2021 Lariat FX4 Carbonized Grey
Unfortunately ....I screwed up on the thread title...not sure how to edit it...

Picked up a 2021 Lariat FX4 a week and half ago.
I had been looking at Tremors but decided to go with a Lariat FX4 and customize it.

Step 1 - Suspension
- bought a Fox 2.0 tuned suspension as part of the Lariat purchase
- installed the Fox 2.0 with the help of a buddy
- installation was fairly easy if you followed the Ford performance instructions (and loosened the axle nut)

Step 2 - tires
- sticking with the original 18 inch wheels
- after the Fox 2.0 upgrade went with a set of Cooper AT3 XLT in a 265/70/18
- truck as leveled out nicely and I like the stance
- drives nice and comfortable - a little stiffer ride

Step 3 - Smart Cap installation
- after some research decided on a Smart Cap EVO adventure
- stainless steel construction
- ready for roof racks and RTT

Nice work! I received my SmartCap EVO-A last week and haven’t found the motivation to install it on my Magnetic... until now.

I've seen multiple reviews stating they haven't figured out the 3rd brake light yet. What's your experience?

If you have any questions on the assembly or install let me know. Still fresh in my memory. Everything looks easy on YouTube….but it is tricky …Lol…

Yes . The 3rd brake light is still an issue. I thought they had a wiring harness for it…snd the instructions show it. But I did not receive anything. Going to contact their support groups on Monday.

The add on continue….
- this is my initial setup with a new iKamper on the SmartCap EVO.
- after thinking it through I am going to get rid of the Thule racks and make my own T-slot cross pieces (from www.tnutz.com) . This will bring the iKamper down to only and 1 1/2 inches off the roof. A lot more streamlined.
