Thanks!

Cool. Assuming I see my cabin lights go dead, would I want to disable the high voltage system as well or should it be safe to leave that enabled so long as I'm nowhere near the engine bay?

This would be my first Hybrid I'm going to modify. Does anyone know if (1) it is safe to disconnect the 12V battery, potentially for several days? (2) is there any safety precautions to disable the "normal" electrical system to the cabin and the bed beyond disconnecting the 12V and letting it...

So I was going through this thread (which deserves a bump) If you didn't have the LED installed from the factory, the options seem to be: 1) run the LEDs off the pigtails in the bed (Ford's video on adding LEDs follows this method). Just needs a switch to control it from the bed and a set of...

So I just had a hitch added to my tailgate, which means I now have a spare hitch-less crash/fender bar. Any ideas what to do with it? Also, for some reason I now have a squeaking sound coming from the passenger rear when driving at low speeds. It might be from the cold or it might be the...

Put up window stickers. Touchup paint, seal off gaps in undercarriage. Clean the vehicle, print off some FITS mounts to organize things in the back. Put something fun in the infotainment storage cubby--probably by 3d printing a mount of some sort. Bed lighting underneath the tonneau, ideally...

Video from the OP is now private. Does anyone have a link to it that's still up or a transcript or something?

Do you know which part of the front? I do know there's a design challenge with the bed where there's nowhere for water to flow from the top of the cab except the bed. There's also a gap in the plastic around the bed top where water is going to want to get in. This is more a feature of the truck...

That was the sane idea. The less sane idea was to try and emulate the overlanders with their racks and side-mounted boxes. The idea would be to take waterproof cases of about the same depth as the sidewalls of the bed and length about equal to the length of the bed and then build up a rail...

Yep. But here's a rough price/parts list if anyone ever decides to try. I haven't shopped for the best price, but it might give someone an idea. If you do try to build it, redo my measurements as I'm just estimating right now and never actually went in with the tape measure. 80/20 Aluminum...

Yeah, that's the story I'm getting. I'd still like to figure out what's the closest I can get. I assume I'm probably going to try and waterproof the tailgate as well.

I was debating if I built one I'd be trying to attach rails on the C-channel tie down rail holes. They come pre-threaded from the factory and if you lack the factory tie down rails it seemed like a natural spot to kill two birds with one stone. Plus, it seemed like it would be less likely than...

Oh. Neat. Is the light battery powered or does it plug into something?

I've not been super impressed with what I've seen of the Diamondback. It looks like it would take more of a beating than the truck, but it doesn't get out of the way when I would want to use the whole bed and generally seems like overkill for unclear benefits. This is good to hear about. I was...

What's the most waterproof hard locking/sealing tonneau if money isn't an object? I've got a good bit of money left for accessories and this is probably the most important for my use case. I'm looking at using my bed like a trunk with things stored in there basically full time and am willing to...
