What did you do TO your F-150 today? 🙋🏻‍♂️

[YzermanTopShelf]

My modifications:

icon stage 3 suspension (made for 2020), not really a level, just an improved suspension that happens to raise the front 1.75 inches. We had to make some modifications so the ride height sensor would work. All is fine until I go off road. I don’t recommend this mod until the official 2021 release.

Autobahn i3 tint and 2 layers of Autobahn ceramic paint coating.

Fuel Blitz Wheels 20x9 +1 offset

RSI Smart cap with paint match. The RSI roof drop rack was ordered months ago and will probably be here in a month or 2

cradlepoint 1700 router with both Verizon and ATT SIM cards with parsec husky low profile dome antennae. All of this is installed in the smart cap. We had to fabricated an equipment rack for the inside of the roof cap.

Yeah, curious why the serious wireless capabilities? On a similar note, I’ve always wondered why trucks/cars come with hotspot tech and whether people use it or not. My assumption is that my phone is sufficient and if my phone doesn’t have service then the hotspot (or a setup like your’s) won’t either. You know what they say about assumptions... ?

I ordered a Dongar Technologies 16 pin connector for the rear view mirror yesterday. Hoping it actually works as advertised and it'll power my dashcam.

I spend a lot of time in areas that don’t have much service. The cradlepoint has a Verizon and Att sim, so it automatically switches to the more powerful signal and the parsec antennae works better than the phone antennae. It also has WiFi and GPS. The cradle point maps the area I’ve traveled and creates kind of a signal strength map. I haven’t been able to really test it yet. I could go on but we are just kind of scratching the surface of its capabilities. There is also a VPN tunnel so I can connect to everything at the office pretty easily. Or setup a remote workstation with pretty much mUltiple users. My IT guy could explain it better.

Ah, so you get a stronger signal with the antennae than you would with your phone. That definitely seems like a good benefit. The signal strength map is very cool too. Thanks for sharing! Similar to the 2 SIM cards in your Cradlepoint, I use a physical SIM with AT&T and an eSIM with TMobile in my iPhone. Always nice to have 2 carrier coverage.

Looking to the future of this thread ...

Tomorrow, I drop mine off for ceramic coating.

Loaded a ton of pellitized lime to take over to my property along with a 3 pt spreader and hooked up the Kubota tractor to spread over my 2 acre food plot, then spread 45 lbs of various clovers, chicory and alfalfa. After finishing those tasks, opened the back window, put down the gate, cranked up some tunes and fired up a nice Cuban Bolivar cigar and enjoyed some of the sun. All and all, a nice day!

I’m jealous. Was going to frost seed this year but the snow is too deep yet. Can’t wait to get my food plot going. Putting in forage soybeans this year.

Spreading seed on top of snow can be very effective. Part of my plot was still covered and I spread lime and clover on top as I heard from a number of experienced people that it works very well. Snow should be gone this week with 4 days in the 60's.

Well done! ‘Love the look of those Fuel Blitz wheels on a dark vehicle. I’ve added them to the top of my short-list for my (still pending) Smoked Quartz Platy.

@Tom32,

I am pleased to see that you’ve succeeded in using FORScan on your 2021 F-150.

For those of us considering larger tires, do you know if you can readily change the speedometer settings? Is there a particular S/W version or any H/W that you would recommend? (I’ve never used FORScan, so any insights would be greatly appreciated.) Thx!

Friday I ordered 285/65-20 Yokohama Geolanders and will be picking them up today/tomorrow. I don't currently have a truck to put them on, but all in due time. They are a smidge larger than the 285/65's other members have, so fingers crossed there is no rubbing.
