Ground

I did similar, same logic, easier to change the outfitter config if I wanted, but I used MUYI who makes a single connector and ran the ground separate. less connections, less fail points.

Very nice. Both methods work. You must be grounding your lights to individual locations? If I ever have to troubleshoot, all of my grounds and hot wiring is clustered together in parallel.

Excellent! Single connectors for the positive wires - nice. How did you do the grounds? I've been wondering if there's a nice, weatherproof ground bus solution out there.

Each set of wires is in their own loom, loom ends after battery heading to upfitter power. All my grounds go to the same grounding stud on the inside fender.

Clean install on the wiring. Truck is coming out great!

Locking Wheel Nuts

A simple upgrade. I installed the Gorilla Automotive 96644BDX locking wheel nuts. Annodized black, and they come in a 24 pack. I think they look great on the factory beadlock rims.

I think someone else on the forum beat me to it, but yes you can program the 2018 Raptor FOB to a 2017 Truck. It’s super simple and easy to do yourself. I purchased the OEM fob and key on Ebay.
