    Trickle charge connection.

    I’ve never had that issue with charger connected. I leave the hood open every time. Maybe try closing the hood and locking the truck with the charger connected?

    Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, I thought about a trailer too but the trails up here in BC are super narrow and I would hate having to back up a trailer. It really depends what you want to do. I like exploring so I don't really stay in one spot for a long time. A friend of mine with his raptor...

    Tune Detection - Ford Dealer

    If I recall correctly, you can reflash it back, just make sure you have enough drive cycles recorded after as the counter is reset to 0? 6-8 recorded drive cycles should be sufficient to bring it back. source: service manager

    I couldn't be any more happy with them. They are super beefy. All my friends have commented on how strong everything looks. With the tent on, I can literally jump and/or rock around in the tent as much as I want and I will be moving the truck. Zero flex or movement in the brackets. Been...

    Thanks for the kind words. I was thinking of putting some stuff on that area of the firewall but I decided I will mount the Switch Pro in that area. Not much free space around the engine bay in these trucks! Was thinking of doing the fridge on a slider in the back as well but decided to keep...

    New Sync update avail

    I updated mine 2 days ago. I hooked up a charger to the battery and left the truck in ACC mode while it did the update over WIFI in my garage. I went to bed and woke up the next day with the truck off and update completed. I sat in the truck for 5 min and the bar for the file download didn't...

    Ordering Eibach Springs - What Spring Compressor?

    I pretty much did the same thing. Needed 1 set to remove the stock springs (but they were already starting to bend). Used a friends wall mounted spring compressor to get the eibachs in. I have some pictures in my build thread for those that are interested...
