Dealership told me they couldn't do it (they literally didn't have anyone who knew how), so I ordered the $13 cable, downloaded the software, and did it myself too :-)


Changed all kinds of other stuff too like light shutoff times, door locking functions, and rear wiper intervals. Glad I took the time to figure it out!

Installed the Icon tubular UCAs with Delta Joint!

Hardest part was getting the 3rd washer in as it was a very snug fit. Ended up using a large flat screwdriver to pry the rubber bushing away from the bolt tube then sliding in the washer. Then used a mallet to pound in the washer the rest of the way.

Be carful not to over torque the brake line mount nut.

Apparently my pics didn't work on my last post

Finally got a nice day to rip the bumper off my nice new truck, it was nerve racking but I definitely took my time and made sure every bolt and clip was removed correctly and that nothing got broken.

A little before of the unmolested front end

mvimg_20180501_161434_07f00be3b87113e102fdbeeec6e0161ed613aef6.jpg


And off we go!

mvimg_20180501_163515_2e04890fcc9fa52d3e33217831df09444fae3174.jpg


Put it on a blankie for safe keeping

img_20180501_163521_a16bfdac81d60770ad34c1520e755c8864e665f6.jpg


And voila! It took me a while to get the Rago brackets mounted and widened for the larger screws, but I got everything mocked up and mounted

img_20180501_174429_ce8dfb4b4f5a83c327e8071e6dd7d1bec1db2648.jpg


This is the same 32" light bar that I removed from my 08

Since I had the bumper off I also had to install my Black Morimoto XB LED fog lights as well

mvimg_20180501_181549_3e2d95a00a403a0c294205fd9c1ed3f760f7ab38.jpg


Testing the wiring out, these suckers are bright as hell

img_20180501_182539_abc5888e2170d1ba98f562e7dc17927e4b82d6f9.jpg


Fished the switch wiring and got the light bar all wired up!

img_20180501_191000_d7cb261c5a78eac135759a22af11c711ed5ce720.jpg


And here is the light bar hidden behind the factory grille, bumper wasn't bolted yet, just checking fitment

img_20180501_194832_ae8ddbee9eced3234faccf9e6e8ae615fee9bedc.jpg


And all bolted up! You can see the new black LED fog lights as compared to the stock reflector housings
mvimg_20180501_194837_4a35b43c5afd0c1a154a5a6bfcd134ca500ffb82.jpg


All back together

mvimg_20180501_214742_1__d198795f4dc6513b46b1a060ce440b872bdb0620.jpg


And boom!

img_20180501_194856_bc6974ea891617c64b899f4adb772ea6e9124e94.jpg


Alright, so I snapped a few more pics. Here she is waiting for me at work (some dbag in a caddy parked on top of me) :whyme:

img_20180502_163738_a5686f1c83d2092ba96584a08b15dae6a799b492.jpg


And here is the OEM style switch since Cu2 asked for a pic, I will be moving these around next time I add another switch in there

img_20180502_172137_52b7b29b4c60cc6e733ed92b8d82729f0fae4484.jpg



And I got the fog light fuse replaced (the wires touched while I was testing the wiring direction) so I got these bad boys fired up you can see that they match the HID's perfectly

mvimg_20180502_172149_96ad5b1d24ce4c8a6fd6b3d1a11526cc8fcdd0b3.jpg



And some night time shots, you can see the nice fog light cutoff (gf was not impressed...)

img_20180502_205743_d99980b150520e4c90cd6e948f574b7eb9833357.jpg



And the fogs at night

img_20180502_205759_1__1dd1ec4e495f595542d5c8dcb5c5b81b0febc641.jpg


And this is the headlights, fog lights and LED bar, there is no breakup from the mesh of the grille, we tried it on several dark roads and couldn't tell the difference from when I had it exposed in my last truck, I'm super close to the garage door so it looks more like a spotlight than a flood, I have a mix of both

img_20180502_205816_beb1d7acaf718393f5649c2a0e3ca26ef24d4162.jpg


Say cheese! :nod:

Yesterday I installed my rear hatch speakers, the adapters I had needed to be modified for the wider baskets so I ordered a set from TacoTunes to match the ones I used in all the other doors. Current count is 6 replaced, only the 2 dash tweeters are left, and I'm putting 3.5" coaxials in their place like I had in the doors of my 08

img_20180426_171702_b5d17c8556ca3d887187dbfde784df6d9fbfda11.jpg


Here's a before of the crappy paper cone garbage

img_20180426_171658_8a12e906942e4737514a3f2a8262e5011daddf37.jpg


And all mounted up and ready to go

img_20180505_201743_2a9bfe9d5f18c069a6f06bed89f3a1398cc94e23.jpg


I go to a lot of concerts and do a lot of tailgating, so these will definitely get some good use, had to flip around a bit to get the holes lined up, no biggie

img_20180506_144108_fa087ef6b75b5d9a4fda3f7449522572a0637fcc.jpg


And got them both installed, took about 10 minutes once I had the right brackets lol

img_20180506_150036_859f025d45fbbaa7a7a5dbde26c2a6bd8b899af6.jpg


I replaced them in the rain, was nice to have the rear hatch as shelter, but it was just drizzling

Under my truck now

Borla is going on, worth it for the exhaust tip alone. Look for a good used set, way to much money new.

Hit up a State Park a couple hours south of STL. I was probably more excited than I should have been to drive through 5” of water flowing over a road.
