Out with the GMRS radio, in with the ham radio (Yaesu FTM-500). I still need to clean up the wiring but I started losing the light and that was enough for today.
Do you have a write-up or a video on how to do this? I am installing a Yaesu (FTM-500) ham radio in the glove box and have the control box on an improvised mount above the driver's sun visor. Where I'm stuck is how to route the control cable. Getting above/around the winshield is easy but...
I'm pretty sure it is not something I did, I think Ford might have done it after the last OTA software update. When I remote start, then get in and press the start button, the rear defroster, driver seat, and steering wheel heaters now turn themselves on.
It's not a bug, it's a feature...
Finished installing the Hooke overhead MOLLE panels.
You do not have to take the roof panels off to install these, it is MUCH easier to install if you do remove them.
OK, this is weird. Yesterday I pushed and pressed the mirror mount as much as I could in every direction. Thinking I was missing something, I had another guy try his hand at moving the mirror mount. He also had no success.
That's it, forget it for tonight and give it another whirl tomorrow...
I received my @Suma Performance mirrors today and followed their video example of how to remove the factory mirror. Now that mirror is jammed in the UP position and won't move in any direction. Any suggestions on where I may have gone wong?
Here is where I am stuck right now:
I hadn't had a vehicle without leather seats and carpet in 30 years so I was pretty nervous about going with the MGV seats and rubber flooring. After 10 months of having my Badlands I'm liking it 100% with zero regrets.
A couple of spills cleaned up in a flash with no staining and dirt and...
I asked my No-ADM dealer what would have happened if I had received a golden ticket to upgrade my BadSquatch reservation to a BRaptor. I was told there was no-way, no-how they would sell it to me at sticker, it MUST be marked up at least $25k.
OK, let's do some math...
Optioning a BRaptor the...
Yes, I did. They work perfectly together, AR really did a great job on these devices. I was really hesitant to go with the Burnt Titanium color but loved it once I opened the package.
Not to speak for Olds120, but I have the same AR rail and can say the install is not at all difficult.
You need to remove and reuse the factory torx bolts, but it's hard to see where they are. I used my phone to take a picture of the recessed area to see where they were located and then used...
Today was GMRS radio mic and holder day.
This morning I recieved the new Midland MXMC01 niose-cancelling mic and RAM mounting parts. I went from having a Frankenclaw mount that I cobbled together:
To having a cleaner and a little more stable setup*:
* - The zip-tie you may see near the...
Hey, that reboot trick is pretty cool, thanks! Too bad for me it didn't work.
Pulled the negative battery terminal for about 30 minutes. No joy there either.
It's not a bug, it's a feature!! Yeah... I hate that ancient saying also.
