To help get out of tight situations I installed a back up camera into the tailgate handle, which is viewed on a rear view mirror with LCD screen that I installed; all with the push of a button:









The other switch is for a front facing camera to be installed shortly

Compared to stock, fantastic. They hit hard enough for me and I don't find myself fussing with the bass and treble like I did with stock speakers in. The sound is cleaner and I can't say for certain as I only had the stock speakers for a couple of days, but I don't seem to have to turn the volume up as far for it to be loud.

I replaced my front bumper guards with those from an Ecoboost so I can still have a front plate and install a light bar (eventually.)

I purchased a set of grab handles that another forum member makes; Bruinsa22

They not only help rear passengers, but my better half can pull it through to help get in the front passenger seat as well.

I got my wheel liners installed:



I saved a few bucks and ordered some unknown name brand; $66 well spent.

Once again glad you like the handles. That's a good idea to flip them around to help get in the front seat!
