A very different mod list than mine.

Why no go fast(er) mods? (YET?!?)

I don't know? I guess my tendencies are more looks vs. speed. I like the performance of my truck as is.

How does the sunroof sunshade do in that Texas sun? I am very interested in keeping my 2017 cooler.

How does the sunroof sunshade do in that Texas sun? I am very interested in keeping my 2017 cooler.

So far so good. Without yet measuring temps of the retractable shade with / without the shade in place, I do feel that there is less radiant heat felt on my bald head. I know, not at all scientific but we are having record heat now (103* - 105* days) and I’m not feeling as much heat from the roof.
I’m leaving the sun shade in place above the retractable shade 100% of the time now. No point opening the roof to let in the sun.

Equipment bought since last update:
X 24” 2-speed garage fan

Update on item added:
X locking gas cap, Ford brand - details in this posting: Trying out a Ford Locking Gas cap

 

[Boatwaco]

X RCI cat converter guards

Added RCI catalytic converter guard wings to my transmission skid plate. Details here: Today I installed my RCI skid plates

 

[spammagnet]

Still to do:
... Fumoto valve (I don’t change my own oil so will have to charm the dealership mechanic next oil change to install this)

Assuming that's an oil drain valve, why do you care if you don't change your own oil?

 

[Boatwaco]

I bought it to help divert oil draining to the open area of the skid plate. I’m certain a mechanic won’t care if oil splatters everywhere and then drip constantly onto my driveway from the plate.
So I want to have the Fumoto oil drain plug installed to minimize the oil onto the plate.

X Rear shocks - Bilstein 5100’s
Today I installed the rear Bilstein 5100’s.
Ride is “nicer”. Firmer feel on bouncy turns.
