Yeah, it’s a big job no doubt. Takes me well over an hour just to wash it. Then for the coating I split it over two days and I still need to do the tonneau cover.
Over the weekend I recoated the truck with Adam’s spray Graphene. The whole thing still has the real deal expensive Adam’s Graphene on it, but it needed a little freshening up in places. Really did wonders on the plastics.
20% nano-ceramic. If I went any darker I’d be driving by feel at night. My vision in the dark is awful.
Bed graphics are just some eBay units in the OEM size. I wasn’t gonna spend OEM money because I’m ceramic coated and I didn’t know if they would even stay put. Thankfully after a clay bar...
Got the front doors tinted today, did the bedside decals (myself) on Monday and the black beadlocks a few weeks ago. Think I’m pretty happy with the look now and I should probably just leave it alone. I won’t, but I should.
Picked up some cheap tow hook covers. I’m mainly seeing if I like the pop of color before taking them off and painting. I think if the red was a touch darker to match the hood emblem I’d be in.
Started measuring and mocking up my new exhaust. Wanted to make sure I have what I need before I bust the Sawzall out while my wife is at work Monday. I don’t really want to explain this to her. 😂
I will have to cut back a few inches somewhere since these Magnaflows are 3” longer. I’ll start...
No settings, it’s doing its thing whenever the engine is on. There’s 4 mics in the headliner that “listen” for noise. The amp also gets an RPM signal from the PCM to further refine it.
It still does. Mine was formerly Alpine and it did. But you got louder mufflers and stuff anyway so it’s probably not effective even if it worked at all.
Since the swap it wasn’t working with the 2021-2022 amp, different calibration. It didn’t seem to immediately work with the 2023 amp either but I cleared the codes and did a bunch of key cycles and it works again. I guess unfortunately the 2023 amp is gonna be another thing on the list for...
Installed canbus immobilizer and got my ANC working (not sure even what I did lol). Still doing the Magnaflows but with QTP cutouts in front of them. Best of both worlds.
