  1. Onboard Air Compressor

    I'm gonna look into it a bit more and see what option is best here. Do you have any other inverters on the truck? Asides from the factory one.
  2. Onboard Air Compressor

    Ok that makes sense. I've had it run for about 10 min constantly, and the pump is warm, but the copper and brass parts get extremely warm. But again that's excessive use. I only put the heat shield there in case I have cargo or a passenger on that seat and I can't lower it down to use it.
  3. Onboard Air Compressor

    Do you have a heat shield on your compressor? I removed mine for the photo, but I have it made with 1/8" aluminum to protect the seat material from getting hot and potentially catching fire.
  4. Onboard Air Compressor

    Do you have the solar panel wired into a charging system, or just plugged into a 12v cigarette outlet in the truck? I was debating on mounting a smaller solar panel on the roof behind the panoramic glass, so it doesn't obscure the view. Just wasn't sure if I wanted to plug it into a 12v plug, or...
  5. Onboard Air Compressor

    I really dig your setup, especially the rooftop tent and awning. I use my truck for work in construction to I can't permanently keep a tent over my bed. I had built a rail system over my bed to hold my bikes and a tent as well. But they're all removable, 8 bolts and the whole thing unmounts from...
  6. Onboard Air Compressor

    So it's a fuse on the motor itself (no idea the rating), but I threw in 50a resettable fuse inline as well. Just as a precaution. The compressor says it runs at 45a.
  7. Onboard Air Compressor

    What's going on everyone, just wanted to share my new on board air compressor setup for my truck. I was debating on getting an ARB dual air compressor but couldn't justify the price, so I was looking at the Smitty Built 2781 and the All Top ATACR180L. I ended up going with the All Top...
  8. 2021 FX4 Leveled ground clearance measurements

    I built this bracket out of 3/4" flat stock steel. Used some plastic washers on the sides to allow movement, so it won't bind when flipping it up and down. It's also has a slight bend (for tension) in it to allow it to stay flipped up when the winch is in use. Then just used some 1/4" nuts and...
  9. 2021 FX4 Leveled ground clearance measurements

    Sure, so bought a winch mounting plate from Princess Auto (canadian version of harbor freight) and then used an adjustable class IV trailer hitch I had laying around, then married the two with "welds from Hell" as my dad says. So first off I got some rough measurements of the opening and...
  10. 2021 FX4 Leveled ground clearance measurements

    Ya I have about 1/4" and 3/8" difference from the front driver/passenger, and rear driver/passenger. Now there are multiple factors too. Mainly full or half tank of gas, and cargo in the bed or cab. As well as how broken in the suspension is. It'll probably settle over time with more use...
  11. 2021 FX4 Leveled ground clearance measurements

    I kinda did the same thing initially, but I did try to remember to get the before and after measurements from the center of the fenders so I could ensure I had the proper rake (to match factory) so I didn't have to have the ADAS camera recalibrated. So here's my pre-level measurements. DF- 38...
  12. 2021 FX4 Leveled ground clearance measurements

    It's a cheapo winch from princess auto. Picked it up for 200$. One for the front. One for the rear. Then I fabed up the license plate flip up bracket.
  13. 2021 FX4 Leveled ground clearance measurements

    I just have measurements of the wheel opening for the before and after. No frame or pumpkin measurements.
  14. 2021 FX4 Leveled ground clearance measurements

    Hey everyone, I thought I'd share some pics/measurements of the ground clearances on certain areas of the 2021 trucks with a leveling kit. I've looked online countless times to find relevant information regarding some of these measurements, whether it's for our F150s or other vehicles. So I...
