What did you do to your Tremor today?

Ordered my Diamondback SE yesterday on the assumption that my truck really is en route. Diamondback's lead time is now 5 weeks! Are they suffering from a chip shortage too?
 
Since they are arriving at dealerships, someone will be bringing one home soon. Tell us about your modifications, upgrades, repairs and customizations!

Installed new Diamondback HD bed cover with headache rack. Love the black diamond design. Adds to the heavy duty look of the truck. Sorry about the bus. That's the wife's ride.

I really really like it. I’m glad I finally pulled the trigger and got it. Installation is very easy as well.
I received mine Monday morning. Had to install it right away. Have a look.

Mounted the NoCo socket on the drivers side, routing the cable into the bed via the pass-thru. This is going to keep the solar generator topped up if we're camping with a 120v supply and provide 120v to the kitchen that won't drain the camping batteries...

....it's easy to reach but well tucked up there...

I just installed the Fox ATS 2.0 steering stabilizer. It wasn't what I was expecting. I was thinking the steering would be stiff and numb. It was actually pretty loose. Even the Focus steering felt stiffer. The numbness was definitely there, though. The adjustment screw basically sets the numbness level. I set it 5 clicks below full numb nut. I'll drive it around some this weekend to take it through its paces. I can tell you this much, though. At full mind numbing level, there was no road feedback through the steering wheel driving around my neighborhood.

PS. I forgot to mention that the old stabilizer isn't fun to get out. I'm glad I happen to have a ball joint puller in the garage.
Now that it has been a few weeks, are you happy with it? I’ve been looking at the ATS pretty hard.

To be honest, the original Hitachi stabilizer that came from the factory works very well in my opinion. I never really got bump steering even with 37s on it. There were some uneasy vibrations, though, especially on unpaved roads. That being said, the Fox ATS 2.0 does an even better job of absorbing the bumps and vibrations. As it does so, the steering wheel doesn't feel any stiffer. It still takes no effort to turn the wheel by hand.

Just the other day, I was driving on a really rough patch of road. And I mean rough. The plushie dog I have hanging on the windshield launched off. Everything was vibrating and shaking like crazy except the steering wheel. If the steering wheel could talk, it would say, "What? Is there something wrong?" I had no death grip on the wheel, and the truck kept tracking straight. It definitely did its job.

To answer your question, I'm overall happy with it. Even though it solves a problem I never had on paved roads, I feel more confidence with it. Where it really shines is on unpaved surfaces.

Thanks! That info is helpful. There are so many things I want to do, but can’t do them all. So I got to be picky.
 
Well nothing crazy here other then I finally got to drive mine and hit 800 miles!! Which meant it left the garage, so it needed a wash and a polish again!! LOL

Did about a four hundred mile round trip yesterday as wanted to get some miles on. Every 100 miles I was pulling into a town for something, so I had some in town driving and highway with the cruise set at 80. Ended up making 12.7 mpg.

I really liked my 2016 Platinum but damn I love this Tremor!!!

I adjusted my E2 weight distribution hitch setup today and put a damn knick in the tailgate when I bumped it with a wrench. ??
