Hey hey,

Just picked up my baby about a week ago! Going to be doing some fun things here and there but for now just some upgrades DIY and also mechanical.

From Dealership:
2021 Ford Lariat in Cactus Grey
500A Package
Trailer Tow Package
Spray in Liner

Purchased aftermarket:
RC 2.5" Level
Ford Soft Tri-fold Tonneau Cover
Ford Heavy Duty Mud Flaps
Ford OEM Raptor Grill with Lighting
Ceramic Coating
Fast HD Menace Satin Gunmetal with Black with +15 Offset
BFG AT KO2 265/70/17 - Black Lettering
Plastidip on Side Grills with Ranger/Lariat removed for drawn in lettering.
Self Painted Tailgate Emblem with Magnetic Flaked Paint / Matte Black
Front Windows Tinted to match rear and Front Strip /// Going in Wednesday

To do list:
*Roush Cold Air Intake Kit
*Roush Cat Back Dual Tip Diamond Exhaust
*Ranger Raptor Grill Vinyl lettering to match Cactus Grey (Might have to do this myself... going to be a HUGE pain)
*Ranger Lettering Sticker on Rear Box /// On Order

Any chance you can point me towards the video for the tailgate handle? That's beautiful.

if not I'm sure I'll find out myself. :)

Thanks. I had all the paint match work done at OEM Auto Art. I didn't even think about the handle until they suggested it. They have an online presence but happen to be near me. If you call them they can order the part, paint it, and ship it to you. You'd be the second Cactus Gray truck after I was the Guinee pig :like:

Except I stuck with Ford performance level and all to keep the warranty
Smart! Keeping warranty is key. :D Not sure how it is in America, but with Canadian warranty as long as a Ford trained Technician is installing aftermarket parts that are approved from Ford it still guarantee's warranty.

Lookin' good. My only suggestion would be to remove the free dealer advertisement.

Did you see his occupation? Likely the dealer he works for, so probably not the best move.....

Since he works there, I guess he should keep it but if he doesn’t move his Tim’s, he’ll be making another run to the drive-thru.
