Looking good Duke!

Beautiful build, really impressed by all the work you put into it. Thanks for all the pictures.

I've seen your build page in your sig and always got sidetracked onto something else so apologies for not commenting sooner. True North has come a long way and it looks fantastic brother! You have a lot of talent and patience but that comes natural with your line of work. I remember you showing me the pictures when you restored your front fence & rails and the attention to detail you put into it was amazing. Never mind the patience to do all of those! It all shows in your build...great job and great looking Ranger!

Now you know you just need one more inexpensive little mod to put the icing on the cake right?

Thanks Doug - I think I’m good for a while - we’ll, at least until spring. ?

Yep, we've all said that before.

 

[AzScorpion]

Thanks very much Dave. I appreciate the kind words - working on True North is way more fun than grinding, priming and painting hundreds of wrought iron balusters.

I’ll make you a deal. When things get back to normal and if I’m able to make the 33-hour trip down there, I’ll pick one up and give you the pleasure of installing it in person. It’ll cost you one Graphene tutorial, then dinner and beer’s are on me at your favourite Mexican restaurant in Avondale.

Let’s hope it’s sooner rather than later. ?

Oh don't you tease me like that! I'll sweeten the deal and even detail your truck.

Doug,

Truer words were never spoken - I can’t even get out of the starting blocks. I forgot I had ordered something and it showed up at the door just now. ??‍

FYI to fellow Canadian members: IIRC, $80 from Fortier Ford in Anjou, QC. In Toronto, they want twice that.

Poetic justice.

good looking truck man that snorkel bit for the roush intake is interesting

 

[daniel3507]

How are the cases secured to the rack? Do you have to drill through the case?

Thanks Jacob,

If you’re talking about the red aFe POWER Magnum air scoop, it’s one piece vs. two for OEM scoop and has a bigger opening and smoother curves - supposed to deliver more cool air to the Roush intake and to the engine - more horses? Maybe. More fun? Hell yeah.

The red matches up nicely with the battery terminal cover…or so @dondonbabyraptor told me - likely to make me feel better because the black ones were sold out. ?

For the price, it seems functional enough

Hah, you may be on to something about what I said Duke, but it really does match well

Phase One - Okay, the fun begins this weekend with the first phase of the True North build. A ton of boxes have been dropped off from Westin, Rough Country, Bushwacker, General Tire, Ford, Action Truck Accessories, Menace Wheels, Standard Graphics, Galaxy Auto, and a bunch of others. The guys at my tire shop and local Ford dealer have stepped up, I've cleaned out the garage, made sure I have all the right tools on hand, and it's now in my hands. There's a lot to do and I'll be busy but will try and post pics at each stage of the build. See you on the other side...

so will it be a dress package or are you going to give the engine some upgrades?

 

[Highlander]

Tom,

You’ll have to read on to Phase Three - there’s a moderate performance upgrade and some suspension goodies to help it out a bit.

Phase Four may or may not include a Roush tune and catback. We’ll see.

I didn't read why you got rid of the bushwackers?

Great truck by the way!

It’s been awhile since I’ve made any modifications or additions to True North. Recently, Wolfbox sent me their G900 Tripro mirror dashcam to install and review. I set it up with a grille camera, a rear camera on my Pioneer Platform Rack, and of course, the mirror dashcam itself.

Wiring cameras to the front and rear of the truck isn’t as difficult as it seems but it’s quite a bit of work. You can see all the details in the install thread I posted.

How do you like your Wolfbox so far ?

 

[IdahoRanger]

Duke sue the pants off them for stealing your trademark name.

 

[Chris M]

Just a small addition to True North to complement my DORF/DOOD Raptor-style grille. Yep, three amber LED lights. Yep, the kind that plug into the side marker lamp. Yep, cheapo version from China.
