Got wheels on and lucked out. Seller said no tpms but they are in and work good!
I have a virtually new set of 1.75 inch Spidertrax spacers for sale. Mounted once, drove 50 miles to check torque, took them off. Nothing wrong with them but weren't for me. Great fit and finish, no vibration. I'll throw in a bottle of ORANGE threadlock, high strength but doesn't require heat to remove. Came off very clean and smooth.Thank you. Leveled? Think it would rub without leveling? Think I may give this a shot until I buy aftermarket wheels.
If you add a lil hose to it you don't need to remove the skid plate/$hitty fabric diaper every time you change the oil.
Was #2 - Global Windows. I saw Global Windows, but wasn’t sure exactly what to change.Popped my ForScan

That is a really nice touch good job.Idk about you guys, but I've never been a fan of the hole in the front bumper, I think the bumper looks "unfinished".
I don't get why the Raptor is the only F-150 EB that comes with a nice little grille from the factory.
Anyways, I remembered I had an old metal grille laying around from a project on my previous 2017 F150, that I thought looked similar to the Raptor grille with the honeycomb style that I like.

So I grabbed a beer, good old grinder, a little welding, made a little bracket to hold it from the back, and finally some paint. And this is what came out of that.
Also added a Tremor badge to make it a little OEM'ish. I'm pretty pleased with the way it looks. I think now the bumper looks "finished". Onto the next project!.

Took me 5 hours on one side and 2.5hr on the other, but I succeeded! Going for an alignment tomorrow, it rides horribly right now.
How involved was the sound deadening install? Definitely get some road noise up thereI put in the footwell ambient lighting along with the lighted cup holders. I also put some sound deadening in the doors with some block off plates from sounds good stereo. Happy with both so far.

It was fairly easy to do the outer door skins. That was all I did since i only had so much of the kilmat leftover from last truck. The doors have a pretty good sized opening, so I didn’t scratch up my hands too bad. I could tell right away that the mid base is noticeably better with the plates.How involved was the sound deadening install? Definitely get some road noise up there
Any info on the maker of the backing plates?? ThanksFinished my running board lighting project.
This started as just stranded running board lighting intended to illuminate the ground.
But I was contacted by someone what was making backing plates for our steps that you can paint whatever color you want and see the color through the steps. I had mine pained tremor orange(thanks @cranberry for the paint code).

I do like this detail in the daytime. As far as dirt accumulating in the steps, the ends are open and so far stuff washes out pretty easy. I also have noticed less stuff kicked up along the door panels from the road.
Once I saw these and how they installed, I got to thinking about my step lighting. I didn’t really want the full up underglow look and thought it would be neat for the steps to light up. So I mounted my sidekick running board lights from Opt7 lighting inside the steps. And this is the result! The way it lights up the door sille scuff labels was an awesome surprise.
