What's new

🛠️ What have you done to your F150 Tremor this week?

Fingers crossed that you won’t have any “denied factory warranty claims” because of said part replacement.
Never had an issue with my Ford dealership. I had a blown turbo in my 2013, full covered under warranty with an aftermarket CAI and Intercooler installed. I will always keep the original easy 45 minute swap. Ford is actually pretty good compared to other nightmares I have heard from other makers.

Yep, VAG does not play around.
 
Well, Wildpeak AT4W in 35x11.5r18 wouldn't fit, rubber back wheel well liner on the front of the truck. Ended up with 295/70r18 +6 offset. I need to clean the truck but here is preliminary photos. I have RC sport fender flares coming in tomorrow so I will see how they look.

How much lift over stock Tremor? Interesting that there is no rubbing with 6 offset. Have you try articulating offroad?
Do you have pics with the RC sport? Thanks

I have rubbing backing up on the rear crash bars and have not adjusted those, otherwise I am good at this point. I have not pushed it into full articulation yet so not sure there but if I was going to do this again I would have went with a +12 offset. I test fitted the RC fender flares and sent them back, they went way past the tire and looked horrible.

Are you positive those were the Sport and not SF1? The Sport has 1in coverage and someone with less offset than yours the tire doesn’t go past it

Yes.

Ceramic coated the truck and installed my fox shocks. Used the kit from Adam’s, the light color definitely makes it harder to do but still wasn’t terrible. See how it holds up now.

Purchased some door sill scuff kick plates from Amazon and trying to decide which sticker replacement to go with.

I have two different Etsy sellers saying they will make a custom one to fit the dimensions I provide.
 
Couple pics here for folks not in the flares thread
Today/yesterday I added flares and spacers.

Rough Country Sport Flare, unpainted matte black. Great fit and finish, just annoying to get the weatherstripping just right.

1.75 inch Spidertrax spacers. Just got done re checking after 50 miles as instructed by Spidertrax. All tight, no movement. No signs of metal against metal movement/shifting.

No real change to steering feel, maybe centers oh so slightly more, can't say. Suspension feels about the same, maybe a little more jittery on bumps/rough pavement (and the pavement SUCKS here... third world country type bad)..... not sure or just me being paranoid driving on the spacers first time.... but Spidertrax is very high quality, USA metal, usa studs 10.9 graded, made in Colorado.
Would you mind showing a picture like this 1st one, but with your new wheels with the 12 offset? Since those new wheels poke out less than your stock ones with the spacers, I am curious about the look. Trying to decide if I get those fenders or not.

I adjusted the rear crash bars this morning, I should have done it some ti.e ago. Zero rubbing on either reverse or compressing the suspension. +6 offset it good to go.
 
Put on the Injen dual filter intake. Now you hear the turbos and BOV but it is not obnoxious. Pic just before I put the filters on. Jumped in to drive and didn’t get a picture before dark set in.

Also, cleaned up the rig this morning.

Next up:
Mag Hytec rear diff cover
Front end level
Exhaust tips
Black out skid plate

Happy 4th y'all!
It’s your vehicle and money but flat back rear differential covers aren’t a wise choice.
 
? explain....
Not sure about the style of rear diff cover you're looking at, but most times the flat faced ones retain heat, not alot of room for adequate fluid, but ones with fins allow for better heat dissipation. Think that's what he was saying
 
It also has to do with the path of the fluid when the ring gear is spinning. It's meant to get driven up and lube the pinion shaft. This gets disrupted with the flat back diff cover. It also causes more turbulence in the fluid which leads to more aeration and worse lubrication. Plenty on YouTube about this.
