Some Flex form camping trip:

Wow looks like I about hit him, that truck would be the reason i have my X, uncles got that as a work truck so the X sat for about a year only being drove a few times a month. I was having to jump him. I think I had to about 8 times in the 4 days lol. It's an undersized battery for that truck and it was going bad

 

[Nixthebomb]

Update:

List of plannes mods
New HO Alternator (200A)
New Battery (Optima Red or Yellow top) unless someone has a better usggestion
Either K&N Cold Air Intake or Headlights
Other /\
New Amp/sub

And Tint will be thrown in somewhere, but that's the order I'm going off of

 

[SuddenDeath]

Check out the air intake thread on the forums, that with the mustang MAF would be a more cost effective modification than a $100-$200 K&N kit.

Nice truck!

 

[Nixthebomb]

So I've Made some modifications to my list

1. Big Three Upgrade with 1/0 gauge wire
2. 200A High Output Alternator
3. Optima Red Top
4. 2 JL Audio 12W0v2-4
5. Kenwood KAC-9104D
6. Tint

Things I may Do:
7. Headlights
8. K&N Cold Air Intake

Looking at my funds I should be finished about early September, but if worse comes to worse hopefully it'll be completed by Christmas. That's Not including the Headlights or Intake

 

[Nixthebomb]

So I've got all the money for big 3, waiting till the bank opens Monday and I'll be depositing that money and ordering the pieces needed. (1/0 gauge wire, Battery Terminals, Wire Lug). And I've got half of the money for my High Output Alternator put up.

Any suggestions from anyone?

 

[Nixthebomb]

Well Decided to spend some of that money(well uhm actually most of it) bought everything for headlight harness. Everything is on its way: 1/0 wire, battery terminal, wire lugs, everything for the harness

EDIT: Well replacing my rear left blinker yesterday, I noticed a gray connector, i thought it may be for tow, but wasn't sure. at the parts store where buying relays for headlight harness, I found the piece needed for the tow connector, bought it came home and hooked it up. used my multi-meter and a friend and confirmed it worked.

 

[Nixthebomb]

So update: 1/0 wire came in will put it on next day off hopefully tuesday. battery terminal came in, those ae already installed. and missing just a couple more parts for the headlight harness.

[Nixthebomb]

Well bumper was a surprise last Sunday, got it on, no pic's yet, but got my K&N filter and MAF adapter in and installed.

Also may be getting an amp from a family member soon, 4 channel, so I'd be powering all four speakers.

 

[Nixthebomb]

Wooh happy b-day to me today. Will be posting pics of the new bumper, and also got my new radiator installed and flushed the system.

 

[mpntball2012]

Happy belated birthday dude! Very nice X by the way. Just a couple of questions.

1) What LED's did you use to replace the two running lights in the top corners?
2) What switches have you wired up for the under-dash lights?

 

[Nixthebomb]

Of the headlights? just a normal 5smd LED like i ordered for the LED conversion, and for the under dash blue lights, that a hidden switch on the side of the short console (which i removed today, thinking about building one instead for that area) and the white one just come on with the dome lights

 

[BlueMystc5]

how did you do the gauge lights I really like that
