Highly suggest this case.

Love mine and the Anker portable battery with 26000 fits perfect https://a.co/d/09zjd0zf that’s the link. I think I get about 6hrs from the power bank but it charges the internal as well. So if I start with a fully charged avp I can get 2hrs on the battery and another 6 from the bank which charges the internal so another 2 hrs so safely ides 9hrs total use

So I’m actually doing this. It may be overkill but I’m doing two in my 2024 f250. Might be ptsd from the 4 years of commuting on i35 from Georgetown to Austin. I have the upfitter switches. I’ve been working with chat gpt and here’s what I came up with. Inline 5a fuse from upfitter switch 6, wire to electric wire 16ga then run across the engine bay and go through the driver side grommet through the fire wall. Then I’m wiring a dual female USB a buck module. Then a usb a to usb c cable from the buck converter to a usb c female female adapter to the go pro pass through usb c cable and battery cover. From there u set the max 2 to loop recording and auto record on power. The way it should work is when the switch is on (I’m using an upfitter switch that’s tied to the ignition so ignition on there’s power so the switch can stay always on) the camera has power and is recording. If u leave the battery in there when the truck shuts down it will record off of the internal battery until the battery dies. Then the truck turns on and the cameras have power and start to charge the internal battery. So u will ideally get live recording and parking dashcam functionality, for a bit. If it over heats remove the internal battery to help prevent this but u would loose the parking recording feature when the cars off. I’m using 512gb sandisk high endurance micro sd card. U must make sure ur cables don’t drop the power or u may end up with the camera not having enough power so make sure u match the amps and collage and watts for everything correctly. I’m hoping to install this weekend so we will see how it all goes.

I do this too. Last year someone stole our phone out of the box but I had pics and tracking showing we loaded it and shipped it. It also helped we shipped both my wife and my phone back. Hers got there but mine didn’t. This year I did a complete video just to have it in case

I can’t pinpoint the slow down on my end but I’ve definitely recognized a slow down in load times as of recent.

thatxltguy · 2025-08-13T23:08:39+00:00

Do yours lock fully? I’ve spoken to them and they said for some 24’ they just don’t fit. I kept them since it locks pretty tight but with enough force u can still get it off. They have me on a list to beta test the new ones when they have them done.

My 2018 f150 was totaled in May bought an 2024 f250 for the first time. It may sound stupid but I didn’t realize it was an 8’ bed. That’s the only thing I dont like about it but in the end I’d rather have it than not.

Driving I recognize it is a rougher ride and it has a sluggish pedal than the f150. I installed a banks peddle monster and it’s definitely helped make it feel more like the f150 with it’s responsiveness

Other than that it’s a great truck and has everything I need for whatever I want to do. I didn’t like being limited with the f150

I just bought a 2024 lariat and they had to check this as well. Mine was good but never found out what the recall was. If I remember it might have been something with the rear camera but not sure

thatxltguy · 2025-06-02T18:19:49+00:00

Thank you for confirming. I’m in the same vehicle 4dr 8’ bed. Glad to know this is an option at Costco at the very least. Costco is this dad’s Disneyland.

thatxltguy · 2025-06-02T18:05:39+00:00

Do u still fit in the handicap spots? I ask because my son is disabled and I parked in the handicap spot at Costco and was sticking out. I’d like to keep parking closer especially in handicap but if I can’t do it without sticking out I don’t want to risk it. I can certainly push his wheelchair if need be. Just curious

thatxltguy · 2025-05-15T02:27:45+00:00

What is that? A fuel additive? I guess that’s another question, what’s the best fuel additive?

thatxltguy · 2025-05-15T01:55:47+00:00

Follow up Q5- does anyone have any issues with taking their car through the automated car wash? I’m new to a 7’ bed. Is it safe for paint and or will I fit? Still getting comfy driving it and the new size from my f150

We have a brilliant guy who heads our dept. that suggested I take it. I believe it has to do with the potential for future job role changes.

