How Long Can/Will Your Gen1 Last?

It could be done if you used a Conex box....I told my wife that I'm to be strapped in the drivers seat and they need to wire up a middle finger too. Then plop the whole box in the ground and pour some trucks of concreted over the top to keep out tomb robbers.

She can put all my guns and fishing poles in there too LOL

Raptor sure would be a better choice..way more room for them to position me in the bed.

Only if you're under 5-1/2 feet. Otherwise they'll have to break your legs first. lol

Luckily you can get that red ring replacement from built right, just replaced mine and it was stupid easy. I think I will order another one just to have for the inevitable replacement.

Thanks for the tip! Just ordered one.

Just got pricing back on this......



Think I will have them fill in the "L" with the same blue and ship a set out. I'm being buried in this truck, so no expense is too great.

Are you getting yours from Billetbadges? They made mine & shipped 'em unpainted. I decided to go with red for Boss and L, and black on the 6.2 to give it some contrast.

Yep...my truck is blue flame color. Thinking that the blue would look good! I’ve got 59 days to think on it and make sure I’m right about what I want.

How did you install yours?

You could always just have it shipped unpainted like I did, and paint it yourself - it's not that hard. Easy to redo if you don't like it. I would suggest going with a color that provides good contrast to your truck color so it stands out, but that's just my preference.

I used a plastic trim tool to get my old ones off and then some Goo-gone & alcohol to get rid of the residue. Next time I remove a badge I think I'll try the fishing line trick. It looks easier.

I'm still trying to wear out a 1961 F250 4x4, 5 digit odo has gone around 3 times, a 1999 7.3 350 4x4 at 370K miles, and a 2014 Gen 1 with 27k miles. Just can't bring myself to ever get rid of a Ford...
