SuperBrightLEDs has some canbus ones I think should work fine although they are sold out of dome light bulbs
Just the standard long life replacements.

Got the lighting issue fixed. It was in fact the Amazon bulbs. Got some canbus bulbs in there and everything works as it should.

Also figured out why the headliner was sagging, someone forgot to put the velcro on the back of the headliner so it will stick to the roof. I have a lot of velcro at work and I will take some home.

not bad (after i adjusted to the camera being sideways [closed my eyes]).
i'd looked at 5" systems while searching for trucks, but the one i bought already had a MBRP 4". since it wouldn't be a choke point until 600hp, i stuck with it (and put that cash towards another snail). their mufflers are pretty nice & make a world of difference in the cab.

Weird video is perfect for me.

Honestly I find it very quiet. I have yet to tow or drive out to the lake but I was laughing at how quiet it is. I went with a 5” because people say that the 4” has less growl to it and because I just thought 5” would be cool lol

yeah, the straight 5" is a little louder than a straight 4".
until you're pushing a TON of power, 5" really just gets you a deeper tone. that's what led me to the whole 8" stack project i did (which started out just being facetious - but now that i put the muffler back in front of it, it's great, and my wife loves it, too.)

and i was just ribbing ya on this whole stupid trend of recording things in portrait format vs landscape (being a former video production guy where everything is based on watching videos on normal things like movie screens, TVs, computer screens, etc - that are all wider than they are tall... just like human vision.)

I prefer the landscape but youtube likes to shaft me and then upload my videos sideways sometimes so I just end up doing shorts portrait lol

Took a trip down to south Texas for the last hunting weekend of the season. Didn't get anything but enjoyed shooting some of my new guns and just being out there.



Hello Joseph. From the future!
Also my map lights and dome light buttons only work if I turn the cargo light on first, when the truck is on only, I have no issues when it is off. I need to pull the LEDs and see if I can work this stuff with normal bulbs. It isn't a big deal to turn the cargo light on though I can live with it if I have to.
