I reused the original bolts. however I did have to source the washers and locknuts to go on the back of those bolts. not sure where I sourced them, but it's easy enough to take one of them bolts to a hardware store and pick up a set of locknuts and washers to fit them bolts.

OK.. I doubt this group-buy will ever get enough traction.. so here's the best deal I found on essentially the same compressor as shown in this video: The Maxi Trac Compressor is Discontinued.... Here's An Amazon Alternative - Tozalazz right now there's a -$15 coupon on Amazon for the Tozalazz...

I got the factory SIBL.. I forget what exactly pushed me to decide on the back wall instead of the sidewall.. I think the cubby wouldn't fit the opening with the outlet pre-mounted to the sidewall.. the location and orientation I picked is the most functional way to do it.. if you flip the...

I oriented the plug the way I did cuz I figured it'll be better to pull the AC outlet spring door with my fingertips when I'm standing at the back of the truck.. cuz the other way around opening that spring door is not so natural for the hand and the spring door is then on your knuckles as you...

that last pic of the wires on my op was taken crawling around under the muffler same as you ended up doing.. ;) I think the harness is too short to plug it in before the cubby is in the hole.. there may not be any way around having to get under to plug it in.. I noticed you did the AC outlet...

that gizmo is where the bed extender gets anchored.. the three holes are already pre-drilled to match common generic bed extenders you can buy on Amazon like what I got there..

the cubby was just the cubby you see in the op pics -- just the plastic box with the interior divider and cover.. I haven't looked to see how gunked up the taillight might be after some driving, but the cubby box does sit right in the way between the rear wheel and the taillight, so I imagine...

thx.. I'm on the bEast coast in Dirtee Jerzee.. I'll ping you if I'm ever out in Vegas.. the mod is really not that hard to do if you don't rush any of it.. I'm real happy with the mod now that I've lived with it for a while.. truth be told I have never used the AC inverter outlet, I probably...

yah.. there might be some plastic tab that's slightly different, but the plugs fit and the lights work and that's good 'nuff for gov'ment work..

no, the og LED bed light is out of the picture.. I just reused the connector.. if you wanna retain the og bed light you'd need to hack together a passthrough with a splitter between the og harness plug and the OEM led bed light, then add a barrel connector or whatever you need to the splitter...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/185439327445 I ordered a this ☝ pigtail and soldered a DC5525 barrel connector to it and plugged that into the plug where the OEM led light used to be. the DC5525 barrel connector then plugs into the after-market LED controller box.. I bought a 10 pack of those DC5525...

the trick was to drill corner holes in the cubby using the template, then using a metal ruler lined up on the holes I cut into the plastic and just kept cutting and cutting into the grove till I cut all the way through.. the hole for the light switch was cut the same way except I didn't need to...

thx for liking my DIY hack.. :) that's the factory Ford light switch that came with my Lariat, I simply relocated the switch using the og plug and wiring.. no wire hacking needed.. that switch was installed in the same side panel that I replaced with the bed cubby.. not sure what the part number...

we got one in on the group buy.. nine more to go 🤘

Hello everyone, Organizing a group buy for the mighty MORRFlate TenSix™ Portable 12v Off Road Air Compressor. The MORRFlate TenSix™ Air Compressor is the currently obtainable variant of the two cylinder 300LPM 10.6CFM type of compressor made famous on YouTube when the unobtainium NAPA Maxi Trac...

correct -- the factory bed light is redundant with bed rail lights installed on both sides of the bed. I did not mind sacrificing the factory light to gain the bed cubby and even better lighting from the LED lightstrips.

the gain is I get a driver's side bed cubby in addition to the one on the passenger side -- that was my objective with this mod. ;) the AC outlet transplant into the cubby came out looking like it was meant to be that way from the factory -- I was gonna abandon this mod if I couldn't make it...

inspired by this video, I ordered a Ford NZ6Z-60286A72-A Compartment along with a pair of extra bolts W505424-S450B. since my Lariat Lux came with the factory 120V AC outlet and LED light, I transplanted the AC outlet to inside the cubby and moved the bed lighting on/off switch to the DIY...

saw a Motion Unlock For SYNC 3 & SYNC 4 Equipped Ford Vehicles harness on eBay which "unlocks" things that are blocked when the truck is moving.. e.g. entering a Nav destination while driving.. I have a strong hunch that adding this cable harness to a jailbroken SYNC3 would allow the reverse...

took a ride in my truck with the Reverse Cam FMod turned on -- camera stops showing image at 10mph or so and after a bit a warning pops up that the camera is unavailable and to contact the dealer.. when I come to a full stop that warning disappears and the camera starts showing again.. putting...
