    Did a little badge swap today. After taking off the old badges I almost left it naked. I can always take these off too, it was super easy!

    Im my area discount will not take trades. Mine had less than 200 miles, no trade allowed. I sold local but found out to late! They are oem size for F150s and those guys don't know the tires suck, I probably could have got 4 to 5 hundred on the ford classifieds

    I used a heat gun to soften the glue behind the badges very carefully watching how warm things got. I then took some fishing line wrapped around my fingers and with a sawing motion went behind them to take them off. The remaining glue came off easily with my finger. Then sprayed some De-Solv-It on a microfiber to remove any traces of the remaining glue. Used a light compound to remove a little bit of ghosting and followed that with some wax to restore the finish. It was brutally simple.

    Mine was cake. 20 minutes to get it working. Now, tying it up under the dash, patching up my bleeding hands from sharp under-dash metal, making sure the tilt column still tilted and didn’t pinch wires, etc. took a bit longer. :censored:

    I definitely like the update 2020 version, a couple months ago you had to spice into a wire which I didn’t want to do. It seems to work well but I’ve only had it in for 2 days, but my neighbor has had his in for a few years now, his son in-law recommended it because it is plug and play. If you’re buying it for your 18 there are good videos online. Since mine was newest version I had to take my glovebox apart to get to a connector behind it. There are some pic online of taking apart an older model glovebox, but none of a 20, having to do it on my own wasn’t bad just took my time to not break anything. In all it took me about an hour and 45 min from start to finish. The hardest part was fishing a wire through the center console and figuring out where to put the wireless module so you can use the app. If you’re going to upgrade you’ll save more money buying it upfront and you won’t have to take apart everything again cause you will if you choose to upgrade later. Wish you the best of luck if you need any help feel free to reach out.

    You definitely need to make sure the connections are all the way in. My red connector wasn’t all the way in after connecting it back in.

    I greased mine for the first time on my new to me 2012 SR5. Damn tip got stuck on every zirk fitting. Good thing I won't need to do it for a long time.

    If you don’t already know, pull the grease gun all the way to the side and it should pop off. No reason they should be getting stuck

    Thanks. Did you tap your raptor lights into your fuse box? That is what plan on doing. I was waiting till I got my LP4’s or 6’s bajadesigns to put behind my grill.

    used an add a fuse tap and plugged it into fuse box on under steering wheel. You can also run it to the fuse box on driver side fuse box under hood. Doesn’t matter. Super easy

    Yeah thanks about the Pro roof rack. Did not like it especially when you don’t use it. I like the new wheel setup but I have to take it back to the tire shop. Added new tiresbut have a little wheel shake and pulls to the right a little. Might be the tires I went with or the balance on the wheels.

    The bumper is not that hard to remove, but I didn’t need to remove mine to install my raptor lights.. maybe yours is different though?

    I have remove the bumper because of the bajadesigns lights I’m putting behind my grill. I’m just holding off with the raptor lights to do all at once.
