Installed the Autostop Eliminator today. I finally got sick and tired of having the engine shut off when i would forget to turn it off. I would remember to turn the Autostop off about 85% of the time. Took about 15 minutes to install as my hands are bigger and I had a hard time removing the harness from the clip. A few cuts and scratches on my hand later, and it works. I know the Autostop Eliminator ran about $85, but it did cause me to quit swearing every time I forgot to shut it off. I figure the fuel the Autostop is supposed to save is not even close to the cost of a new starter due to using it 15, 20 times depending on how one drives.
The Autostop is awesome! One of the best mods I’ve done!

Installed tailgate spoiler from air design, removed Ford mud flaps, installed Lund textured fender flares
I like that spoiler. Curious, did you have to remove the trim that was on the top of the tailgate to install this?

Alright, got some good mods added today. ?

Tinted the front windows, and added a strip on the windshield. (32% VLT LLumar Film)

Added a Draw-Tite 76275 Frame Receiver for towing because the previous owner must not have had a need to tow. ?
Eventually I’ll do the OEM 7 pin connector/harness mod.

Got my Lightforce switch fascia in. I have a Tremor, so I did not need any extra switches, but I did want a place for my Audiocontrol bass knob to go without drilling holes in any of the factory panels. It worked perfectly and I’m really happy with the result. I might use one of the other spots for the Redarc brake controller down the road.

Installed running board lights. Tied in to the cargo light wire so they are only on after unlocking with key fob, opening a door or pushing the cargo light button.

(White wire with green stripe under rear driver side door on the 2021 anyway, for anyone curious. Wasn’t easy information to find.)

Using that circuit is a neat way to go. There's a couple of good threads with pics for tying into that location for adding bed lights, in case anyone is inspired by your post.
