2024 Iconic Silver Tremor Build

The Yankum Fairlead has been installed. I'm still waiting for their Winch Line to come in.

I drove the Tremor up to Va a couple weeks ago. What a great ride!

There are no weird noises or issues at all with plenty of power and a nice ride with the Icon Suspension. The only thing I don't care for so much is the R&P Steering. My F350 turns much sharper in a parking lot for example. I'll get used to it.

I have no regrets on any of the Modifications so far. This truck has turned out really nice to my liking.

I have the BillieBars 17" Rack coming soon which will mount to the T-Slots on the XR Tonneau. I'll add a Side Bike Rack, Awning and Molle Panel. After that install, then she will be done, I think?

Come on now, you really don’t like the EPAS steering system on the F150?

I installed the Billie Bars Rack about a month ago. BB has many different racks to choose from depending on your application and different Rack Heights as well.

I narrowed it down to the T-Slot mount style 11" and the 17". These seemed to be the most versatile with many options to add to the racks. These mount to my Tonneau Cover T-Slots and make a Very clean install. I decided on the 17" Height because I also did not want any blockage of the rear view out the back window.

ALL of the Billie Bar Racks are Stout and can carry just about anything you want. I also ordered the Side Mount Bike Rack, a Molle Panel, and on the driver's side an Awning Mount. If I wanted to add another bike, I think I could still mount another Side Mount Bike Rack under the Awning.

If I were to add a RTT to this rack it would be a few inches higher than the Roof of the truck. Maybe a 11" Height Rack would be better for a RTT?

I just turned over 5000 miles on this truck and had it serviced. Just the basic oil change, filter and tire rotation. No issues, updates or recalls to take care of.

I do have an Oil Catch Can / Separator on the 5.0L and it had about 1oz. of oil in it after the 5000 miles. Seems to be worth it in the long run to not have any oil going into the Intake.

After 5000 miles the suspension has settled some. The fender heights are now at 41" in the front and 42 1/2" in the rear. This is with a Winch up front with a Swarfworks Mount and a Standard F150 1" block installed in the rear in addition to the Icon Springs.

I'll do the Differential and Transfer Case fluids soon.

This has been a great truck so far! Loving it!

I've had this awning for a couple years and finally mounted it today. It's an overland Pro 270-W3. Very easy to install with the Billie Bar Awning Mounts.

This Awning extends to the front of the Drivers Side Door all the way around to the Passenger Side rear corner.

Still liking your Billie Bars? I'm thinking about a t-slot style cover, right now leaning towards the BAK X4TS so that down the road I could go with either the 11" or 17" bars. With the 17" the X4TS could roll up all the way back, the 11" could only roll up to the back support though but seems like otherwise the 11" might be more convenient. I probably wouldn't go RTT, thinking more for either storing tubs with camping gear so kayaks can fit in the bed, or vice versa..
