Thanks for the reminder. I had done that years back on our Escape (the mice didn't go all the way in, just used the area in fron of the filter to build their nest...using the filter!).
You reminded me I need to check our current vehicles and do the same.
Here are some pix of the Maiker plate I mentioned in the Amazon link. The plates come with bags, Velcro straps, a tiny (but usable) flashlight.
And, as of yesterday, were $20 off the regular $99 per.
I should have installed the front door piece a little closer to the rear door piece. But once it's on it's on.... It looks better on the passenger side.
You can see the "cap" on the back piece and why it's better to start at the back.
Hard to see the Bushwacker piece and the pinch welds in the...
I read in the Amazon reviews that it's best to install in reverse order from the provided instructions (rear doors first rather than the front doors first).
I throughly endorse that approach. It turned out to be much smarter to line up and affix the rear door pieces first (this way you get the...
1. Hopefully, when they did the spray-in liner they put placeholder bolts in prior to spraying. Otherwise, you're going to have to spend time tapping out the holes. I was lucky in that I knew I was getting a bed extender and put in placeholder bolts myself so I spared myself the pain of having...
According to my Ford dealer parts dept, the Ford one isn't branded Ford. It'll say either AMP Research or Lund. So why pay extra?
Here's the route I went (and am very pleased how it all turned out):

As an aside, I...
I heard that and said, "Huh? What?"
These were among several places/statements in the video that made me think the dudes know less about autos/trucks than I do (and that's a low bar).
I have Goodyear vent shades on our F150 and AVS low profile ones on the Ranger.
A little wind noise, but nothing annoying. I've never had any start to come loose (our toad 06 Escape just had two from a replacement set put on in 2014 only start to detach a few weeks ago!). One of the first...
Posting the following to add to the knowledge base.
I emailed McGard about the (non-bulge) 84658 kit and here's the answer I received:
"Thank you for reaching out with your concerns. McGard has done a physical application check on these vehicles at local dealerships. ...[T]he 84658 for your...
I guess I made a $100 mistake. ?
Thanks for the info. Really appreciate it! Time to correct the error of my ways....
?
EDIT: I figured out what I did wrong now that it has been pointed out to me.... I was looking on the McGard webpage and basically got "bulge" hallucinations after looking at...
Based on both this thread and the McGard application finder I just ordered the complete set of the 64015 (set is PN 84658) lug nuts.
Are people actually using them on the Tremor wheel rims? I ask b/c when I went to put them on today I noted that the cone face is only half the depth of the OEM...
I'm doing the exact same project on my 2023. So here's my experience so far.
Your parts list mirrors mine.
The hitch swap is going to take a full day (the rear sensor package makes one take time to proceed more slowly and intentionally!).
The TBC installation doesn't appear to be too hard to...
