You can roll your windows up or down using the keyfob lock / unlock buttons. Only having two is perfect, because they only unroll the front windows for the rest of us! lol

Allrighty then....That's going to be next. I've gotten into the habit of saving incremental changes to play it safe.

Very nice work on the seats. And a very busy holiday weekend it looks like. I like the idea of one Forescan mod at a time but have a feeling you may be doing one at a time for a long time until you get through all of them. yeah, I can see how that would be fun.

Beautiful.

I rebuilt and re-covered the seats in my Mustang with non-spring-loaded hog-ring pliers (back in the day). My arms looked like I was mauled by a tiger.

Couple other things I knocked out over the weekend but finished after dark so I couldn't take picture until today.

I wasn't ready to take the jump and make the investment in 2018 BLIS taillights so I settled with some off EBays. These are the same ones johnday has...I didn't install the load resistors, did the Forscan change to avoid fast blinking. Incandescence taillights for the 2018 trucks are different than 15-17 so I order some spare 2018 taillight pigtail harness and modified them. I follow up with a post showing the modified harness. Those damn stickers and chrome bumpers have got to go...Stay tuned!




Also installed a BakFlip Revolver X4.

Haha...Yeah...My day job is a programmer...I could barely type Monday of last week when I did most of the work over the previous weekend.

Yeah...It was busy...But a lot of fun...The mod parts pile is starting to dwindle a bit. I still have everything though I took off...So not by much.

Thanks...The color combination is a little different, but goes okay with the stock interior trim.

I really like that truck! I actually like the chrome bumpers and don't really notice the stickers but it will look cleaner without them. You have any plans to install the OEM fender trim?

I have an 08 4x4 RCSB in dark green so needless to say I am a big fan of this build and have been following along since you posted the rendered pics of your truck.

Thanks...Nice..I would like to see your 08...I like dark green. .....Yep..I have gloss black OEM flair pull-offs to put on it, waiting for better weather. The bumpers will be gloss black too, so I think it should go well together, will have to see.

Here was the rear render I did with green flairs...I have to update it with black ones.

On your single cab truck, the chrome bumpers give it a "retro" feel. I like it
