  1. Need Help with Deer guard front bumper design

    I'm still thinking this through to see if everything will still work. I do believe it would be better to buy the bumper mounts from someone and modify from there instead of trying to invent that which may involve buying the whole thing or just a bull bar.
  2. Need Help with Deer guard front bumper design

    I looked at a few pages of that thread. Looks like it said something about changing the daytime running lights to run at night at 10% and I'm not sure about the matrix. I bot a dongle for a Prius and downloaded the Toyota factory version of their service department software. However the...
  3. Rhino liner & bed drain questions

    OK. Thanks. I just assumed that the rhino lining would fill that all in and make it water tite.
  4. Anti theft - ramble - discussion / suggestions?

    I found it on Amazon. Apparently they are the 433 mhz ones that go with a little older f250 and there is a review that says it works for the lightning. Saw a cheaper option but I'm not going to test it out. 2 questions: 1. Does the frunk opening button get replaced with remote start and if...
  5. Rhino liner & bed drain questions

    Here is what I learned about torque to yield bolts which I don't entirely understand in relation to some bed bolts and particularly to a brand new pickup that hasn't had a lot of stresses applied to the bed from hauling heavy loads or driving lots of miles. Apparently they are designed to...
  6. Anti theft - ramble - discussion / suggestions?

    OK. I don't want to end up at a Chiefs, Royals, or KU game and end up missing something although the way the Chiefs are playing I probably won't be buying any game tickets this year. We travel enough I don't need to wake up at a motel to a surprise theft. I have a handicapped placard but...
  7. Anti theft - ramble - discussion / suggestions?

    For K6CCC. How do you turn off the beeper on the apple car tag? Just wondering what that does but I assume it doesn't tell them the beeper is in there. I have one stuck inside the dash of my new tractor at the farm. Guess I need some for the vehicles. I put that one in about 3 years ago and...
  8. Rhino liner & bed drain questions

    Hello guys. Still planning on getting a Rhino liner sprayed in as soon as I get my tail gate security mods done. I have a few questions after talking to the guy in Wichita that does the spraying. 1. Should I drill a couple drain holes up front in the bed either before but probably after and...
  9. Need Help with Deer guard front bumper design

    Hello guys. Still working on a design. Now thinking about blue cruise. Apparently it uses cameras mounted up by the mirror looking forward as well as all the other cameras and sensors in the front bumper to work right. So I can't go up to high above the hood and block the mirror camera(s)...
  10. Mudflaps with flair (using paint pen)

    Hello. Got my Ford mud flaps installed with 2 coats of that Overseas acrylic paint brushed on. Will see how long it lasts. I took a pic with one next to the Blue on the lightning logo on the bed. The bed has a deeper blue which may not show too much in the photo so I wouldn’t consider this...
  11. Charging at Ford dealerships

    I was worried getting home one night so I stopped at an area dealer and drove around back to the service bay at midnight. Unplugged an Amazon vehicle and charged for an hour and drove on home. Level 2 only got me about 10 kwh but it gave me piece of mind when I first bot mine. Plugged the...
  12. Tesla Supercharger station availability now appearing in Google Maps + Apple Maps

    I used the Tesla superchargers on a trip from Kansas to San Antonio, Texas. One stop in Oklahoma at night was across from a closed Pizza Hut and the nearest station was a few blocks away which I wasn't walking to in the dark while charging. Some are near a station/convenience store and some...
  13. Repair question -- minor collision

    If this is coming from a dealer then they already have an estimate. Ask them for their estimate and then double it for your discount. Having dealt with some similar deer/coyote/hail damage claims that are on on lesser vehicles, I'd put the repairs at up to 15K or more. The fender, etc...
  14. Need Help with Deer guard front bumper design

    Thanks. Which bulbs did you get? All kinds of options on the market. I hate the purple ones.
  15. Need Help with Deer guard front bumper design

    I don't have to worry about elk so much and it's rare for cattle to get out anymore but I would like to know more about the Hellas. I've thrown good money after bad trying to find driving lights that had any distance to them. Been trying to figure out how to mount a light on the right side of...
  16. Need Help with Deer guard front bumper design

    Thanks. I took a screen shot from the guy who did a video from adding adaptive cruise control to his lightning. This shows the front end with the bumper stripped off. Might be room to create some type of insert into the frame opening above the tow hook. I'll see if I can post the picture.
  17. Need Help with Deer guard front bumper design

    Hello guys. Working on a design for Deer guard on the front bumper of my 2025 lightning flash with front sensors, camera, and adaptive cruise. I was reading Martin's thread about tow hooks on the rear bumper and noticed he looked at the front end from an engineering point of view. I am just...
  18. Mudflaps with flair (using paint pen)

    OK guys. I'm looking for mud flaps for my new one. Decided to buy the Ford ones made specifically for for the Lightning, {not the F150 mud flaps the don't bolt/match up to the fender wells as they are different), the next time I drive by the the stealership. Usually none of those amazon links...
  19. Windy road trip 40MPH Headwinds

    I don't know but I bucked a 40+ mph headwind going north on Tuesday with what should have been plenty of charge at my usual 80 mph interstate speed and barely made it home. Yesterday I went West with similar wind out of the north and I went 10 miles before it dropped off 100% to 99%. Might...
  20. New Guy Sync Screen questions

    I found myself using ABRP on the phone to set up the trip with a double thumbs up for Tesla as the preferred network and the others as a single thumbs up preferred network. Once the tesla charging stations were identified, I used it or sometimes straight from the tesla app, to plug the charging...
