Beautiful truck! How much does it weigh? I believe maxx traxx warranty only covers vehicles up to 7000lbs maybe 7.5. You might want to double check. Action traxx I believe is the only recovery board spec’d to work for heavier trucks

Thanks buddy, those actually are really just for the lease trucks and sideXsides. I don't keep them in the truck all the time. I just put them in for the pic. Ha!

Please explain the function of the door jam grip? I know what it implies but why is it needed? Where did you get the key fob cover? Thanks my fellow Texan!

There really isn’t much function, they are cheap and easy to install. I sometimes use them to close the door with fingertips. Keeps oil and fingerprints off the door if door is clean. If door is dirty, keeps you from scratching up door.

The covers came from Etsy via Vietnam I think. I am not at home but can find link later if you need it.

You bet my friend

Found them all, thanks! If you drive a lot give the S&B 60 gallon tank a look. 1000+ mile range

Perfect! I really don’t drive this truck that much, usually only fill it up once a month or so not sure it makes sense for me but always love suggestions. Thanks man

Lol, I was a factory sales rep for MasterCraft Boats for many years. I have also owned Nautiques. I at one time was involved with the WWA, World Wakeboard association.

Oh yeah…. One of the best upgrades you can make. Takes the throttle lag out of the equation

Added the Banks Pedal Monster and iDash this morning. Thanks @6seven and @Lunch Box for the recommendations! You both were dead on, does make the truck feel completely different. Thank you!

I tucked the Pedal Monster up behind the panel on the side to "hide" it from the dealer so I can simply uncouple the connector on the throttle and return it to "stock" without having to remove it each time for service.

I am in a holding pattern as I ordered a direct vent replacement from ortizcustompods.com after seeing Vecman's mount on his build. Thanks for the idea @Vecman. Here are a few pics of the panel and vent after removal for clip locations
