Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums - What did you do to the X today?

I thought about getting those and I still might... Just waiting to see if my next mod will be anytime soon first. I may not have a place to put them. :D

That's exactly what I did with my setup.

My wireless works great.

would look good above the plate in that gap under the doors and above the bumper. wouldnt even notice it there i bet, use a couple self taping screws and put it up there.

i let mine rest..think i might do that the rest of the week too. after getting 16mpg with the explorer on this last tank i thought what the hell i'll commute with it for a bit.

I saw a couple of wireless ones on Amazon, but most of them were more expensive and had worse reviews. I think I saw someone on the site who had installed a wireless one though........

I mounted a wireless one. Used the constant +12V and ground from the 7 pin connector for the camera. Used the cigarette lighter power for the monitor. Had to get a 90 degree 1/8" adapter from Radio Shack to mount it by the steering wheel column. It's always on. You do get interference from time to time. I do prefer hard wired, but had this from my mini van. This is great for hitching up the trailer.

Installed 4 BF Goodrich All Terrain 285/75/16 E rated.
Lubricated the body mount under the driver side that was making some pretty strange noise.

Yeah. I love them. What pressure is best though. Not towing. Primarily drives on pavement and some dirt roads at times.
