After TRR less than a couple weeks ago, finally had today to clean the underside. Found some post TRR damage. What a ******** design by Ford to expose the crossmember exhaust and even have the skid plate raised before it. No idea what they were thinking. Oh well, its just the cost to play and will get the KHC skid plates so this doesn’t happen again. Wish I got them beforehand, would highly suggest others to consider better protection

How are you liking the Gen 2 compared to Gen 1?

On pavement, GEN2 is definitely better with all its creature comforts. But off-roading, my GEN1 did a lot better. Not that happy with how it performed when I was finally pushing it. I thought with the upgraded shocks and upgraded rear, that it was going to perform. Its too floaty and bouncy overall. My GEN1 being heavier was more planted and soaked up the whoops at speed. I tried adjusting the shocks (which the comfort setting ended up being the overall best setting) and changing weight in the bed and still couldn’t get it to feel like my GEN1 handled. By the end of the weekend I was hauling ass on the smooth short course (GEN2 did well there but GEN1 did better there too due to the whoop section that I could take at 70mph, not so in the GEN2) and took several people for rides, all leaving with huge smiles. A couple of cute chicks got in, sat in the back and gave them a ride for them to remember.
Will see if I can post up the video

Video was done by the passenger on his phone, definitely had a difficult time holding it steady. About 50% of the video is of the dash, LOL. This ended up being the very last run of the event as the BBQ dinner was starting in less than hour.

Soldered some wires for my S1 flush lights. Ran wires from upfitters to the back. Also installed leads to the battery for a battery tender.
