It's literally just a strip of red leather with three stitches in it. Cut the stitches and it comes right off. I bought a piece of red marine vinyl from Joann fabrics and replicated the strip (3 7/8" long 1" wide with the sides folded in to make it 3/4") wrap it around the wheel and re-stitch. 30 minutes and you're done. Will add some more photos when I get to a computer.

Is it a good color match? This one? http://www.joann.com/marine-vinyl--red/3526324.html

Yeah a rack system/concept like that is pictured above....would be destroyed in about 30 seconds the way most of us drive out here in the west/SoCal.

Would look cute on an FX4 however. Lol.

But I'm making an overland truck for taking a ferry to spend a four day weekend on one of the other islands. If/when I get stationed somewhere else, I'll build a truck to fit my needs for that.

I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like. Mine was Bro-gripped into oblivion. That is the one I bought though. They let me buy a 6" wide strip in store and it was like $3. Hopefully the photos help.

Steering wheel looks the same. How did you replace just the strip? I need to replace mine bad and Ford said I'd have to buy a new steering wheel. Any details would be appreciated.

Got mine replaced under warranty.

Joined the "smashed up skid plate club" last weekend on The ROC Poker Run. I was afraid to get out and survey the damage after the impact, but was beyond relieved to find that this was the only damage. It did it's job well!

also looks like you are leaking some fluid on the front drivers side tire?

Just water. Round 2 of the undercarriage cleaning was just before this pic. Thanks for the thread link!

I took inspiration from this and went to joann's and they let me buy the fabric in a 3" by 54" for 1.66 a piece. I bought 3 colors to try the red is a perfect color match to the oem, but I also bought a yellow and a green. I ended up going yellow just to be different. I think I now have to get ahold of raptor custom embroidery and have him make me a center console to match the yellow.

Do you also have yellow accents on your black truck? Cause that would be different and look pretty cool.
