Discount Tire put these "new to me" wheels and tires on. These were on Facebook Marketplace that I got a really good deal on (apparently the tires only have 6k on them). Drove 3 hours each way to pick them up this weekend. Came with new TPMS sensors...but the truck is not recognizing them yet. Will give it another day or two to see if they are picked up, otherwise will run through the few processes that others on this forum have gone through.

Huge difference in looks.
Well done!

A while back, @subquark inspired me to clean my key fob and it made a big difference in its appearance. However, the chips, and knicks, and scuffs were getting to me.

Today, I decided to do as others here have done and I swapped the key blade and board over to a new key fob I bought on Amazon for $20.

Super easy task and the new one seems a little less prone to accidentally activating the panic alarm - it even has two raised dots so you can distIngush it from the lock button. ?

Holy cow! I had no idea you could swap out the case. And what the heck happened to your old one? Must have fallen off while you were redoing that balcony followed by old lumbrr falling on it.

Or maybe it fell into your frozen margarita machine!

How's the quality of that new case?

Andale, andale, yeehaw!

Dropped, tossed, kicked, stepped on, thrown into tool bags, jammed into pockets full of screws, closed in the tailgate - you name it, they’ve been through it. Changing it out was an easy fix. In retirement, I expect I’ll be easier on this one. ?

Now if I could just keep from dropping my iPhone. ?

Did you drop the fob into a coffee grinder? :LOL:

Umm that goes against the design of the iPhone entirely… it’s called sleek, but it’s pronounced slick, meaning it’ll slide right the heck out of your pocket, hand, vice, anti gravitational never fall phone protection device… the phone will drop it demands it?

I put a ignition bezel I got off amazon for $6

Fits snuggly in place and it glows in the dark oooooooooo aaaahhhhhhh?

Ran through the TPMS relearn procedures (Ford tire pressure tool...and letting air out). Neither of them worked. Wondering if I should take the sensors out of my old wheels or purchase a set from TPMS.com (ordered a sensor from them for my spare to do a 5 tire rotation....truck picked it up and didn't have any issues even after doing 5 rotations).
