What's new

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

Reverse level. Removed rear blocks and dropped the rake 2 inches from 42-1/4" to 40-1/4". Rake is about 1-1/2" now.

DONE! No more punkin spice on the outside. Took the grill inserts off without removing the whole grill and used J7 touch-up paint which is a shade lighter than OEM "carbonized gray". The inserts don't border any body panels so it the lighter shade doesn't show except against the sticker on the oval.

Very impressed in the snow so far compared to the white I previously had! I didn’t get to drive a lot as the winter is only starting but it will definitely be an improvement!
Thanks for the reply, looking to pick a set up at some point.
 
Man, that looks cool. Really well done. I have to say that I like the active orange in the Tremor design. It's subtle, but they found a good hue that isn't obnoxious/blaring, but still pops. Maybe just me.

I’m with you…I kinda like the little bit of orange.

Just imagine if it was the weird lime green that’s on the F150 STX.
 
Added the Awesome Upfitter Wire Harness from CBlightingdesigns. Thanks Cblaxx19 for what you do- Now hurry up and get some more of those Grill Lights made up- I would love to get a video up on that to help promote your products. For those interested, I posted a quick install video on the Ol' Youtubes..... View attachment 41600
Do you have a link to this video can't seem to find it.
 
Received the billet machined pieces of my modular mounts for the modular bumper.

Very pleased with how they turned out. Probably going to paint them the tremor orange for a little pop of color to go with the tow hooks.

Looks great!

Friendly word of advice if you are placing aluminum on steel: Use a thin non-conductive gasket (literally a hand cut piece of thin rubber or plastic etc) in between steel and aluminum or you may suffer galvanic corrosion, especially if you get anywhere near salt water. That whole anode/cathode thing can be a bummer.
 
It's not what I did but what a !@#$%^ deer did. One ran into the passenger side front door last week and I have an appointment with my dealer's collision center next week to have the door replaced. The bottom six inches got pushed in about one inch right at the center of the door. The running board took most of the impact but didn't get damaged. I asked if they would replace the entire door assembly or just the outer skin. The body shop estimator told me that he no longer even tries to do just the skin because when they try to bend the aluminum tabs to lock it in place they almost always break and then the shop has to eat the cost of the skin. Aluminum may not "rust" but it can still be more expensive to repair and especially so to replace. My insurance is being billed $3686.53. I have a $50 deductible for comprehensive. I have no doubt my insurance rate with take a serious jump as well.

On the bright side, ever since the return of cold weather I am no longer having issues with the stupid window bounce-back thing. I swear the sensitivity level is too high and as soon as the outside temp stays above 60°F I am constantly fighting with both front windows bouncing back. I have had them reprogrammed three times by the dealer per TSB SSM 52074 to no avail. The sensitivity level is still too high for warmer weather. I assume that's because the rubber weatherstripping expands and causes additional resistance. Went through the same thing last winter and spring. Once the ambient temp gets to a certain level, even if I get them reprogrammed, within two days I'm right back to the same old bounce-back BS. Total waste of time. Piss-poor engineering.
