Looks great, I'm really digging the Rough Country lights too. Very sharp, how do they perform?Mine was from a suggestion by Tony @tm1506, and I purchased it through Lone Star Conversions in Sherman, TX and they installed it and my Rough Country off road lights.
Couldn't be happier with the way that it changed the appearance of the truck.
Thank you! The Rough Country lights perform great, although they are only used when I am off road, the two that are in the front bumper the guys at Lone Star Conversions had to make custom brackets for because there isn't any available.
These are the only lights with custom brackets I could find. No drill install.
Those look wicked !
As a side note, check your radiators folks. Man, I noticed a bunch of debris in mine when I replaced the grille. Used my air compressor to blow it out from the fan side. You don't notice it with the top shroud in place.Today my 2021 STX became a Raptor. I was worried because I ruined the plastic plugs that hold the top shroud in place. Then realized @LevittownFordParts.com was kind enough to include replacments in the box. (They knew I didn't know how to properly remove them)
Got to watch the pressure with an air hose, water hose is probably safer, that is what I use.
I think I saw those for about $125. Do you like it? My '04 Lariat F250 had one and it was great. I'm thinking it would be a good back up when I'm in the woods or for the wife when we are out and she doesn't have her key on her. Did you install or have the dealer do it and program it?I replaced the battery in my remote keypad. It came apart with out breaking anything.
Because I have remote start with the keyfob, the dealer has to program it. It was $90 when I had it done in 2019. Yes it is totally worth it.

Its not a great picture but a friend and I spent time clearancing the lower fender area to clear the 35s. With the +30 wheels and the 35x12.5x17, I was rubbing on the frame at full lock (the last 2% of the wheel turn) and the OME BP-51 external reservoir. I knew I would need spacers, it was down to 8mm slip on spacers with extended studs and lugs or 1" bolt on spacers. We were doing testing yesterday and realized that we would need to clearance the fender either way so... I used the 1" spacers I already had so I didn't have to spend any more money. I forgot to take pictures when I had the wheel arch off but we cut ~1" of metal and plastic, but the attachments are all still solid.
I put the inner fender liner back in and I rub *ever so slightly* on it, when the wheel is at like 15% turn. I will either secure it back or just start trimming the fender liner. I'm not overly concerned because its soft and will wear through, if I do nothing. We were able to flex the truck out and I shouldn't rub at all (minus the fender liner) when offroad.
One of my next projects is to build high clearance inner fenders out of 1/16" or 1/8" aluminum. Once I do that, the whole transition to 35s will be complete.
I don't have the remote start with the fob on my XLT. Sometimes it's best to just let the dealer install certain things and they get to handle any problems rather than me botching it and paying twice!!
I wouldn't think programming would be horrible except it's an add on and not hardwired in like my Super Duty was.

Where's the full Monty faux toes showing off the 35s?!
Badass looking rig, man. I've been busy but I'm checking in again now.
You're slacking. These have all been posted around here before.
