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

[Cheif2Slo]

Finally installed some Diode Dynamics SS3’s. Thanks @SpaceWhiteF150 for the mount, it worked out great! Went with SDHQ offroad brackets for the ditch lights, those things are sturdy!

brake calipers painted Ford H8 (aka Electric Spice Metallic/Pearl)
Ive been contemplating doing this. Thanks to you, I know how it looks! Is that a high temp paint?

 

[g9Tremor]

Where did you get your H8? A couple others that did this, their paint looked a little lighter in color.

@teamroper60 VHT caliper gloss I used says it’s rated for 900* and is chemical resistant. The VHT engine primer was only rated 500*. The actual H8 is just automotive paint.

Installed my winch and swarfworks winch mount. Switched out the tow hooks while I was doing it. Also installed side vent lights. Passenger side doesn’t work, but getting a new one sent from. F150 LEDS.View attachment 44208

Don't drive forward! Nice setup.

Please tell me that you’re being sarcastic.

Yes I am. We dont have those in ID.

S&B cold air intake, Cobb coolant tank cover, and adjusted the fog lights to not point down 8 inches from the bumper.

What do you notice with performance with the cold air intake?

 

[MASH]

So far I've added amber vent lights, a bullet antenna, Line-x spray in bed liner, Line-x folding bed cover, and Line-x trailer hitch. I have scheduled installation of Rough Country painted fender flares and wheel well liners next week.

Future plans are:
RCI Aluminum Full Skid Plates
Fumoto valve for simplified oil change after skid plate install
Wheel spacers to match the fender flares
RCI Rock sliders
Icon stage 5 suspension (CDEV and IIC is important)
35" tires
Winch (either ARB or Warn)

Last item would be a whipple to get a Tremor R but haven't decided yet. Wish I could get 37s on it but don't want a 6" lift.

New shoes, I went with K03's - stock size.

Ditched the Diaper and picked up the Raptor Transmission Skid Plate.. Much better!

A little repetitive since I posted in a couple other mod-specifc threads but I finished up the Raptor headlight swap and 24-25 Raptor grille swap. I'm thinking about grabbing some of the Luna One H8 and outlining the letters on the grille.

What year is your truck? What did all of this cost, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[MASH]

I see it's a 2023 but was wondering about the cost as well.

23. I have a net spend of about $450 after selling my original grille and headlights. The guy I bought the headlights from on ebay always has a few sets listed. I paid $1391 for the headlights, and the grille is a little more of an explanation, but I ended up spending $424. (No one sells the 24-25 grille that fits the 21-23 with the camera mount so I bought 2 grilles - the 24 grille for $349, and a 21-23 grille for $77 that had the camera mount. Then I cut out the camera mount and grafted it onto the 24 grille with permatex and some plastic welding.) The one other thing I did was source the OEM Raptor grille lights and wiring harness for another $180 (but that isn't necessary). I also had to order and modify a couple Starkey headlight harnesses which cost $160. If you want more details PM me and I'm happy to give all the specifics.

Tesa tape is calling you.

Never heard of this before. Just looked it up and have now ordered it. Thank you!

I used the sh!t out of that tape when I modified my Starkey harnesses for my headlight swap. I'm about to build a harness for my fender flares and they will be completely wrapped in that stuff, then some tech flex braided wire loom over top. I did come across some cool wire management ties on Amazon. They are the christmas tree push pins with a zip tie built into them.

Speaking of Tesa tape. Spent most of the morning building and taping the wiring harness for my fender flares. Now just waiting to get them back from the paint shop. While I was doing the Raptor headlight swap I went ahead and tied in a molex 2-pin connector to the Starkey adapter harness to activate the lights in the fender flares when the headlights are on. So, once I get the flares back from the paint shop and run the harness it should be quick plug and play without using t-tap connectors on the factory wiring. Took about 1-1/2 rolls of tape. I'll be adding tech flex braided split loom to the entire harness before I install it.

I want to make this same change. I have a 2025 Tremor 402a with 3.5 L Ecoboost. Does anyone know if this same tranny skid plate of the Raptor is a direct bolt-on for a 2025? (I'm betting it is but seeking confirmation). Thanks!
