What's new

🛠️ What have you done to your F150 Tremor this week?

Found a pair of new-in-box Diode Dynamics SSC2 Sports with red backlights on marketplace for $120. Came with the universal tail/reverse harness but I made my own harness and wired them directly to upfitters. This was a kit for a 4Runner, but the F150 bracket from DD doesn't work on the Tremor anyway, so I improvised. Should be great for the boat on summer nights! Also ran two extra wires to the bumper for future use while I was doing it.

Dropping it off Friday for a Bullet Liner and will install the Lomax cover I have in the garage after that!

Perfect thanks
I have a set of Rigid reverse I’ve had on my last 4 trucks. Awesome mount tip! I usually bolt up where the exhaust tips are
 
Have a link? Can't seem to find it
 
Second oil change finally. First change I used royal purple and it was kind of concerning how dark it came out. The oil is definitely still quite healthy I just was surprise that between the first and second interval there was such a difference. On the first drain it was still golden. Granted that was about half the miles as this. Also while I was doing it I installed a fumoto valve. I’m still cautious about this but I’ve heard nothing but good things about them so I figured I’d take a shot. With the 5.0 and the Raptor skid plate I wanted to convenience myself for the future. This was definitely a mess without removing the skid plate to drain the final time with the factory plug. After this though it should be quite painless, faster even. My hands look like they got in a fist fight with a blender right now lol.
Which Fumoto valve did you go with ?

Changed out my Subs. I was happy with the 8s but friend talk me into going with the JL Audio Stealthbox 12s. He places a big order with them at the end of the year and they extended him a pretty good discount this time around which he extended to me. This and he's a good salesman lol. I didn't believe you could fit two 12" in a box under the rear seat. Well JL Audio did. I guess they have these Subs that are more shallow and thinner. JL 12TW3 Sub.

I think my 5 channel Alpine amp could have pushed them but added a JL Audio RD 1000/1 amp. They were able to mount it next to my other amp behind my rear seat. I chose not to mount the box down with the brackets they came with, so we had to seal the holes. I may have to remove it at times. There is a metal piece in there that will rattle if not, plus you don't really want any air escaping from a Sealed enclosure. I didn't have to cut my thick floor mat in the rear. Box fit perfect with the seats down. They do sound better than the 8s. The lower frequencies sound little cleaner in my opinion. I didn't know what to expect with these 12s due to these being a little different design, but they do put out. I don't play my music loud, so this is probably overkill but am very happy with how it sounds at all volumes.

I installed the Bulletpoint phone/accessory support.
I was kind of on the fence about spending $120.00 on a phone mount but was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box up.
This thing is built. Instructions were great and easy to follow. They also have a great installation vid on Youtube.
They even give you extra screws and bolts in case you lose something.
