I’ll tell him you said so, but believe me, he knows.

I see a tailgate damper in all that. Well done! ?

Oh, indeed. I need that Kool club t-shirt.

@AzScorpion has the in on that. We should petition for caps to sport. Ford tough on the back!

Day 2:
Egg yolk effect from amber filament turn signals: Got to go. Doggo helped put them in.

Blue and chrome Ford badge: Got to go.

Gaping hole in front bumper: Got to go.

Amber side marker lights: Got to go.

Filament bulb puddle lights: Got to go.

This was actually the most annoying install because the clips aren't quite right for the application. I had to grind on them a bit to keep them engaged, so maybe look at a different seller/model if you're wanting to do this.

Egg yolk effect from amber filament bulbs in mirror: Reduced?

The resulting effect:

Tomorrow, I rest. Day four: Line-X

Any more pics of that seat cover from Etsy? How does it fit? You like it?

It fits pretty good. The only nuisance is the fit around the driveshaft tunnel. I'll try to remember to snap some better photos. It was the last thing to go in that day and I was spent.

 

[renewedcaper]

I changed my mind.

Day 3:
Blue and chrome rear emblem: Got to go.

Day 8:
I really wanted to install my V5 Bed Power Adapter from Wolf Haus Off-Road. I had the bright idea I would connect a 16mm latching switch as shown here and some bed lights down-stream from there but I realized about half-way through that the switch I bought was too long and I had almost no chance of reaching up to secure it anyhow. So hopefully @WLFPIR8 is still making good progress on their insert.

So with that defeat, I needed a morale boost. So I applied for my Kool Damper Club T-shirt. You might also notice the Line-X as promised from Day 4.

Doesn't blocking the ACC sensor cause any issues? Curious why you didn't get one with the cutout.

I haven't tried my ACC yet, but several people have posted that is doesn't interfere. I reached out to M2M about the one with the cutout and they too believe that it doesn't interfere so they didn't go to production with that version. Also, I'm not fond of the Putco version so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Ah, I was wondering. I got the Putco with cutout cause I thought it would. Of course that was just an assumption.
