In Oct., 2020, had my windows tinted at the Ford Dealer using Ford Pass Rewards to pay for it. 20% tint all around including the 5" strip on the top of the front windshield. This is an ideal % because people can't see in clearly yet you can see clearly outside with a good shading effect. I like the windshield to be clear (except for the 5" strip on the top) for good vision at night and also if there is a fog or rain/snow storm. Besides it is illegal in my state to have any tinting on the front windshield other than the 5" strip. Very professional job...no ripples or distortion.

What rings did you use and what is their rating?
If you are selling the tie downs at $20 each that is half the price of one up here in the north!
I used these D-rings. Put them to work today with ratchet straps moving furniture for my daughter. I know the tie downs are expensive as I looked at buying 2 to replace my missing middle ones. I was kind of joking about selling them but one at $20 I could just about buy 2 sets of the D-rings and replace all of them. Selling the other 3 would pay for bolts and other accessories. I find the D-Rings more useful and easier to get to with he drop in bed liner

Thanks my 2020 LXT came with the standard 4 from the factory and my OCD kicked in...lol When I realized that it was going to cause $100 to buy the parts to put the two other tie downs in, I kind of moved on....:shock:
Thanks for the link.

I getting ready for a similar conversion. It just looks cleaner!
Did you have to get load resistors for the switchbacks? Did you run into any complications?
I looking Auxito lows and highs, and JDM Astar yellow for the fogs. I still looking for the rest.
Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Don't need resisters for front turn signals just turn hyper blink off in Forscan.

Well, I guess I've found an excuse to start looking into Forscan.
Thanks,

Amazing what rims/tires can do to change a vehicle completely.
Agreed. To say nothing of the improvement in handling without the gummy bear sidewalls of the 16s.

Probably wheels but definitely getting BF Goodrich AT's. Hard part is convincing myself to wait till I wear out my current tires.only have 1500 miles on them.
Placed my stock tires on Facebook Market Place and sold for $400...Pull the trigger on those BFG's you'll love yourself for it! :like:
