Wow. Explain to me the extra this one does over what mine is (which was close to yours)

The biggest benefit is you can really dial in the distributed weight based on your tongue weight, trailer weight, and some other measurements.
This is their old version but it does a good job of explaining the setup and benefits.

You're starting to sound like me with this stuff.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

I already have the 360 cameras but he also did the power folding tow mirrors and has the information on that too.

I skimmed through it. The wiring book was especially interesting. I grabbed an archive of that. :lol:

That's not bad. The skid plate is pretty reasonable.

Yeah it's effectively the same one that comes in the Tremor. The running boards too are basically the tremor/raptor ones. If I actually did off-road or use 4x4 the torsen diff is fun too.

That torsen diff is for the front differential not the rear

Spray-in bed liner and tonneau cover first, followed by power folding towing mirrors, then maybe i'll do this.

So it's a camera that goes on your trailer that gives you a virtual rear view? That's cool.

BTW, when you take your doors apart to do the mirrors, there will be some plastic moisture barriers that are held on with black butyl rubber. If you pull it off slowly, it'll make a gooey mess, like chewing gum. But if you rip them off like a bandaid, it'll stay as one nice strip and come off cleanly. I tried that on mine after watching a YouTube video about the door latches. The plastic is pretty thick. It won't tear.

They still use that black tar stuff that will get stringy?!

Yeah basically allows you to have a "rear view mirror" in the center screen. The kit also allows for integrated trailer tire pressure system and the sensor for the pro trailer backup assist.

Thanks for the tip on the moisture barrier!
