Finally a bit of free time today, knocked out a quick trailing arm upgrade. I’ll be dropping the video to my YT this week.

Crushing it with the videos and upgrades. As far as the carbon fiber you have added from EOC, in your opinion if doing the carbon fiber hood vent only, would the hood need to be removed?. I know you removed your because you replaced the hood also but do you suspect an easy install without hood removal if just replacing the vent cowl?

Honestly, I would just remove the hood so you can get access to the vent and avoid leaning over your truck and scratching the fenders. A bit more work but there’s double stick tape on your factory vent and yours going to need to work at it to remove it. Easier to do with the hood off the truck.

This is my opinion - Cover the fenders, you do not need to remove the hood! It's not the easiest removal but only take one person. The hood removal with two or more people for both removal and install might not be worth it. Just cover fenders, etc and work from both sides, you'll be fine

Took my 2024 F150 801a package Raptor to the dealership where i bought it to see if the top plastic portion of the rear bumper was under the bumper to bumper warranty. The center portion just above the license plate is warped. Anyone have this issue? My truck stays parked inside my garage when not in use, so they can't say the sun was the culprit. Bought it end of June of this year and it only has 2k miles.

Traded my '23 Iconic Silver 801a for a '24 Shelter Green a few days ago. I hate the black wheels on the new 801a's so I was able to talk the dealer into swapping the new truck's tires onto my forged wheels and then install them onto the new truck at no cost. I think it looks way better. And I don't like the new 37" wheel option with the fully rounded holes and the extra hole vs my wheels. Need to take some better pics but this is what I've got for now.

I like some of the changes/improvements on the '24s, especially the ability to disable the double horn honk when you get out with the key fob in the truck's settings and the current gear is now displayed on the dash! Now if only there was a way to get that seatbelt status/reminder screen to not appear on the dash when I start the truck. That's annoying to have to keep hitting the "OK" button to get rid of it. It's like Ford feels compelled to add SOME kind of annoyance to these vehicles! WTF. Anyone know how to disable this screen from appearing without Forscan? I can't find anything at all in the settings and Google seems to only have steps to disable the seatbelt chime, not this screen.
