That happens, yes. You need to buy more wiring and splice it into the existing wiring. Then mount the camera to the bumper in a spot that allows to to see behind the truck. Sometimes these bumpers will come with a little mount you can use. You need to drill into the bumper (there isn’t a set spot - you pick where you want it).
The wiring is. You can still do it, just not plug and play.
The truck should give you a little warning message that it’s time for service. At least at the beginning because I think the factory adds a few for you.
Thanks mine isn’t setup for the first oil change either. I’ll have to add that.
Mine was but I guess there is no consistency with what the dealers do, which makes sense. Enjoy your truck.
blue sea fuse box is an amazing thing to have because it has a quick disconnect switch to all electrical components that go to it and easy diagnose if you pop a fuse. It's a lot cheaper then one of those switch pros and stuff but you do miss out on the neato switches. Ill try and find some pictures later off my build thread or other post ive made but i dont have the time at the moment to find those.
I think this is him on Instagram. It looks like he wrapped it recently but I'm sure more pictures will start showing up.
Can you narrow down where the squeak is coming from
It happens. Could be something as simple as dust/mud in your leaf pack which a good hit with a pressure washer will resolve. Do you have aftermarket suspension or control arms? If so, what kind and are they serviceable? Generally speaking, when I do any real off roading, I always pressure wash my suspension, then lube moving parts.
Cali Raised makes a solid slider
so a long travel is going to ultimately make your truck longer and in some circumstances longer wheelbase. You will be utilizing longer shocks granting more shock travel. For offroading a simple lift with coil overs and a new leaf pack will get the job done. Long travel can also come in various different sizes. you can do a mild set up that is only 2 inches plus and using only a coil. Or you can jump to a wider set up and do a coil with a helper shock and the rear is a completely different story.
since the drl's dim when you turn the headlights on I'm not sure how that would translate with the raptor lights, personally I would feel better running that wire all the way to the fuse box and doing an add a fuse with it where the drl fuse itself is. Though I only kind of know basics on how the electrics work and reading diagrams so I could be wrong and it could work fine
there are diagrams on how to do this with the 2nd gens but personally I haven't seen a 3rd gen writeup it may be the same, mostly for fog lights with drl's and no low beams.
