Great start on the build - so many options out there for aftermarket goodies.

That there are, still researching stuff to do to it. I *think* I have the tires figured out. I have a buddy who powder coated Trail Edition wheels bronze, not sure if he will eventually sell those to me or not.

Finally got the "Raptor" Lights wired up. I did it a little differently and didn't tap the fuse by the Riverside kick panel, I tapped the fuse in the engine compartment.

I tapped the "INJ" fuse which is in between the 7.5 and 10 amp fuses

I then unbolted this bolt and ran the wire through it and re-did the bolt.

I ran the negative wire to the factory negative cable bolt. Now we have lights

Got half of the switchbacks done. When I installed the rear LED turn signals, they didn't hyper-flash so I never installed resistors. Apparently with the front LED's installed I needed to put resistors front and rear. So it took longer than I thought it would, so only got it half done today.

This will be the last mod for awhile. Finally finished up the switchbacks, so now it is off to saving up for tires. Hoping for 255/80 Falken Wildpeaks AT3W

First Blackstone Oil Analysis has been done. The oil used was Amsoil O.E. OW-20 @ 10,995 miles. I did an Amsoil Engine Flush right before this oil change. Here are the results:

The last parts to finish up Phase 1 of the build. I decided to try Rust-oleum Peel Coat in Graphite instead of Plasti-dip. I guess we will see how it compares. LED Headlights and LED DRL/Highs as well.

Got the OBD Fusion app up and running. I did the user installed PID's for the Transmission and Torque Converter.

255/80 Falken WildPeak AT3W's have been installed. Here are some comparison pictures vs stock size. I am running stock suspension and I do rub a little at full lock and going over bumps.

Ended up scoring a free pair of Wheel Spacers. I just need to pick up a second pair and I will be set.
