Switched out my factory side markers for smoked legs and I like how they look. I will also be putting on black rocker panel covers when they get here.

Got into Forscan and did a few things:
Turned off most of the Chimes and Fake Engine Noise
Added Off Road Gauge (why isn't this defaulted ON for any level 4x4?)
Turned off Cluster Welcome/Goodbye backlighting
Enabled Bambi Mode

Did the ABS Service Bleed and Reset (did notice an improvement)

What exactly is the welcome/goodbye backlighting that everyone seems to hate? I haven't made this change but if I knew what it is I might hate it too lol. Nothing bothers me upon entering or leaving the truck, aside from the chimes and double honk that I got rid of. Maybe it's the retina burning brightness of the display screen when you open the door? I haven't given that much attention.

I have an 2020 XLT. I don't know if the welcome/goodbye "animation" is different between trim levels or not. Now that I changed it, I don't really remember exactly everything it did :blush:. This happens in the gauge cluster and as I remember shows a blue screen that breaks up with multiple squares. About 2:46 in this YouTube video shows the "goodbye" portion. As I recall the Welcome animation wasn't as subtle.

Took a bit of care and loaded up the Plano Tactical Rifle Cases on my Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform today. They have a great weather seal and pick n pull foam interiors, but most important of all, two of the four clasps are lockable! Gotta keep it safe, right?

I know a lot of forum members are “gun guys” so I know you’re anxious to see what I have stowed away in there.

I need the long breaker bar in case I come across @P. A. Schilke with a flat on his Lincoln and he needs someone to get his lugs past that 172 ft/lb spec!

The other case is for if I come across @AzScorpion or @dondonbabyraptor and they have a detailing emergency but they’ve run out of supplies.

Hi Duke,

Yep! I have a very half inch breakerbar and a cheater pipe with a 6 point thick wall socket on it to handle the lugs. The pathetic little wrench I got with the Lincoln is not going to work for me....

This being weenie armed at 72 years old sucks...but it is what it is....

Best,
Phil
