What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

[Sig Fanboy]

I’m pretty interested in this and want to run 4x LP6’s, what are you planning on running?

For now I’ve ordered an economical( ok… it’s cheap) Rough Country 40 in light bar. Mainly wanting to see how badly the front camera is affected. I don’t think it would be as bad with a light bar versus 6in round. If Rigid has a light bar with amber back light, might go that way.I love the linked KC lights( Pro 6 maybe) but thinking I may get those for my Gen 2 with the ADD bumper,if not those then probably the LP6s , two amber, two white. I’m prone to changing my mind… after I already bought something… so not jumping right into expensive lights. The Gen 3 is the wife’s truck and she prefers a light bar over big round lights. But ultimately I just want to see how a 40in light looks on it first.

Love force usa' stuff, i got the g9 and compact leg press....definitely nice for the home gym

That’s good to hear. Only issue thus far is they were supposed to be here between 10-2 to build it. That changed to 3-6. Now they say they will be here at 8:30. I’m Not holding my breath. We can probably build it but I figured for $329 I’d let them do it.

My ranting aside, I want to say the Foutz light bar mount for the factory bumper is a quality piece and really quite a bargain given ADD asks $800 for the light bar that goes onto their bumpers.
The welds and powder coating is great and the fitment is just perfect after trimming the rubber gasket/ seal thing on top of the bumper.

It is a great price given the simple function of not drilling into the bumper which seemed to be the only option since the new gen3. I was sitting on some new LP4's and was waiting on Foutz or SPV to create their light mounts. Once the pics and pricing came out, Foutz won the battle due to simply better design/materials and better price. My luck in somehow hitting the foundation of my drive-thru and messing up the stock bumper so I sold it and got an aftermarket SVC

Installed a 40in curved light bar on the FMI light mount. Pretty much obscures the front camera view.
The length and location of the aux switch wires is just shameful on Fords part, what a PITA.
I simply can not remove those plastic retainer push pins over the radiator shroud without losing one of them, good thing I bought an index of them.
Guess I’ll wait for darkness to aim the light bar.

Sometimes this thread area shows up for me, and sometimes not. Not sure what's going on with it. I'll quote myself over here, as I installed some goodies yesterday:

I finally got the orangey parts back from the powder coating shop. The first run didn't go so well, and I had them redo everything. In hindsight, I'd probably order the orange option direct from SwarfWorks and call it a day. However, having both powder-coated in Superchrome underneath and Prismatic Tropic Orange on top, followed by a clear cerakote... it's close enough.

The Foutz Full-Length Aluminum Shock Guards are awesome, and a welcome addition to the factory guards behind them. Note that there are replacements if you've busted the original OEM guards, and also what I have installed, that go over the OEM shock guards.

I went to Lowes and got rubber washers for everything so I could imagine that the paint wouldn't rub off being metal on metal. Yeah, I'm that kind of guy. Time will tell.

Other than that, nothing new to report for now. Have a few things in the pipeline that may or may not materialize, more to follow.

The next routine service on the Raptor will have FMI's lower shock skid plates installed, their differential skid plate, and the Ford Performance differential cover. The FP cover has been left alone, the others have been cerakoted with clear. My dealer also pushes Amsoil, so I'll refill the diff with it.

Enjoy.

Have to make sure you are logged in each time. Check the box that says "remember me" or something like that. If you clear your history, cache and cookies a lot like I do, you will have to log back in so all pages show up.

Got the grille back from LineX Friday. I only have the rear appliqué and bumper left.

Installed BuiltRight bulkhead rail system, waiting for the bed side molle panels.
If you have a facotry bedliner sprayed in, use a chisel & hammer to knock off the bedliner material thats filled in on top of the screws. Came off clean and make sure to use a utility knife to cut the edges off.

So far I'm very pleased with the quality of this product, fitment was excellent and everything was well made.

Anyone else have BuiltRight system in the Truck, lets see some pictures.
