I used a 16 gauge stranded wire (do not pick solid core wire). This is pretty standard wire, so nothing fancy :) It should be available at any online or hardware store. If routing anywhere, eg under the vehicle or through the firewall using the firewall tool (~$10), then be sure to use cable...

Yes, that's exactly right on the yellow wire. There is another option to go a longer way around, without the firewall: under the driver's side carpet, there's a rubber removable gasket (you can punch a hole in it). You could thread the wire down through the engine compartment, and up through...

I think this gets to the heart of the question I'm wondering: why exactly is it a bad idea? With 4 low, based on what I've read it may be more risky (due to slight driveshaft/gearing differences between front and rear axles and the transfer case), but the rear axle is driven by the same axle...

Is it okay to briefly (~10 meters ) engage the locking rear diff on concrete, if driving straight? Of course, tires/etc are differently inflated, so diameters are different -- so even straight driving causes two wheels to rotate differently. But at what point does this cause damage? Is it at...

Interesting. I asked them about it earlier this year, and was told the page was a placeholder, and they had no plans to sell this part.

Thanks for the continued thoughts -- I'll likely go option #2. However, why does a higher voltage mean they shouldn't share a common ground? Eg grounding the solar "-". Ground is independent of the + voltage value. Eg it's okay to share grounds for anything DC: +5, -12, +24, +48 V; the ground...

Thanks. Yeah, this is the question that I was wondering in the two scenarios I posted about: is there a difference between 1) connecting solar ground to the chassis near the panel, and placing the charge controller remotely (eg engine bay) while running just the + wire of the panel to the...

Thanks for the thoughts . Why does the ground need to be close to the battery? Wouldn't the BMS already detect the appropriate current, regardless of where on the ground it was attached?

[ I searched around online, but didn't see a direct answer on how to safely do this. Also, didn't see answers to some below questions. ] I already have an 80 W CIGS solar panel installed on my camper shell, charging a power pack. I'm hoping to use it to continuously trickle charge the vehicle...

FYI it doesn't seem like this works on 2021 due to a more integrated headrest that doesn't include the spring/pivot hardware, as people on the thread have mentioned (and i've noticed on my 2021 as well)

Regarding cornering lamps, I haven't switched on that option... I always wonder whether for no-LED lamps, it might reduce lamp lifespan, due to constant on/off without reaching steady operating temp.

Sent my part. Only mentioning to bump the thread. Thanks :)

Out of curiosity, what insulation did you use? Do you have any photos of the process?

Interestingly, I noticed very little change with just the rears (the fronts are still on backorder, so haven't tried with both). This might have to do with a canopy on the back though (~350 pounds).

I've also had early warnings when someone stops suddenly in front of me, but haven't yet gotten to the point of assisted braking (that I can tell, anyway). The lane keeping, though, is very useful for me. I wonder if there is some variability in how well it works between vehicles, since so many...

(Side note: I believe the dealer said the AFN plate has never been / will never be sold)

Has anyone purchased the full-vehicle kits from Weathertech (link) or Heatshield (link)? Specifically for supercab, these are the only two suppliers I could find.

Hmm, good thoughts. "Replace the o rings within the can with the proper one" Which one is the proper one? "Replace the fittings with a/n fittings" Do you mean, replace all the fittings (except the ones that go to the engine) with a/n fittings? I had thought that the fittings to the engine...

I read this thread, and may have missed the answer to this: is there a shock sensor with any trim/package or perimeter alarm, or ONLY with aftermarket perimeter plus? Ie is there any factory ranger package that includes perimeter plus? It's odd if we can't get a vehicle with a shock sensor... I...

Thanks for asking -- it's essentially completed, so I'm planning the next 2 posts in the next week or so.
