By auto fold mirrors do you mean have them fold automatically when you lock your truck?

By auto fold mirrors do you mean have them fold automatically when you lock your truck?

Idk what it is. Have seen people do it with engine shut off, or locking the doors I believe.

Yeah I gotcha. FWIW, if that’s what you’re looking for you won’t need a FORSCAN. It’s an easy option on the 22s. My 22 has the mirrors auto fold in whenever I lock the truck and they auto unfold when I unlock. Small tidbit but figured I would share.

 

[BroncOh]

I'm not sure if the Anderson 350 amp plug is enough for jump starting the diesel. Not even sure if I can find a clean, flush mount version of this plug. I don't really want a cord dangling or tucked in somewhere.

Any help is appreciated.

My OCD was torn with whether to go with matte black, or gloss black TVD vinyl letters for the tailgate. Most of the plastic back there is matte finish, but the truck paintwork is glossy clearcoat.

Still not sure if I made right decision going with gloss black.

I'm thinking the same - however - I have CDO vs OCD. So my decision requires quite bit more thought...

Awesome! Does it work with both the remote fob and BOTH of the driver and front passenger door lock buttons, or just the driver side?

I think it'd look good either way. Grille and fender vent are gloss black and are on the same level as the tailgate decal. Your tufskinz are probably gloss black too. Imo there isn't enough matte black on the truck to use as an accent but it would not look bad matte either.

My thoughts too on gloss everything. I went with the Tufskinz for the indented areas since I knew there would be no way I could pull off laying in vinyl letters perfectly, especially the glove box. Going to do the Windex wet method on the tailgate.

Should I paint the exhaust tip matte black instead of gloss black? The soot is going to make it matte looking anyways?

Matte black to compliment the matte black steps imo since they are on the same level. Yeah you made a good call on the tufskinz. I just ordered the sill protectors but damn those tufskinz are pricey

I found the V1-cut sill protectors as I was checking out with the Tufskinz sill protectors. Did some research and he uses black diamond grip tape which doubles as another good step point with grip for the clumsy short ladie(s).

I got them because my wife is also of the clumsy short variety same with the huskies so she keeps her shoes on the floor mats instead of the carpet and everywhere else has room to stretch her legs.

All of the above. Anytime the vehicle locks the mirrors fold in. And anytime it unlocks the mirrors fold out. Regardless of what method you use to lock or unlock it. Haven’t tried breaking the window yet for the unlock though. I’ll leave that one to you. They may still fold out then though.

Now I’m picturing the mirrors folding in and out repeatedly along with honking and flashing lights as part of the alarm system.

 

[BroncOh]

Anyone know of any extreme high current, flush mount connectors I could use for jump starting?

The Anderson forklift battery connectors are 350 amp I think, but probably won't work.

 

[ccw]

Great looking build! Definitely following!

And sure enough after reviewing your mod list, I'll be promoting some of my mods out of the backlog:

• Black vinyl wrap tailgate handle.
• Black tailgate letters.
• Noco block heater inlet.

Also made me realize I need to think through Forscan more completely. I've been de-prioritizing it in my mind, but should be considering what I want to do. Definitely taking from you:

• Police mode
• Minimum tire pressure
