OK so I should be hearing from my friend who does the laser work on how much the new V5 aluminum will cost. Once I hear that I plan to offer a few different kits in a transition period:
  • Upgrade kit - includes 2 of each: V5 metal, zip ties, replacement 3D exhausts
  • Metal only kit (for those with recent kits and good 3D parts) - includes 2 of each: V5 metal, zip ties
  • NEW V5 kits (all new kit just like V4 with addition of the longer metal to support tubing better
I expect to have parts in within two weeks. For those that just ordered please send me a message and I will work out the details that way. The new metal will cost more as it is larger so there will be a small price increase coming just FYI. I will be shipping the upgrade and metals kits in padded envelopes to hopefully save shipping cost and pass on to you.

OH and would you guys like to see some self-adhesive foam tape included in the kit to protect the leather from the screws? or would you buy that yourself to save me the hassle?

These are laser cut parts and not machined unfortunately.

Tim, I bought the most recent previous version from you some months ago when on sale but never got around to installing it. What parts do I need? I don't have time to do this immediately. If waiting would result in your being able to assemble an appropriate kit, that's not a problem.

If the 3D parts are defective, how can I recognize that before installing them?

2019 Lariat with seat cooling at max i cant even feel it. Is it supposed to pump A/C or just blow air from inside the car ? Sometimes if i lift my back off the back i can feel some col air on my lower back but once i sit back down nothing. If i'm wearing jeans, cant feel a thing.

You don’t have seat cooling,, just cabin air being sucked into the seat,,,as long as you are not sitting in it.

Just updated the website. The parts are on order for the new metal brackets and should be to me within a week. I am still catching up on some other orders and will go from there. If you have any questions please let me know.

Per request I have included a few options on the new page. It has Full Kit, Exhaust only, and Upgrade to V5.

Trying to get lead time down as we are looking to move houses and get out of a rough situation.. Lets just say dont bother being in city politics....

Do the 2019s still have this problem? I swear when I purchased the truck I was amazed how cooled the seat got. Week later it feels like my rear seat back is heated (its 95 degrees out BTW)

What is the TSB, as I'm not purchasing a kit for a 2019 platinum that should work correctly.
