I finally adjusted my tire size with forescan. I upsized my tires by about 7% over 2 years ago, lol.

Nice! What size are you running and what did you change in forscan? I'm dragging my feet on this currently.

Just received and installed my stubby antenna from builtright.

Also kept working on getting my bed panels setup. Got the last bit of SS hardware needed from HD after having to get slightly creative (not really) with mounting the DC/DC charger since none of the mounting lined up properly. It was quick and dirty with some 1" aluminum flatstock, but it did the trick.

Anyone agree/disagree with installing grommets to cushion the DC/DC charger? Unlike the inverter, it's mounting points are plastic and I was concerned with it cracking if firmly bolted to the panels. Maybe I'm over thinking it? Grommets weren't my first choice, but all HD had. Might look into rubber spacers.

Just need to install the battery monitor (arriving tomorrow) and make up the bed lighting wire harnesses and it should be useable, even if temporary for now.

The factory setting was 2365mm for 265/60-18 but Tiresize.com lists 2433mm for that size.

I'm on 285/70-17 now which Tiresize.com lists at 2609mm so I set it to 2530mm which is the same 3% drop as 2365mm represents.

I didn't test it yet because I had a few glasses of wine already, just sat in the garage playing with it. I'll take it out in the moring and bring the laptop, making as many adjustments as I need to get it in sync with GPS speedometer app. I'll update after I zero it in.

This was quite the process for me too, when I upgraded sizes. I’m all my 3 tire sizes after factory, none of them have been what the calculator says they should be.

Installed a sequential LED mirror turn signals and matching marker lights. Quick and easy and a nice visual upgrade for ~$75:

Forgot to post the other day, but used the Ranger to grab some late night sweets. The Blue Bell Dr Pepper ice cream was gross

Got home from our trip after 9 days, plus 5 days previously not starting. Even though I was sick I went and started and let idle for about 15 minutes.
Also had a typhoon blow through, even it was in my carport it's a mess. A another day task.

Agreed. Its almost like you can taste the carbonation of the DP. Sorry Blue Bell, you missed on this one!

2460mm is my final setting for LT285/70-17 D-Rated Duratrac with 40,000km or 25,000m on them.

Wow. So it really is just guess and check. Good to know. Soon enough I'll get forscan download on my laptop so I can make a few tweaks. Actually may go do that roght now. Thanks for reporting back.

Spent 5 minutes removing the OEM puddle lamps and replaced them with Bright TRAX lamps. The Bright TRAX lamps are incredible.

Dropped it off for its annual inspection tomorrow, and to have the Eibach sport shocks installed that have been sitting in my garage for well over a year. Yes, I could've installed them myself, as I am very well mechanically inclined. However, I'm not motivated enough anymore to go launching wrenches across the garage with the speed of a major league pitcher which will undoubtedly go through a window as I am spewing out loud, horribly abrasive but creative profanity that could only be matched by Satan himself. I couldn't hit the broad side of a bull's ass, but you know d*mn well that f*cking wrench WILL find the window! H*ll, I'm getting pissed off just typing about it!!!

Although I am a technician I do have as some would say Bitch mitts, and yet I still struggled an ass ton to get to the pcv to complete the jlt catch can install. Got it done pressure washed engine bay. It was very much needed. While I had wheel off decided to paint the caliper. Before any say anything about the overspray. I get cases and cases of brake clean free yea I sprayed everything down after lmao.

Installed my new engine cover from Levitown Ford. Found the Krylon Pepper Red a good match. It is not a match for the red positive battery cover despite the iPhone picture.


I’m going to write it down for prosperity; I am done with mods!!
