Added a back up camera. I have a front camera to add to it as well because it has dual input but ran out of time. Took longer than I was expecting as I was taking out the old one and we really were trying to make it look nice. I’m very happy how it turned out and to add the front really should only take an hour. The rear is a nice camera in the handle bezel so it looks about as factory as it could.

I like the integrated video design for the mirror. That come with the kit?

Yep. All as a kit. Can’t even see the monitor when it’s off either. So far I like it. Not huge but I just want it to back up to hook up a trailer or not hit something.

I do wonder if I can get another camera like the front and make basically one to go all the way to the end of the trailer.

Made a behind the seat storage. Made it so jugs could sit in it and not tip over. Will hold the ratchet straps and anything else in that was in the tool box.

Front camera

Nice. Is it all metal, or fabric? Sorry hard time telling.

Looks sturdy. Id say thats a good buy.

I keep looking at the banks rear diff cover and the banks transmission pan. Way overkill. But they both are trusted, tested, and work.

Why do I do this stuff to myself?

Nobody here is going to give you the justification you're looking for.

[vr4]

i dont see a point in either one in your use case.

Do it while you do your...lockers!

The locker was actually talked about to the guy here at work who builds rear ends.

At what level do you think it’s beneficial? Honestly? If someone used it as a mowing truck and it was pulling enclosed trailers 5 days a week? Or would it even have to be more 12k loads over mountain passes.

You need to be towing somewhat heavy regularly. The main advantage they really offer is easier fluid changes.

Coop

Both of those would be acceptable cases, are you doing either one regularly?

Honestly, you're going to get them anyway. Everyone saying you don't need something, means there is a 99.99999999999% chance you're actually going to get it.

[DCIV]

Haha. I love that Aaron knows! But this time, I would rather have the locker. The e locker I want is 1200 bucks. I will prob do the rear cover when I do that. But the trans pan will prob have to wait till next year.

I don’t do any of it regularly. But when the truck moves, it’s 85% towing. Not like I daily that long bitch. Just not a lot of miles a year.

[DCIV]

Ohhhh. I will watch that later. I found a locker that is a limited slip but I can also lock it. It’s 1500 bucks. I will prob do it after summer.

Used the truck today for truck stuff.

[DCIV]

Wow. That was totally worth the watch. I don’t want air just because I don’t wanna have to worry about compressor or anything odd. But I never thought about all the issues. Crazy.
