First bath! ONR plus TEC582. Takes 30 min to do the whole truck. Amazing.

Looks good. Do you dry ONR then apply 582 or do you use 582 as a rinse aid to wipe off?

Well, after a grueling 11 month (April 2024) and 2 order wait, I finally picked up the truck yesterday. Decided to get ahead of the battery issues and installed a Noco 2 bank charger/maintainer in the engine bay. I know its not meant to be installed in the truck but I tend to go on large road trips and work out of town frequently. Better to have it on me at all times.
When I plugged in the Noco for the first time, only the first red bar was blinking which means the batteries were under 25%. Truck computer showed a voltage in the low 13s.
After having the truck plugged in for about an hour I went on a drive and the truck computer showed 14v. So far so good! Ill clean up the wiring tomorrow.

Also installed the bulletpoint Solutions Rubigrid, along with the Magsafe phone mount and charger.

When I first plugged my Noco to the battery, only the first red bar lit up as well. But after 15-20min it was green. So I don’t believe mine was actually 25% initially. Mine is only a 2amp charger.

Thanks. My three steps:

1. Hose rinse to remove pollen/dust.
2. ONR with red sponge; dry with 350 microfiber, buff with 450 (Rag Company).
3. TEC582 on dry surface; apply with 350, buff with 500.

I did state limit of 35 on fronts because I'm a pussy.

Also it's dark and lots of deer around here, still need to see at night.

Jurys still out haven't really tested it yet.

What % is your windshield?

Did not do windshield. Photos were taken in the morning, so maybe just not too bright out yet.

I can certainly see your concern about the deer. I'd be nervous about striking one in the driveway, judging from your pics.

@Chainsaw Did you wrap the cab of your truck black or is that paint? I think yours is the first I've seen like that and it looks really good.

Thank you.

It is a vinyl wrap in 3M satin black, roof and pillars.

I usually wrap the hood and roof of all my trucks in black, but went a slightly different route this time. I think it came out great... really sets off the Hydro Blue.

Pic of Gen1 Raptor below circa 2014 with hood/roof in matte black, along with two-tone wrap in black - pretty sure Ram ended up copying me for the TRX two-tone..

Edit: also, a few more pics of the top in better lighting.

Let us know. It doesn’t come with a pedal commander right?
