What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Taking mine into the dealer at lunch today, yesterday morning battery was dead. Less than a year old and around 21,500 miles on it. Guy at auto part store checked and said battery was bad. We’ll see what the dealer says. It was cold, but not bad, only about 28 or so.

Dealer said everything looked good and was working as it should. I’m happy as long as it doesn’t die on me again. At least it’s on record if I have any more problems I guess.
 
Follow up pics

Finally got around to hiding the RI SRpro 20” midnight edition. Not as tinted black as I hoped, but sure is bright.

Still pretty well hidden although the pics on rigid website make the midnight black look almost black, its barely tinted. And the new beam pattern is great.

Fianally!! Got my F35 from across the pond and installed. Worked great with rack and was able to keep flush with the Baja as to not affect the RTT. My original plan was to have this because of the easy on/off but looks so good on, its staying!!

What % tint are your windows? Love the look and need to change mine.

well done. I did something similar with a cheapo, china made light bar. Goal of my build was to make everything look "integrated" or "oem". I think you nailed it.

I might have to tint my front light bar a tad now.......lol
 
Had the door ding fixed, front and rear bumper trim painted black along with the roof rails.....Just waiting for the Rago factory rail support system and the 275/70/17 Ko2's to arrive...

Haha, thanks. Yeah that wasn’t easy to digest for a little light bar but got the job done. Lady friend calls it the PRO +. Trying not to get too extreme.

I installed YodaTEQ’s ECL today. I got tired of needing a headlamp to mess around under the hood. This worked perfect. I also really appreciate that they took the time to include a hand written thank you card with my item. Highly recommend.

Nice, what route does the wire take up to the light?

A battery does not die for no reason, unless it's defective. Whatever made it die is till there, and will happen again probably at a bad time.

Did you charge it? Just driving typically won't fully charge a dead battery.

What mods are made to the truck? Remote start perhaps?

The store that said it was bad ... did you say "show me what's wrong?" Interesting you took it to a store for a diagnosis, and then ignored their results.

No mods that require electricity to run, other than factory remote start. I didn’t ignore the store diagnosis, I took it to the dealer as soon as I could. I didn’t think the cold would sap a newer battery, but they said everything looked good. At that point, the car is starting like it’s no problem, I can’t tell him it’s bad. If it dies again I might leave it and make them tow it in, that way there’s no way any problems will be hidden.
