You can look up the specs on the cooler and see what it draws in use and then check the specs on the inverter to see what it puts out. I'm pretty sure the stock inverter will only handle like 5A max. I know you're wanting simple, but a large inverter can be pretty handy, and also you could then...

It's on my list of things to do. The issue comes down to how many amps whatever you wanna plug into it pulls. Lights and charging phones, etc. is easily managed, but when you want to run something like an electric cooler you might find you need a reasonably sized inverter that can handle that...

I just don't like it's one of those things that's not easily reversible. At least with the roof bars if you need to remove them you just unclamp it from the roof to gain the clearance. With a basket that's riv-nutted into the roof that's not really as easily. lol

What's the reason for the S2's on the top of the bed? My GJ Motorsports third brake light is setup with the same lights, just need to get it all installed one of these days. Your backup lights are mounted the same setup as I currently have in the Evil Offroad bumper. It seems like with the S2's...

The last one.

Started on the project tonight. Pretty impressed with the quality of the kits. They come with a 12v power port charger, a 110v wall charger, an HDMI cable, and a cable that includes L/R audio in and out, composite in, batt+ feed, acc feed, and ground. The headrest mounts are pretty nice as they...

I paid 31k for my 2013 with less miles and more mods 3 years ago, but used vehicle values have been up. I feel like a dealer offering any more than 25k in trade would be a surprise to me.

That is also true and I could do that. I've got some thinking time this week before I work on it again. :)

Anyone else ran the roof cross bars? I just really don't like the idea of drilling into the cab to mount a basket.

Seems like everyone must just be doing front lighting? lol

That makes sense as well. Maybe I'll just get some Squadron Sports in combo/driving mounted to the sides of the roof basket and angled slightly forward to light the side/corner of the truck. That should keep the majority of the light off the hood and windshield. It would just be nice to have...

Yes, I decided to use your idea for the magnetic switch as well and purchased the Directed part number you had listed above off Amazon for it. Thank you for that! Also, I have the LVJ Motorsports 6-switch overhead panel that sits above the sunglasses holder in my truck, so I've got tons of...

Both of the units came in, I'll post some pictures and the setup after I get them installed. :)

Finally started the install on this. Previously on my Limited I had a kit mounted to the plastic inward facing part of the bed rails and found quickly that they would get damaged, so the current strips are mounted up under the bed rails with the 3M double sided tape. I haven't 100% decided yet...

Those of us without the stock bumper can't use those. :P

I don't plan on mounting them in the front of the basket but rather the side and angling them towards the corners so they aren't lighting the hood. I plan to use more of a spot rather than the wide cornering or work/scene.

Very nice truck for the price!

Just wanted to hop in here from the Gen 1 forums - there's a few of the Android 10 units starting to trickle in here and there. In my 2013 I have the Android 9 PX6 unit I bought from Phoenix and it has fast boot. I won't say sometimes it's not a little glitchy, but the screen size...

Went ahead and ordered these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B3XR9RWS/?tag=fordraptorforum-20 After reading around the different F-150 forums it was highly recommended to just use tablets with headrest mounts, this way they can be also removed from the video and used separately. Also...

The other thing is that don't you gain like 1.5" of suspension travel with the Gen 2 shocks compared to running Gen 1's? EDIT: No suspension travel gain running any of the 3.0 shocks whether stock or aftermarket. The issue I read was running the stock Gen 2 shock on a Gen 1 without the adapters...

Yea, I'm thinking of using the XL80 lights but mounting them to a roof basket and angling them outwards more to provide more corner/side lighting rather than direct front lighting.

What shocks are you using?

My 2013 Flex came with the stock Invision DVD system and although it worked great for a while one of the screens is starting to crap out in it. I don't really buy DVD's anymore either, so it's slowly becoming more useless besides the fact the kids can plug the Playstation into them since they...

I'll probably shoot ya a message next week once I'm back in town. Thanks! :)

Yea, my last experience with lights on the front of the roof (different vehicle) was a pretty nasty glare off the hood and windshield. I'm not sure why, but the A-pillar mounted lights just don't look quite "right" to me where they are mounted. I feel like if you're using them it would be better...
