solid build man, just killed a solid hour at work, thanks! Let me know if you're ever up in northern NH
Thanks man, and I'm actually headed up to Lake Winnipesaukee or Sebago Lake in Maine in early August for a weekend, whats your opinion of either if you've been? Not exactly far north but further than I usually go for weekend trips.
Here are a couple more photos of the new wheel setup. I have to re-vinyl my pillars when I get a chance, the dark tint and gloss black pillars are a great combo.
Quick update, I finally got a chance to wire in my rock lights. I finally have a use for the switch that hasn't been hooked up to anything for a year and a half!
Everything is wire loomed and heat shrunk and wired by yours truly. If I have one piece of advice, its buy a nice set with a darn harness. This was a PITA but I wanted the harness to look professional and end up perfect. I used an existing hole in the fiber wheel well up front to run the wires through on each side, and just drilled one hole each to secure them. I used 3M permanent mounting tape for the rear, and these things are not coming off.
I still have to get some output shots of them because I keep forgetting, but these things are seriously bright. For $20 on Amazon you can't go wrong, if you're handy with wiring and don't mind spending the time to do it all.
I was also having an issue with water intrusion into the wiring harness channel behind the passenger side kick plate. I noticed that all the clips had rotted away and the piece was no longer holding the grommets flush to the cab, allowing water in. I'm not sure who at Ford thought it would be a good ideal to use cheap plated steel as clips for a piece of plastic that LITERALLY SEALS SIX HOLES THEY CUT IN THE CAB to accommodate this sill piece, but they need to be fired.
Old New New vs Old This is literally a hole in the cab sealed by this plastic sill plate... There has to be a better way.
I haven't had a chance to see if this fixed the problem yet as we haven't had any rain, but I will report when I get a chance.
If you have problems with water intrusion in the sills, check these clips, the 3rd brake light, the A/C condenser drain, and your sat radio connection on the roof.
