I wanna say the impact of the door blowing shut "jostled" the lock button enough to lock the door. But then you said it happened again...

Mounted the faceplate and wired the trailer brake controller yesterday. Fair wrestling match, that. I did end up pulling the stock fascia and side panels off in order to cut a relief for the wiring that runs from the Stedi mount, and to run the trailer brake wires. It looks great, works great...

Hi Eric. I haven't quite gotten around to it yet. I just figured out the wiring diagrams for my two switches today, should be installing tomorrow or Thursday. I haven't tried snapping the back hooks into the panel yet, just the front ones. I'll let you know if I have the same trouble you're having!

If you live in a cold climate you may want to reconsider installing that damper. At -40 it takes just over a full minute to open completely! ???

Got my Stedi switches, mounted my trailer brake controller in it, along with two switches - one for my backup alarm and one for rear cargo lights (all 3 are yet to be installed...) Here's what the Stedi switch panel looks like. It just snaps into place, no need to disassemble the dash.

Just a heads up - you may want to check this on your truck. The plastic wiring harness anchor just above the alternator has a sharp point that has come in contact with my lower radiator hose enough to wear a hole in the hose. You may want to check your hose! (This is a view from below, while...

You've probably figured it out by now, but here's a pic of the right rear bracket. I remember wrestling with that, trying to figure out how they go...

I would suggest not filling your fresh water tank unless you know you're going to be dry camping for a few days. You'll save a bunch of weight. If you'll be at serviced campsites most of the way you won't need water in that tank.

Kevreh, I think this is what you were originally thinking of. It's sturdy, but I don't think it would support a bike if you went anywhere off-road. This is the stock Ford rack that tapers on each side. There's an aftermarket one that's square that might have more vertical supports, that might...

I did that very thing on my 2017 Titan. Kept the nice ride and gave me a 2" lift (to almost level) in the front. Billy's on the lowest setting and a 2" spacer on top of the strut. The purists howled! Lol!!!

Parked next to a big pile of dirt...

The view from behind. This is with 1" spacers andn275/70R18 tires. I like the stance!

Thanks, Tom, glad to help. I don't have an original bone in my body, so everything I've done I've copied from others, too! I'm just glad I can pay it forward, if that's what this is!

Crowsnest Pass would be about 30 or so miles to the right of this photo. Some of the mountains of Waterton National Park are the ones on the left...

Well, now we know why it's called a bash plate. Took the hit dropping into a runoff that cut into the ice/snow/muskeg at work. I was alone and didn't want to have to fetch a dozer to.pull me out, so I approached slowly, and as the tires dropped into the cut I hit the gas to create some momentum...

Thanks for the shout-out, @Jamesb! I did put 1" spacers on with the stock 18" rims because I was worried about the tight clearance between the stock tire and the top of the steering knuckle. After installing the spacers and the new 175/70R18 tires I have about 1" clearance, so the tires are...

Just adding a few pix from today... The magnetic (color, not metallurgy) letters from Eyecatchers went on today as well. Good quality, great instructions. Thanks guys!

DHH, thanks for your well-considered reply. Perhaps I was a bit zealous (but not overly so ?) in my original post, but I wrote it sitting in the driver's seat at the end of a 14 hour/1200 km day pulling the trailer home, and wanted it to be fresh. And I had had 14 hours to think about it! Lol...
