What's new

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

Bittersweet that what I did to my Tremor this week was say goodbye.
Congrats.😎

Well, at least you know what to expect when it comes to installing stuff because the same rules will carry over from the TREMOR.

Outside of it not being an R and in my opinion, the Raptor really doesn’t need any expensive mods like a new suspension.

Definitely needs some window tint, an upgraded transmission pan, maybe upgraded fog lights and pod lights if that’s your taste, and possibly a wheel and tire change if you don’t like the OEM setup.

Enjoy your weekend.

Yeah, luckily the windows are already tinted. I just ordered a bed cover and the Auto Start/Stop eliminator.Next 2 things will be a front end level using top hat spacers, and some new wheels, which I already found.
 
Tried to make new fender badges. I deleted the orange fender badges the first week but I couldn't find a design I liked and the Ford badges are a PIA to deal with. So...this is a project I came up with. The "coyote" emblems are from "Print Wood" on Etsy and are a bit spendy but made for outdoor use. the background is ABS. Rather than use the melt/weld process, I bonded these with JB plastic epoxy. the emblems come with an automotive adhesive attached. I don't think I'm done though. I'll be on the hunt for some black chrome rather than the brushed metal these have.

Just finished adding Ford’s OEM brush bar (SKU SL3Z-8307-AA) to my new 2026 Tremor 402A, 5.0 — and figured I’d post because I couldn't find much about it on Reddit or YouTube when I was researching.

A few notes for anyone considering it:

I bought it online from Varsity Ford for $660, which felt like a win since I kept seeing it listed elsewhere for a list price of $800. I was still hesitant, because let’s be honest, paying that much for “a bar that goes on the front of the truck” feels like the kind of decision you make first and justify later.

When it arrived, my first reaction was: this thing is way more substantial than I expected. It is not some flimsy decorative tube. It’s beefy, solid, and actually feels like a real piece of hardware.

Naturally, I looked at the modular bumper and thought:
“Eight bolts. How hard could this be?”

Answer: Much harder than eight bolts.

After downloading the installation instructions, I learned this was not a casual Saturday driveway project, as it came with supporting hardware that is not obvious from the surface. It involved removing the front bumper, disconnecting sensors, and generally venturing into the kind of territory where one wrong move turns into “why is my dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree?”

At that point, I recognized this was beyond my personal skill set and asked the dealer to handle it.

Very glad I did.

Even though this is an accessory you can order with a new truck, dealers are the ones who install them, and apparently, there is a reason for that. It took two people and several hours to get it done. These don't appear to be very common, so very little experience out there yet. They charged me $300 for installation, which honestly seemed more than fair because I know they spent more time on it than they billed me for at an hourly rate. My dealer is awesome.

Bottom line: I think it looks fantastic. It gives the truck a more finished, tougher look without looking cheesy, and it still works with the grille camera, ADAS sensors, BlueCruise, and adaptive cruise. That was a huge deal for me, because I could not find another bull bar/brush guard option that didn’t seem likely to interfere with the truck’s electronics.

That’s really what sold me on this one. It looks unique, seems purpose-built for the Tremor, and helps the truck stand out while still being practical.

So yes, I started this process thinking:
“Why is this stupid bar so expensive?”

And I ended it thinking:
“Okay… I get it now.”

Has anyone else installed one of these yet?

You would think the at least could have put a couple of mounting tabs on it for off road lights. Looks good, but a lot of money for what it is.
 
You are absolutely correct. I love it, but between the cost of the bar itself and the labor, I could have done something else instead.
 
ARB Twin on the SwarfWorks bracket. Awesome fit and finish. Headed to Cape Lookout this week for some camping on the beach so it will get some immediate use! Will probably look at air bags in the future to counteract the squat when towing our boat.

Bought a 2022 F150 Tremor about 2 months ago. Last week I had the ReadyLift 2.5" Level kit installed with UCAs, 5% on the windows, added the bullet antenna and a Bakflip MX4. Next up 35" Wheels and Tires and start adding the accessory lights.

Well, a day or two ago I reinstalled the Decked Drawers- a bit beat up from the accident but still serviceable. Today, I raced the rain to install the winch. I had planned to do a great job with detailed, step-by-step photos, buuuuut that didn't happen, because the rain was coming fast. On the bright side, I didn't need the instructions this time through, but somehow lost one minor trim screw... no idea how or where- everything was just in one area... ah well. But the winch is reinstalled and works fine.

When I get the new suspension in, I will install it indoors so rain won't be a factor, and I will get better images of the process.
 
Some have reached out so thought I would add more pics of the whole system.
I know this post is a bit older but I wanted to ask if there are any brand markings on the Corsa suspension to identify it.
 
Installed a Ranch Hand grill guard after spraying with bed liner. I think it came out pretty good.

Those are pretty damn great. I had one on a 2020 Silverado and it deflected a car that came across the line into my lane of traffic and saved the truck from all but minor damage.

They weigh a lot but they are built to do the job.
