Please tell me about the hardware that secures your fairlead! I want something for securing a hook when I run one (right now I'm running a shackle attachment).

Today I had some new rubber installed.

Ran into a pack of wild nails and bolts that were crossing the road on my way home which killed the 265/70r17 Goodyear Duratracs for which I didn’t have replacement certs for. Ouch. At 38k they still had plenty of life left but weren’t patchable. Soooo this morning I went to Discount Tire where they threw on meaty BFG KO2 LT285/70r17s. First off I love the look with the lettering out but will absolutely need to trim the crash bars a little bit, even with 2.5” level and +25 offset.

Happy with them so far but man do they feel heavy compared to the Goodyears. Expecting a hit to MPG but I knew that going in lol

Ouch, sorry to hear about your previous tires. Glad to see you got some new ones though, they look great (even if your wallet might have suffered)

Hood struts came today! :clap: So much for installing them Saturday morning. Hey! Who said you have to eat on your lunch break?!?!? It was my "hood strut break" today. :rockon:

And as a bonus, the console tray that I'd almost forgotten about arrived at the same time!!!!! Gotta say, love the struts but man oh man am I loving that tray. Did NOT like just having a big hole for the console storage. Tray makes it 10K times better.

Now if I can just drive my truck! Hasn't moved since Monday evening. Luckily I've got bunches of errands to run tomorrow. :party:

Thank you! And yeah tires are wayyy more expensive now than the last few times I bought them. But this time I made sure to pay extra for replacement certificates:LOL:

I have the same tray except with red trim to go with the Tremor theme. Not including it is another spot where Ford dropped the ball.

Owned this since december and keeping modifying it, added the winch tray & winch, just put new wheels and tires on the other day and removed the plastic bed liner. Put a bed mat down as well as a tailgate rug and added 2 swing cases. Was going to Rhino line the bed but seeing how good of shape the bed walls are in & I have a tonneau cover i'm thinking of just leaving it alone. Readylift intrusion bars are this weekend and the Torch 2.5" leveling kit is going on when it warms up. Currently playing around with a couple different % Star tunes and they have really woken this thing up.

Must really be a heavy winch, she looks like she's taking a nose-dive!

Battery replacement...

Took it in this morning to Quick Lane (pics below) for a battery test because I've been getting a pop up (shown below) on and off for the last two weeks. Both tests failed and battery replaced under factory warranty. My cost would have been $223.95 without warranty... :whew:

Service dept. said the original battery would have crashed real soon. After the replacement, FordPass locked me out with the message...."YOUR VEHICLE IS IN A DEEP SLEEP MODE"...
Service dept. said to call Ford to clear it and it was just a matter of uninstalling and reinstalling the App.
