installed Aiden James Customs DRL a few days ago. I also disabled the stock DRL.

I like to concept, but in hindsight I wouldn't do it again.
a few issues....COMMUNICATIONS.....they dont answer their emails... I actually got to the point of requesting a refund through paypal and finally got replies...but they delayed things until they could finally ship my order...forcing me to withdraw my refund request.

finally received the lights, installed them, but ran into an issue...the "add-a-fuse" does not seat properly in the fuse box...it butts against another fuse (Sorry dont have pics, can take some if anyone wants to see).
So with this issue, the "add-a-fuse" has backed itself out a few times.....truck wont start if this happens bc its installed in the INJ slot. so you gotta pop the hood and and reinsert. Will probably just route it into the fuse box in the cabin and be done with it.

Also, no easy way to route the wires into fuse box.... ended up cutting a piece out of fuse box cover with dremel....(I know there are probably better options)...and will address this later.

All in all, like I said...great concept...but poor execution and LOUSY customer service/communications.

The lights look great though, unless its really sunny out, then they are not visible at all.

So I've owned this thing a month and the modding has begun, since the air filters are different I couldn't transfer my last K&N to this truck from my 4th gens, I had to bite the bullet and buy a new one. It's amazing the increase in throttle response you get just by letting these trucks breathe.

Truck only has 1000 miles on it so the factory one is still brand new, put that away for if/when I ever trade this guy in.

Nice and shiny engine bay, it's weird working on a brand new truck, all the bolts are shiny and silver. It's officially not a brand new truck anymore, because I lost a clip lol

I still have to clean up my HID relay harness and ballasts from the last truck because they're a bit dirty after being in an engine bay for 5 years, but I did throw in my SilverStar Ultra high beam bulbs from my old truck.

Finally picked her up from the dealership after waiting 9 days (Dealership had it longer since I bought it) due to a shimmy issue when going 60mph. I installed the black overlays and my first pic with the OPOR sliders installed right before dropping it of the dealership.

Installed the Salex OCD console organizer last night. Got the upper and lower organizers for around $25 shipped from Amazon. Man, what a difference it made to the empty cavern the console used to be.
 
Took the pup out in the woods for a quick hike after work. She weighed in a little on the heavy side at the vet this weekend so it’s time to cut back on lazy couch days (for both her and myself) :whistle:

So is the shimmy gone? What fixed It?

One tire was causing it the whole time.....This is after multiple balancing (road forced) and after they replaced the steering rack and pinion too...
Wow i would have said lets put new tires on before i said a rack and pinion.
