Initial Thoughts & Reactions:
This truck is an absolute dream. There are a few things that I still question if I should have added to the build but tried to keep overall price down and so far zero regrets. Looked the truck over and pushed all the buttons at the dealer and only issue I found was some adhesive from the protective film between the cab and bed. Dealer quickly cleaned this up. No issues with door alignment or paint either (dealer never questioned me as I walked what seemed like 20 laps around the truck looking for defects). Dealer, Betten Baker Ford of Coopersville for those local, played no games and honored everything we had agreed to including x-plan pricing and trade in. My sales guy even came in on his day off to make sure everything was perfect with the truck. All the workers at the dealer kept asking to take pictures as they loved the truck. The AMB color is even better in person and definitely glad I picked it, hadn't actually seen a super duty in AMB before mine. Can't wait to finish installing accessories and driving it more.

That’s pretty cool, I will have to check that out. Love the look of those stealth aircraft. Soo badass

Agreed. I'm super excited to see the F117 once it's finished. They often do open cockpit days as well that let you see a little more. Only problem is they get crazy busy.

Here’s a documentary I found one night about the f117 and how it was designed. They made it out of wood first soo they could run the electronics and try to make it all work. Very interesting indeed!

What's even more amazing is the maiden flight took place back in 1981. With how sophisticated it still appears today, imagine what's up there now, in 2022.

I always say that I'd love just a single day of all access just to see.
 
No pictures (too dark and nothing exciting to see) but completed my latest mod and used my first upfitter switch.

Added a relay in line with the Constant Vacuum Hublock Solenoid to allow for 2 Lo and quickly turning 4 Hi off for a tighter turn.

I think in the future I'm going to add a resistor on the open pin of the relay so that the truck doesn't notice if I have the relay powered before turning on 4 wheel drive. That can wait though.

@MiTremor906 Refresh my memory on the 4X vacuum strategy - do you need a normally closed relay to do this? Or is vacuum removed for engagement and then you use a normally open relay?

Edit: Ok I searched and found the discussion:

"Hey there Himni, so the Superdutys...will ONLY be in 4x4 when vacuum is applied & then the hubs & drawn in. If there is no vacuum...4x4 cannot be achieved"

So based on this I would think normally closed so you don't have to have your "defeat" relay always powered...

Correct, when no vacuum applied - no 4 wheel drive. I hooked the solenoid up to the normally closed pin so that the switch and solenoid are normally off and only turn aux switch (and relay) on to remove 4 wheel drive by turning off the solenoid.

Seems weird to turn something on to turn something off but it's the best strategy.

The color is a PITA to keep clean but still love the color and truck. This thing is awesome. Hope you get yours soon, the closer it gets the harder the wait is.

Is there a reason you went with the Built Right mount rather than the Bulletpoint? I'm making a list of all my to-dos once my Tremor arrives, and this is one of them. I was so close to order the antimatter, but went with my go-to color (or non-color), black.

Personal preference mostly. It seemed like the Built Right had more mounting adjustment for the arm base. Also looks like the Bulletpoint comes with 2 ball mounts and don't need a second one normally so less "mess" on the dash.

Ultimately, I ended up with their phone holder, arm, magnetic mount and go pro mount.
