    Red Tow Hook

    It looks like the day I did it, just dustier right now! Yes, definitely scuff or sand first to give the paint something to adhere to. I did four to five light coats. The paint is dense and will drip if you apply too much. Be patient, take your time, follow the instructions on it. It worked out...

    Red Tow Hook

    Absolutely not a pro type sprayer. Kustom Canz sells the paint in a spray can and the clear coat as well. Just use it in a well ventilated space. I did mine in my garage stuck into some foam. You don't even need to do the whole hook, as per my pic.

    How To Install side vent accent lighting

    Thank you. I was able to figure this out for 2024. I also figured out the wiring for the running board lights. I'll be making a post when I have a bit, just got it done two days ago.

    How To Install side vent accent lighting

    Wondering if I could ask you for some help here I cannot find the answer to anywhere. I installed the same vent lights you had, wired to the marker lights on a 24. The wire color and location is different. The harness seems to be more towards the passenger side than centered. I was able to get...

    Running board lights wiring support

    Doing the exact same install on a 2024 and cannot get the wiring to work with the harness at the drivers rear door foot panel. Wires are listed as: thin gray with purple/violet stripe for power and thin black with purple/voilet stripe for ground. Can anyone confirm this is correct for the...

    2024 dual valve with husky liner

    You tucked them behind? I elected to trim so that when the suspension travels, it doesn’t come into contact with the connector or any wiring. The edge on that can be sharp, especially when it’s coming down fast and hard, vertical on the edge. A little black enamel paint helped cover the...

    LEDs on Upfitter vs splicing - when on?

    I purchased two kits from f150leds.com, the amber vent and amber running boards. It was a…request…from the lady. I’m debating between following their instructions to splice it into the existing lightning vs tying them into Upfitter 2. I understand that if I splice, whenever I unlock the doors...

    2024 Aux Switch Wire Colors (The Ford Manual No Longer Tells you) Here are the Colors/Switches

    That does look very clean. I’m considering the S1, I like that that flush-mount look but also not a fan of drilling into the bumper. any suggestions on where to mount the pair of S1 that will be a happy medium? Which configuration would you pick if you do it again, for maximum effect dealing...

    Red Tow Hook

    I figured this out on my own it was pretty easy. Remove the skid plate, look towards the back of the hooks for two bolts. Remove the one that is straight through, loosen the one that is a keyslot, slide them out. Paint and clear coat and put back. The plastic trim around the hook concerned me...

    2024 dual valve with husky liner

    The husky liners work great, just need a little trimming for the dual live valve. I ordered them from Husky originally but they did not even finish processing in 10 days much less ship. I canceled the order, ordered from amazon that said 4-6 days, and it arrived literally next day unexpectedly.

    GEN3 Forscan

    I thought when I started reading this, you were going to say you collected them all here in your post! Any change you made note of them all to save us from the same fate?

    2024 dual valve with husky liner

    It’s a clearance issue specifically with the dual live valves on the 24 37PP / R. If yours is the one I see in your profile, it’s a previous year and wouldn’t have the dual live valves.

    2024 Aux Switch Wire Colors (The Ford Manual No Longer Tells you) Here are the Colors/Switches

    This is what I was looking for and should be a sticky! Since getting the 24, I’m every day tailgated on the highway at 82 miles an hour by tiny cars following so close I can only see half the windshield and above. I literally will hold my hand open and pointed towards the rear window and push...

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    I’ll try and get a better shot but I did code orange tuffskins on the cowl and appliqué. Also painted the tow hooks code orange.

    Racking up my body count

    I agree, but I traveled through central Florida, east to west and back, and it was nonstop until I hit 95 south.

    Racking up my body count

    Hundreds of miles of love bugs just after a fresh wash. Sounded like rain drops every few seconds for hours

    Ford "Cargo Management System" installed

    Did you finish your install? I’ve known my parts guy for many years so we ordered the parts and he let me take them to do a test fit before ringing them up. I’ve gotten as far as your pics. The brackets fit just find to the left and right of the cargo box (this part was kind of obvious, since...

    2024 dual valve with husky liner

    I ordered them from Husky and 10 days later they hadn’t shipped. I ordered the same part from Amazon and they arrived in 2 days even though it said 4-6 days. https://a.co/d/3NCXcqR That’s the exact one I ordered. Trimmed the opening about 3.5 inches further to accommodate the dual live valves...

    2024 Raptor Quality issues

    Thanks. I must be doing something wrong. They don’t seem to budge. Maybe I need to loosen more than one going even further back? I’ll check again when I’m back in town.

    2024 Raptor Quality issues

    This is the suggestion I see everywhere but it only adjusts the vertical height of the exhaust. In my case, the passenger side one is lower AND further out (sticking out past the bumper) than the driver side one. I can't find an easy adjustment for that, as the pipe bend seems to be a little off.

    Ford "Cargo Management System" installed

    Good to know! But having owned both, I much prefer the RetraxPro XR to the Roll-N-Lock XT. It still has that pull cord right? And did they finally give it fully-sealed bearings? The smaller canister was certainly nicer, but I didn’t find it rolled as smoothly, which makes sense since it’s...

    2024 Raptor Quality issues

    Definitely some issues with QC. My right tailpipe is an inch lower and two inches further inset than the left. The dash trim has a gap below the vent and an unstitched section next to that. Corroded shock valves. The tailgate appliqué edges are lifting and it has a weird clunking sound...

    2024 Raptor Quality issues

    I mentioned this in an exhaust noise post. I was told to sell my truck, that it's not for me... Then I was told it's normal by a few other people. I'm waiting patiently to see how many people end up having this, and if it is just the nature of the 24 / turbos or if there will be a TSB. To me, it...

    Constant Carplay Issues with my 2023

    I set the favorite button on the screen to Phone List. I tap that and tap the CarPlay icon next to my phone to disable, wait 10 seconds, tap it back on, and it works each time. Might be a little faster.

    Exaust Crackles/backfire

    It’s not the pops. I even mentioned that. I don’t like or dislike the odd noises, I added my comment that mine sometimes sounds like something is slamming around in the bed to see if others heard anything too. I’ve had my experiences with newly updated vehicles that turned out to be TSBs a few...