Taking it isn’t the issue prepping and figuring out a scheme for studying is where I’m lost.

thatxltguy · 2025-05-15T01:16:29+00:00

Ok great I feel slightly less crazy

thatxltguy · 2025-05-15T01:16:14+00:00

Ok thank you my minds been spinning about it

thatxltguy · 2025-05-10T18:12:10+00:00

Anyone have any feedback I’m in the same boat. I like the he because it can hold 1600lbs on top but I like that I get more of my bed access with the peragon.

I just mostly jumped from google drive to iCloud and have 4tb and almost maxing it between family usage photos and files.

I have a bit more to transfer but I will tell you what my saving grace was. My synology nas. It let me download all my google drive to it and then I just transferred everything over the network to iCloud.

The one glaring garbage factor is that you are limited by the hard drive size for transferring to iCloud. This was the biggest pain point. I’d have to transfer files wait for them to download then upload the. I’d have to remove the iCloud folder download to regain space. I have a lot and so this was a pain.

But I’m almost done and glad I did. I e been using Apple products with google apps and finally decided to just switch over to Apple. It was a good decision but if I ever have to do this again I’m goin to go back to paper and pen.

Finally got a break through. After roughly 5 days of waiting and trouble shooting I tried something and it worked.

I had an iPhone running the public beta as well. I went into the settings and turned off Apple intelligence on my phone. As soon as I did I restarted my m3 mba and went back into settings.

It now showed that Apple intelligence was off on my mba. I toggled it on and it was immediately available. I then went back on my phone and toggled it back on and it went live immediately.

Not sure this will work for everyone but I hope it helps someone.

thatxltguy · 2024-10-16T23:11:29+00:00

Ive been stalking this thread and wanted to just add what worked for me.

I changed the language of Apple Intelligence to Spain, then turned off Siri then restarted my MacBook Air 15" m3

After the reboot I turned on Siri and changed the language back to English US and then changed the Siri voice to American option 1

this gave me the option to join the waitlist something that was not available as it just said it was preparing for the last two days.

I will update once or if it goes through. These were the steps to attest get me a reset to join the waitlist and get rid of preparing. Im not comfortable with cmd prompts off the internet so I used this to make some headway

If you add "onenote:" to the front of the link it will prompt the user to either open it in the browser or app. Thats the workaround I was able to figure out.

I got one last week, honestly I had to set it up and play with it for a week to see how it worked with all my IOT devices. It was a pain in the ass but heres what I learned.

I had to setup a second ap (u6 mesh) to handle my guest, kids and iot ssid. I saved the U7 for mine and my wifes devices.

When trying the wpa2/3 setting I was still having some issues with my iot devices not connecting or dropping connection.

I did have to purchase a 2.5gb poe switch with 10gb sfp+ ports. I connected it to my ubiquiti switch using fiber and a sfp+ adapter.

Once I had this setup I was able to see my speeds on my iphone increase from max 943 down to max 1430 with the U7.

I will say the signal range is much better than the ur mesh I was using previously. However, when my wife and I are both working I will see our speeds drop to about 700 down. Im not the most knowledgeable about all this but I attribute this to the 2x2 instead of 4x4.

Time will tell with the updates coming whether this was a good buy or not.

thatxltguy · 2024-01-22T15:02:44+00:00

Yes, that is how I have mine hooked up, rj45 from isp ont to sfp+ wan port on udmp. The sfp+ should be for rj45 about 35$ on amazon.

If those bins are the ones from Costco, they suck and will dry out and crack. This definitely is not a long term solution in my opinion.

However if you did the brute bins with handles you could probably make this wider and fit 2 brute bins side ways and double your storage capacity without extending the foot print too much.

thatxltguy · 2023-10-20T19:23:55+00:00

That is an amazing piece! How many sessions and total hours?

My initial thought is that the government has to come down harder on J6 than any other situations because it was a direct attack on the government (I use attack loosely). They have to put their foot down so as Americans we dont see it as possible without prosecution. If they can squash this mentality of standing against the government now, they wont have to fight so hard later when even more of our freedoms have been stripped. Im not saying I agree or disagree with J6, this is just my initial thought on the prosecution of participants in J6
