the doors to really need any sound deadening. There is foam between the door panel and the door attached to the door with insulation on the door panel. I upgraded the stock speakers with Focal IS Ford 165's.

This is covered in the door panel removal video but just a reminder. When removing the door latch mechanism do not pry on the housing as the clip is very small and would be easy to break. If you look just below where the cable enters the housing you will see a press in retainer clip. Just...

My brother in law just got a Plaid. There is nothing more frightening than hitting 100 in dead silence before you even get off the on ramp. Maybe I'm getting old, but its just too much power for an on-road vehicle. Would like to see the manufacturers focus on kWh rather than 0-60 times...

I’ll have to retract this somewhat. The Focals shouldn’t have been that flat. Took the front doors back apart and found the cap on one side was on the negative. Resoldered the speaker and re-installed. Now they hit just as good as the stock but much cleaner. Definitely worth the upgrade...

I should forewarn anyone considering these as a factory upgrade without a subwoofer. I went through this scenario before on my F150. The mid bass on these speakers can only be described as "non existent". Do not use these speakers if you are not planning on a subwoofer. The stock...

Focal speakers to replace all the stock speakers. Once they are installed I can decide which sub to get. For such a small space I’ll go with either the Focal IBUS, (2) Kicker HS8, or (1) Kicker HS10. I’ve had the Focal before and it does have a great musical note to it. Not especially...
