Probably don't want to hear this, but I like your front how it is now. Maybe change the logo to different dark colors. The new grille, ehh... not sure. I did an RTR Grille, cause I have an XLT.

BUT.... You're Lariat Front End looks pretty dang good as it sits now!
That actually is the blacked out Ford logo now. I do like the grille and plan to take it off very carefully and keep it. But I don’t like how much radiator I can see and I don’t like that I can see the raptor lights through the opening. It looks amazing at night but I bought raptor lights for the FP grille too.

Will be all done soon!

First order of business; bling for oil catch can.
Added braided sleeving, swapped to black fittings and black spring clamps.

Just making things more subtle.

Rerouted the lines to reduce rubbing.


I also added random foam chunks to prop this... thing up.
Not sure about if it's a common issue but damn was this setup sagging badly...

Any suggestions to keep this bracket of spaghetti upright and not sagging, I'm open for ideas.

Seriously ford wtf? All this weight on a tiny little plastic clip?... F'ing morons.

Installed the lower grille last night from mountains2metal. High quality and secure in place - looks very nice in-person. Tomorrow I’m planning to install the Ford Performance grille.

You're really living on the edge (of the driveway)!

Now how will people know you opted for the FX4 and just a 4X4? Bedside stickers take away from the aesthetic of the body lines.
Or be like mine and highlight all the odd creases/dents from the factory.

Sadly the thin sheet metal on modern trucks is just pathetic.
Oh yes, I already put in a big dent by "slapping" the pillar behind the rear door. Next time I trip I'll just face plant instead of using my truck to stop the fall.
