Where did you get the key fob covers? The carbon fiber is cool

Well, after a grueling 11 month (April 2024) and 2 order wait, I finally picked up the truck yesterday. Decided to get ahead of the battery issues and installed a Noco 2 bank charger/maintainer in the engine bay. I know its not meant to be installed in the truck but I tend to go on large road trips and work out of town frequently. Better to have it on me at all times.
When I plugged in the Noco for the first time, only the first red bar was blinking which means the batteries were under 25%. Truck computer showed a voltage in the low 13s.
After having the truck plugged in for about an hour I went on a drive and the truck computer showed 14v. So far so good! Ill clean up the wiring tomorrow.

Also installed the bulletpoint Solutions Rubigrid, along with the Magsafe phone mount and charger.

Not sure how much they are now but was $16 for two 4 years ago. Had same on trx to BTS to rho now. So quality not bad at all.

Had this rigids installed 3 weeks ago. It was a gift from over a year ago. Took them on hunting trip last few days. If anyone looking for something they are great. Driving pattern and was perfect balance between strait far and just enough for ditch light. Well at least for me was worried will use up a lot of angle view but didn't bother me at all for past 3 weeks in city or off the road.

I ordered that same bulletpoint

I like it so far. I’m a bit concerned after @Ctech-Review video about leaving the 12v cigarette lighter plugged into the MagSafe dock draining batteries though.

The center power outlet is selectable to be battery fed (Default setting) or be ignition fed. To change the setting you need to move the F54 fuses position. See manual screenshot below:
Power Outlet Fuse Locations
1 — F54 Fuse 20 A Yellow Power Outlet Battery Fed
Position
2 — F54 Fuse 20 A Yellow Power Outlet Ignition Fed
Position
3 — F62 Fuse 10 A Red Port Power or Rear USB
(Charge Only)
When the vehicle is turned off, be sure to unplug any
equipment as to not drain the battery of the vehicle.
All accessories connected to the outlet(s) should be
removed or turned off when the vehicle is not in use to
protect the battery against discharge.

I'll platy around with this today and report back. Thanks!

Did the Sharkfin relocation so I could fit into my garage. Even with the relocation, I have less than a quarter inch from the roof of the garage to the panoramic moonroof. Big pucker factor first time pulling in. One of these photos is from the inside of the truck looking straight up at the garage roof.

Also hardwired the radar in.

The giant GPS antenna on the roof of the truck impedes some owners ability to get into parking structures because the antenna is almost 3 inches taller than the top of the trucks roofline.
TRX guys did this to solve the height issue and we can do the same. There’s a thread on here about it but you essentially take that antenna and put in hidden inside the cable and plug the hole on the roof where the cables used to come through.

Thanks. I am aware of the antenna and its potential clearance issue. I just wasn't aware of any option to move it. I'll look for the thread you mentioned. Good to know, I think my clearance is going to be tight too.

Dusted off the vinyl cutter waiting for wider vinyl to do hood. Also, installed RC e-boards not too bad and they really tuck. Did the RC cover the other day. De-badged door will do tail gate later.

Wired up M & R reverse light kit to aux switches. Pretty pleased … tucked up to bumper well … digging out the aux wire harness from under the fuse box was the hardest part.

Did XPEL Prime XR Plus ceramic tint on every pane of glass on the entire truck today.
