Great idea for the running boards. I've slipped a few times getting out.

Do you have SYNC/Steering Wheel controls or Satelite Radio? With that Kenwood HU were you able to keep any of those?

I second that! Great looking truck! Where did you get the head unit? How much? Does it maintain steering controls!?

Love the roush. every where i go people go people are always complimenting it. They all say it sounds like a beast.

The idatalink maestro let me keep all the steering wheels functions. I don't even have to say bluetooth audio anymore b/c it automatically plays my music when i select "BT on the head unit.

I have been waiting for a system like idatalink to come out so i could keep all the oem features. I have been able to keep all of them.

I bought the head unit and idatalink from crutchfield. they gave me 50% off the idatalink maestro. They also were at my service when i had questions.

Cegan- the bull rings honestly took me 15 minutes to install. And that was taking my time. all you have to do is un clip three of the bottom clips under the bed rail. eyeball where the hole is and use a box cutter to poke a hole. then just trim it along the edges. Have some faith.

For those who are upset with loosing satellite radio with idatalink maestro, why dont you just stream it thru your phone? i hate satellite radio and i hate how they call me 2 to 3 times a day trying to get me to be there customer.

glad yall like my truck

I love the way the roush sounds but I am just worried about one thing, how is it at slow accel and how is the drone?

the drone is loud at 65 to 70 mph. I stay out of that zone while driving. In the morning when you crank it up and its cold outside, holy crap its loud. slowing down its not loud at all.
