Rodd187 Build Thread

On my short list of to do upgrades( or in this projects case get back the standard-equipment-grade) I am planning to do my cup holder ambient lighting and currently have F150LED "pucks" in there to tide me over and like the "Tremor" badging it adds. Where did you get these inserts? I read over your build again and may have missed it but I didnt see where they were from.

Of course man, I got the "pucks" from Etsy and I got the wiring harness from @JHForman812 who custom makes them. You also have to order these two parts if you don't already have the illuminated cupholders but do have ambient lighting.

Wife was sick on the couch and kids were at school so finally got around to installing my Banks Rear Differential Cover and Banks Monster Exhaust from the group buy. Super smooth install on the diff cover, very straightforward.

The Monster exhaust also went fine but I did discover that the Talon DPF cover does not fit around the 5" pipe. I had to modify/cut the rear of the Talon guard so the pipe could pass through. This caused me to have to repaint the guard and also decided to paint the last pipe and clamp since I had the primer and paint out. For those of you with the short bed, you also have to cut the intermediate 5" pipe down to a specified length. Not hard at all especially if you use a vice and band saw.

I will post pics of the exhaust when I get a second coat on the pipe and install the exhaust on the truck.

Man you have all the "MacDaddy" tools!!! Nice!
 
No issues at all, just ran black cable to negative post and red cable to positive post. I also wrapped the wire in convolute to give it some additional protection. (they are the two wires with the red arrows in the pic below). I did have to remove my Banks air filter to get access to the wires. Voltage on both batteries and remote posts all are identical with truck off and when it is running.

Did you fuse the positive wire for the jumper?
 
Actually I did not but probably should. Not a bad idea, what size fuse are you thinking?
I guess it depends if you would ever use the remote terminals to jump the truck or just for trickle charging or trying to get enough power to unlock the doors.

True, it is only used for trickle charging or a jump box attached to power up the batteries to gain entrance to the truck. It will never be used as a jump location.
