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

Added the f-150 badge skins. Got them through Ford with my reward points.

The wheels are ICON Rebound 18x9 with +6 offset. The tires are Nexen Roadian MTX in 35x12.50. I had to trim the inner fender liner a little bit, but not a ton.

Nice to see someon else rocking a +6 offset around here. Looks good.

Debating doing this too. Difficulty of install, 1 to 10? (10 is hardest)

I used the Starkey plugs (https://www.starkey-products.com/pr...g-lights-adapter-for-led-headlights-2021-2023) which really made it plug and play. The install is pretty easy, the vents pop off (pull them straight out, they're just clipped in) and I was able to take them inside to get the lights installed and the wires prepped. Once ready, fish the wire to the headlight cavity, ziptie up the excess wire, and pop the vents back in. The mkII's come with _plenty_ of cable to reach up to the headlight where the Starkey plugs in. They're already backed with the automotive tape to tape them inside between the grey and gold pieces, so peel and stick. Maybe a 2 or a 3 on the difficulty scale. The lights comes with wiretaps, but I'm not a huge fan of that.

Trickiest part is fishing the wire over the fender since access is limited, but a fishing tool will help with that. Something like https://www.amazon.com/ANRANK-Flexible-Grabber-Pickup-Spring/dp/B07PLVG1ZC?tag=f150tremor-20. Remove 3 screws to loosen the fender liner so you can access the back of the headlight. Pop the vent, mount the light (the wire goes through an existing gap in the vent plastic), fish it, secure the excess cable, and plug it into the Starkey. Starkey rigs them to your parking lights, not the DRL which is the only down side. You could always re-wire the positive lead if you wanted, but parking lights was fine for me.

FYI, Just noticed that Starkey now has a full adapter for the Dynamic LED harness that gives you DRL, Parking, Turn and Ground. Almost double what parking only is, but another clean install if you want it on DRL.

I assume the tires mounted onto the stock Tremor wheels?

Nah. on my Fuel Offroad Rebel 6 18x9 ET20. I thought about trying a 1/4" spacer but that much swing in the wheel would likely hit my crash bars on compression.

The 2.0 version of these lights don't require you to pop off the vents at all. If you want to run clean wires without pulling of the vents you can also do the same from underside by removing a few more clips under the liner.

Interesting the +20 offset didn't work. Make me feel better about going +6 though I know it doesn't help you any.

It does. Honestly it would have been cheaper getting new wheels and I've always said a +12 is the perfect offset for function. 6 is a bit more poke than I want (since my fender flares are still in the box 2 years later)

Yep. If I was to do it again a +12 would be good. I have roughly an inch of clearance between my 12.2 inch wide tires and the billet UCA.
