Here’s where I’m at on mods for those still watching this thread.

20” wheels from an STX
Running boards from a Tremor
30% tint on front windows

I’m really pleased with the improvement the wheels made. I want to get paint-to-match door handles and mirror caps. I’m contemplating painting the grille body color. Then I’ll likely be done.

Looks sharp! If you paint the grille and mirrors will you do the bumpers too or keep them black?

I would likely keep them black. My pseudo goal is to get rid of or paint all the cheap looking unpainted matte black plastic pieces. The bumpers are a smooth painted black versus the unpainted textured matte black plastic of the grille, mirror caps, and handles. The mirror caps and handles would get replaced by the paintable smooth surface plastic ones. The grille would still be textured but would be at least be painted.

Now this could all change if people start selling their Lariat and Platinum grilles and light bars!

You’ll need to grab seats from a Raptor as well
I think they have red accents or piping. I almost bought a gently used Raptor steering wheel a couple months ago but couldn’t because of the red stitching and the red band at the 12 o’clock position.

But...you need 1 piece from each model!

He @chrislittle deserves a hotshot transport for having had to wait so long.
I would agree with that.

On a different note, I just signed a 6 month lease of my F-150L Pro with the option to renew for an additional 6 months. It's a little less income than Turo and I lose usage, but it's consistent income and a little peace of mind from someone joyriding or beating it up.

So as of now, I am officially w/o a Lightning. It's quite sad. I needed to take a trip to the dump today to get rid of some furniture...the R1T does NOT cut it.

Through Turo? Or you put a sign out in your yard?
Someone I know who is waiting for their own F-150L invite to order. I’m hoping they like my Pro enough that they keep the truck and let me order from scratch.

McQueen you were a great truck, I truly enjoyed the 3,000 miles I was able to put on you during these last 35 days. But your lack of range and horrible charging network outweigh how you drive. Maybe one day me and a future cousin of yours will reunite, but for the time being I wish you great luck on your next owner.

You find a suitable replacement yet?
