Thank you, Mr. Boon. You are correct. However, all aftermarket parts, with the exception of a few, typically always require some degree of unexpected labor/parts/fab. Some more than others. THis bumper proved to be on the top end of the spectrum. Truth be known, at least for me, is part of the...

Update: I noticed my phone was NOT taking pictures correctly. Turns out the lens on my phone got shattered. Thankfully, they make a very inexpensive replacement glass that can be installed without disassembling the phone. It's on order. Should be here tomorrow. I mention this because you will...

Thank you, Mr. Company! UPDATE: These guys came in today. The quality is outstanding. These lights are as close to AC/Mill spec as I have seen in an aftermarket component. They are surprisingly heavy for their size, however. No biggie, but I will say that with these, and the other...

Just an update when you or someone else has this issue. Here is a screenshot of my phone. As you can see, 'charging' only has 3 choices. None of them are 'preferred times.' Preferred times is now back on the Fordpass app. Weird right? Well it all has to do with this: The setting that...

Something happened where I could not access charging schedule with the Fordpass app. It also has not been logging 'charge logs' since last Friday (Monday now. Only now discovered) It became a real f-ing problem today. I purchased a couple light towers and had to transport them to the jobsite...

Will do. I need to put a shim at the top mount to pull the wings at the corners tighter to the body (about an inch gap. I want a consistent .5") I will take some pics once I get that done and it's not raining. UPDATE ON PROJECT: I just ordered the lights (*note, that while I am sure other...

Pic taken directly after radar Bluecruise test to verify functionality. (All was good) Good: -Build quality and fit and finish are exceptional. -Looks great. -Lightweight (compared to OEM and the stuff you remove.) Bad: -Zero instructions. This was a problem. You can get away with this with...

I'll do a thread about the bumper. ~C

An update. Got it. Installed it. (*PITA) Pic installed after radar sensor test.

It is the sinister bumper. It is aluminum, not steel. Good: -Build quality and fit and finish are exceptional. -Looks great. -Lightweight (compared to OEM and the stuff you remove.) Bad: -Zero instructions. This was a problem. You can get away with this with a normal truck without radar, tons...

I wanted to take a pic with some sunlight but it's been overcast in PDX for the last few. I toI I took one today but it's not much different than the others; in fact it needs a good wash after a wax (white tears on the grill). I'll see what I can do once the sun comes (*if it ever does). ~C

I asked, 'How much would this typically cost someone.' (I get a volume discount.) It would be fairly safe to assume it would set a person back somewhere in the 150$ range. Note: THis was the standard Line-X coating. This shop does not do the Line-X 'Ultra'. Mr. Pressure Washer is your...

Had my buddy at Line-X shoot the grill. I thought the gray plastic looked too much like . . . gray plastic. BTW: I just hosed it off. It looks better dry and in some decent light.

True, however, but depends on how far in front of the grill the rod is. If it's far enough forward, the rod and the grill would each have their own wetted area. Truthfully, if the antenna was located on the bed, in the low-pressure area just behind the cab it would have no effect on CdA...

The CdA of the antenna was isolated to determine its drag alone. And the antennas placement is directly in the airway path making the vehicles overall Fa a non factor to the calc. Now . . . I don't mean to argue. I never graduated HS for that matter (not the sharpest tool or even know what I am...
