Good to hear, Ill have to find a good price on them crutchfield wants $300 plus for one. How does the one in the grille, in terms of being able to see hooking up your western. I love the idea of another one on the plow, Ill have to keep the in mind for mine one day haha. And exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, I appreciate that, I'd love to get Amp steps. Only think I don't like is I'd loss my protection for snow and salt in the underside of my doors that my factory steps protect.

 

The different camera views available make it worth it for me. As for the steps, I like that snow and mud don't build up like they did on the factory steps. We also drive off road so the extra clearance helps too. Good luck whichever way you go.

 

True, that would be helpful parking or putting on the ultra mount. Very true, that can be a pain in the butt with the factory ones.

The main thing I really hated was the MyFord Touch system. Instead of going aftermarket I saved my pennies to get the 4DTech Sync 3 Upgrade with Apple CarPlay. Yes, expensive and Yes, hard to justify but I disliked the old system enough and the upgrade works so well that I’m still glad I did it.

 

Some install pictures. It only took about 45 minutes following their installation video.

 

Kind of a ghetto thing I tried last winter which while ok in theory didn’t really work because I had to plow so far into the grass before being able to turn onto the driveway.

 

Are your ramps about 8-10 ft extended ?

 

They sell both a 9.5 and 11 FT version. I originally got the 9.5' but thought the incline too steep so then went with the 11' which feels much safer to me.

 

Added a NOCO Genius GEN5X2, 2-Bank Charger to maintain the two 65 Group Size AGM Batteries in the engine bay. A NOCO GCP1 Power Inlet Socket was installed in the Fog Light Bezel with a piece of Starboard backing to add some stiffness. Even though the socket is waterproof, I thought this location offered additional protection against the elements.

It’s now much more convenient to plug in without having to open the hood. This replaces the quick connects on each battery that I used with the previous tender.

 

I like how you installed the plug inside the fog light bezel. Looks really clean there and I will have to steal the concept for my battery maintainer project. Since my truck sits a good amount these days, I am going to install a maintainer while I was going to figure out how to supply power from the driver's side to the passager side. The plan was to run an extension cord to the battery side to plug it into the maintainer. I might pick up one of these ports cut the end in 2. Extend internally across the engine bay for the BM to be installed on the fender wall for use.

Very nice set up you got there.

 

Thanks. If you didn't know they make ports in a few different lengths and there's also one with duel plugs. I only used the Driver Side because of where the truck is parked to be closer to the outlet.

And this is the video I used to remove the bezel.


This is the starboard I used.
