Just picked it up today. Got invoice on it and spray in bed liner thrown in. Already picked up a leveling kit, tailgate assist and tuner. Now I just need some time to get started.

What did you get for the tailgate assist? I've got a DeeZee ordered but they are way on backorder so not sure when/if it will ever come.

Unfortunately, the one I originally ordered was for export. They told me it would fit. Just checked it to the truck last week and it won't fit. Fighting with them to get a return and refund even though they agreed. Haven't heard back from them. Preordered on Amazon.

Dealer paid for my LineX. They even got under the rails as the standard spray job.

Update to the optimized throttle body. As expected on the way to work my instant MPG gauge was showing higher than normal on the same route. I'm reaching a higher speed with the same amount of throttle applied. It helping the low end as it's supposed to. I expect to see the mileage increase a bit like it did on my Fusion.

Raptor style grille. From Conn Joe. Easier install than the Thailand one. 4 snap in tabs and 2 bolt down tabs at the top. Took about 45 mins.

Who’s Connecticut Joe?
A guy who sells car accessories on eBay. His name is Joe and he is from Connecticut. There have been a couple different Raptor style grills out there so people are just differentiating.

Auto folding mirrors. Folds closed when you lock the truck. Unfolds when you power up the truck. Regular operation with stock switch. 20 minute install.
The switch bezel pops right off.
Unplug the connector.
Plug the module in between the switch and connector.
Tuck everything inside.
I used an add a tap to #30 for the constant for the red wire.
Connect the blue wire to the thick gray with brown stripe (lock).
Stick the module on the inside of the left side of the dash and tied up all the wiring. Close up fuse panel and you're done.
