You definitely have the best toys!
It figured something that shape and that colour has to be a Constitution Class. It also kept with a theme, my last bike was Serenity.
The name is a double hit for me. HM Endeavour was Cook's ship and the USS Endeavour was TOS. Yes I've nerding real good! LOL

Where is your winch, air compressor, and improved under armor
Air compressor is in the bed...still saving up for Shrock hidden winch bumper...and I don't feel the need for improved under armor as I will not be rock crawling...I'll be overlanding ?

I came here to ask about your front tow shackles because I didn't see them in the build list anywhere.

also...

RE:Spark plugs...

I had a 2013 Focus ST, I tuned it hot and did a bunch of mods at around 30K. At 60K I figure it was time to change plugs (people on the forums were complaining about misfires and showing bad, worn out plugs). This was around late 2014 or so, so the 2015's were out. The plugs I ordered were OEM (Sp534 plugs I believe). The ones that came out of my car were pristine, and could have gone another 60K easily. I ended up changing them out because I had them in hand...

At 90K I checked them again and they were ate to crap. The Gap was like 50 thousandths and the ground was severely pitted. Turns out the factory plugs on the 2013 were awesome, and there was a mid year "refresh" in 2014 where they just changed the quality of the materials making the plugs last less than half as long.

They all had the same part numbers too...

Do they seem like they could take "reasonable" side load? The mounts look a bit scrawny on the rough country site...

I know that the factory hooks are difficult to access, but they can take a mad beating if necessary.

How did you mount your trigger to the battery? Thats where I'm thinking of installing mine but I want to make sure it sticks.
It just sits there...it's height is just tall enough to sit snugly between the battery and the hood liner so it kinda trapped there...never moved in the 60,000 miles?

Where did you get those center caps for the wheels? They look amazing. I’d put them on my Jeep or Ranger for sure.

I had one of these in my last truck. Technology has improved since then so might have to think about doing what you have. Last one I had got a 2 bar boost easily out of it. That one work with 5G?
