    2012: New LEDs and Color

    Looks like they may have just dropped in one of the 5 bulb versions available here: Ford F-150 2011 - Ford HID Kits - NOTTO® SE - LED Daytime Running Lights I'm all for DRL's. It is one of my real pet peeves on limited visibility days and I'm pulling out onto the highway. Just please give...

    Need a better snatch strap

    And just to clarify and reiterate... The Smittybilt CC330 is a recovery strap...not a "snatch" or "kinetic" rope. It is designed more for towing...NOT designed for jerking a stuck vehicle free. It really makes all the difference to have the rebound engineered into the rope or strap when...

    Sound system

    2nd the JL Audio sub recommendation... in fact they make a Stealthbox for mounting under the rear seat. Very simple. Link is here: Ford F150 Stealthbox by JL Audio

    Feasibility of MyFord Touch and Sync upgrades

    Thanks a lot guys for the info. Have you had success with loading and running the Sync Status Checker v1.3 from the syncmyride.com site? It never completes for me and always shows an error when I try to report the installation.

    Raptizzle Tail lights (via Hi-Tech)

    I grew up in Southwest Michigan with two brothers with last name Brenner. Family ran Brenner Oil Company. Doug and I played Little League, etc. together. Could easily see him in a Raptor.

    Rear Park Aid

    Don't feel I'd need it for your run of the mill grocery store lot. It would be for parallel parking where reverse is the first thing to happen and then the camera does not time out right away so forward cam would be active. Maybe an ideal programming would be: => when preceded by...

    Raptizzle Tail lights (via Hi-Tech)

    Is that A10FXR's truck in the picture with the Michigan plates? Thought he was a Cali Kid.

    Rear Park Aid

    Susanne, My question is can the Nav-TV unit automagically display split screen images of both the front and rear cameras at the same time when the truck is placed into reverse (ie..any time the factory backup cam is triggered)??? No goofy button holding or other crap...just dual video split...

    Rear Park Aid

    I think my ideal situation would be to have a front cam too. Then when parking and you enter reverse, the backup cam and front cam would come up split screen or something like that. I love having backup cams but wish I had the same view in front. Are you listening Nav-TV...nothing fancy...

    Rear Park Aid

    maybe a camera in front...? Brings to mind this crazy FJ Cruiser setup that user "Wikid" did...8 cameras, 4 monitors. Not really my cup of tea but I guess if you're rock crawling or whatever.... I think his equipment came from Total Vision.

    Tool Box / Air Compressor Encllosure

    SPRSNK...please elaborate. I have the 2011 SCREW and I need to learn of this magical storage space behind the rear seats and how it is accessed??? Let's see...two tow ropes, a spade, jumper cables, air compressor accesories and a Pelican toolbox all behind the rear seat--I can't wait. Do...

    My truck is in!!

    Parked next to a Molten S Cab this evening...pretty clean. Saw he had these mud flaps. Came home and figured out what ones he had. Have two pair on the way. $92 with shipping. Their louvered look mirrors the running board step and the hood vents. Can't hurt.

    Rear Park Aid

    Does my truck have this? Do any Raptors have it? I've got all the option pkgs that matter including the backup camera...but no Rear Park Aid...you know the beeping to warn you you're going to hit something. Owner's Guide discusses it on page 36 as part of the Instrument Cluster Settings...

    Feasibility of MyFord Touch and Sync upgrades

    No replies so I'll bump my own and add a little...now that I have my truck. RE: Bluetooth control of iPhone apps.... Seems to work fine for stop, play, pause, etc. No display of song etc. but works nicely. Anyone gone the PC integration road...using the Nav display for browser, etc?

    My truck is in!!

    I may be going for some flaps...just washed the truck today...got home...why'd I bother? Oh well, looks tough...but can't be great having mud, grime and stones flung up constantly. Randy...thanks again, I love it. UPS should have some stuff for you tomorrow.

    First 1000 miles on 2011 crew cab

    So now...back to the regularly scheduled thread.... I think the "workaround" that works great is the one Iceman posted...add another hard drive to the alternate USB port. The built-in "Jukebox" only has 10GB of capacity. While there are tons of options available...any of the external...

    First 1000 miles on 2011 crew cab

    The crazy part is that he asks an administrator to remove the post...umhh...just edit the post again and remove all the crap your little turd head son posted. :-) But it does raise the question...should we start a "best fiction" forum? jk
