As Lunch pointed out the day i always notice irrelevant to the post items😀 Curious which light pattern you went with DD SS3 pods for the ditch lights?

This is a good question, I believe it is the #3 combo. I will tell you that I don't have any original yellow stickers on my truck though.

Are you talking about the mirror spot lights or the two mirror caps when you say Boost Auto smoked tow mirrors?

Sorry for the confusion, I am talking about the spot lights. The gloss mirror caps came with the BAP.

Interesting. Flood is the only one i ruled out looking at the options thinking that it will throw lots of light/reflection onto the hood itself, unless maybe it is pointed far out into the ditch.

I was thinking that perhaps their SAE Fog might be perfect if one wants to shine strictly onto the ditch near by or the driving if into the ditch further ahead. I already have SS3 SAE Fog Max pods in the fog location and am very impressed by the intensity and the spread, even they, to my surprise, reach far enough into the ditch while pointed straight forward.

I truly don't remember which one I have, I will go through my emails and see if I can verify it. I am sure the SAE Fog will be amazing if you decide to go that route

I should mention, they make it very easy and relatively inexpensive to swap lenses, so none of these have to be permanent choices. I recently got 6 max driving pods for the front bar knowing well that at anytime i can switch them to spot or fog down the road.

Yes sir, I did verify that I have the combo and they have been great for me for driving around on the open property and dark country roads. Of course I really don't know any different but as as you mentioned, swapping the lens out is very easy.
 
Cool mods! I was playing around on boost’s website last night and saw they have a bunch of pattern options, colors and optional spot lights. Which combo did you choose?

I watched their video taking the mirrors apart. Did you have any issues?

The "did you have issues" question would be best directed to @Optimus 😁

So I am pretty basic man, I just went OEM amber with the turn signal. I did not do any switchback or startup sequence. This is @Optimus vid he sent me showing his startup.

I did not have any issues with mirror removal but did dedicate extra time to taking them apart. Don't rush through it and don't take any calls from @Lunch Box 🥩🍔 while you are working!

Been meaning to catch up the thread as I am trying to get the rig ready for the April meet-up. Here are a few pics of the projects over the last month.
Rek Gen mudflaps installed, Tufskinz gloss black running board decals, and decided to black out my Armored Ridgeback hitch lights.

SPE CCV delete with external catch can. Ended up cutting the intake side of the ccv filter itself off so I could attach the block off rubber cap with a zip tie.

Lastly had the S&S Disaster Prevention Kit, Fleece secondary upper fuel filter, and the Pusher intake manifold installed today. Could not be happier! During the install, I was talking to the shop owner and I asked him about the success rate of the S&S DPK. He said that he has seen many CP4 failures over the years but 100% of the CP4 failures with the DPK in placed saved the engine. This was music to my ears.

What shop did you use there on the East Coast of Texas?

Which catch can is that and does it come with the frame mounted bracket? Did you have to drill hole for the bracket?

That is the SPE External Catch can, not entirely sure it is needed but decided to give it a try. Yes it does come with the frame mounted bracket and I did have to drill one small hole in the hitch for this location. There are several other locations that don't require drilling, I was just trying to hide it and make it as remote as possible.

How do you like the pusher intake? I heard it really changes the sound. I’m debating on the pusher or the spe kit. Spe claims 30 rwhp just by adding the intake, I’m guessing the pusher intake will add some also.

SPE makes great parts, I’ve heard that catch can is very good. You’ll be happy.

I've had the Pusher since '23, absolutely love it. I'll let @Rodd187 give you his details
