Man thatās it! Iāve been teeter tottering on canopy brands for months now. I had an A.R.E. on my previous F-150 and loved it. Been seriously considering them again for my RR, but thought something else might be the ticket and thought a change was in orderā¦..
Seeing the A.R.E. on yours THATās IT...
DS with your F-150 led kit in the grill. Me personally I really like the white on white look!
Super easy install and given me zero issues in over 9 months.
Just used your link last night to pull the center console to get behind the charging pad to run/hide a radar detector power cord. Thanks to your posting itās now 100% hidden and not a thing was broken! Thanks - this is being kept!
Damn! KILLER setup!
Youāre a step or 2 beyond what Iāve done. Likewise I 2 layered SDād all 4 doors and the roof (not as bad as one would think it is), but WHAT a huge gain. Focalās in the doors, but just the basic plug & play Inside sets for the Fords and swapped the CC for an Infinity 2-way...
Yep, thatās the one! I never actually use it as a pack out. Just got the pack out version because it has more power/suction than the regular smooth bottom M-18. Then get yourself the Milwaukee automotive Air-Tip kit (extended long reach crevice tool, fabric tool, etc.) and that mid-size vac. is...
Milwaukee M-18 pack out vacuum is an absolute banger and works like a charm!
Little big, but the hose is long enough that the vacuum itself never comes into the interior. It simply rests on the running boards and the hose easily reaches everywhere from each door. Itās the Champ! Powerful as hell...
It has to do with the rail caps. The ā24 & ā25ās caps are thicker. Ford thinned the bed rail caps down on the ā26 model. Thatās all Iāve known the difference to be, which would totally affect mounting.
Yeah just did it myself. Standard SAE set of allen keys and a 1/4ā drive 7/16ā deep socket. Took all of 5 minutes each side. I put a dab of blue thread locker on the boltsā¦.just because. It comes with ny-lock nuts but figured a little extra wouldnāt hurt.
Havenāt really seen anybody talk about these or the problem they address, but I just installed a set of these in preparation of an A.R.E. canopy thatās on order. We all know of the flimsy and thin scenario that Ford had left us with under the factory bed rail caps and the near 1ā void thatās...
Look at from the point of anti-backout. Those tabs donāt allow the bolts to loosen and back off on their own due to vibration & harshness. Theyāre installed correctly.
Yes! Iāve done both from CVF Fab. Their stage 1 intercooler and charge pipe kit. Both great products and were very easy to install. Did it all in an afternoon with basic hand tools and the front of the truck up on ramps (just for extra room to work from underneath when needed).
Had to...
Thereās also the UPR unit along with the Ronin. Just another option. Basically the same thing just a mildly different style. The UPR has given me zero issues. Worth every dime i.m.h.o.
Pabst Blue Ribbon - Union Made!
ā¦ā¦ā¦..or at least it is/was while produced in Milwaukee. Just recently read some cans saying produced in St. Louisā¦ā¦please donāt tell me A.B. took over PBR from the Miller umbrella. No Dammit! Then it might become a scab beer. Same damn thing happened to Rainier &...
Holy crap! This is EXACTLY what I need! Iāve got a 90lb. Doberman that gets awfully pushy onto the center console after a long period of time cruising. Dobie paws are huge along with that chest & head and to say the sucker is strong is an understatement. Not always the safest to be tug-a-waring...
HF Daytona 3 ton Long Reach. Works like a champ! Zero strain.
Honestly my favorite way to work uunder the truck is to completely drive it up on 4 x 12 ton ramps. Gets the entire truck 6 1/2ā higher and level. Makes crawling around underneath it a breeze. I just use the jack & stands to work on...
Hereās how I mounted mine. I stand corrected from earlier, I used 3/8ā x 2ā TEK screws & 3/4ā ss fenders not 5/16ā. Nothing through to the exterior. It stays put and doesnāt rattle or reverberate under heavy bass.
You can only drill along the front and left side. Thatās the only place where the flange exists with tub void underneath. Towards the back and youāre drilling through the truck. Iāll post pic later once Iām home.
