Agreed.

Finally got my new tail-light grommit and bulb from Ford and I installed tonight. All lighting is fixed and back to no gaps so I am a happy camper.

As far as that hit man that sucks, sorry to see that. No airbags deployed is anybodies guess, will be up to insurance.

IMO this is fixable, unless there is frame damage that we can't see.
Granted - I am not an appraiser or work in the body repair field.

Would depend if there is substantial structural damage or not. What's crazy from looking at the picture is that it seems to have tore up the exterior panels, but somehow missed the major structural components.

Former law enforcement here, many driving classes under my belt.

evasive wheel snap to the right, was mighty effective….and I agree looks like a missed a lot of important stuff!

These look perfect! Please drop the DIY instructions.

Pretty basic spray paint stuff:

1. clean flares really well with alcohol and scuff with grey scotchbrite pad.

2. Put on 2-3 light coats of adhesion promoter and let dry 10 minutes.

3. Spray 3 coats of high build primer.

4. Sand smooth with the scotchbrite pad.

5. Lay down base coats. Start with a very light dusting before putting on two more heavier coats, waiting 10 minutes between coats. Let dry at least 30 minutes.

6. Activate the 2k clear and shake well. Again lay down a light coat, wait 10 minutes, then lay down 2-3 more heavy coats waiting 5-10 between. Set someplace warm to let cure. Mine were rock hard in about 12 hours.

Sounds simple! Thanks for sharing. The 2K is a good tip. I've spray painted without it before and after a few months, it started to look tarnished.

Good to hear! Do you have any before/after pics?

I installed the missing ambient lights in my cup holds as well as the missing media bin light on my 2022 KR this week. While I was at it I also added the AC temp readouts on the knobs.

Got rid of the Hankooks and installed 275/60r20 KO2's. Waiting to put my Tufskinz tailgate letters on, but the damn temp won't cooperate. It's not going above 60 in the near future.

Meanwhile here in hot country (FL) it's been in the 90s for at least a month...ugh.

Finally upgraded my battery from H6 to H7. I know some folks jumped up two sizes, but it was real snug in the tray, so I just went with the H7. Fits perfectly and seems to have fixed the deep sleep and battery save errors I was getting.

How many CCA does your new battery have?

 

[thebigdu]

Agreed.

Looks gnarly, but I vote fixable. Either way, sorry to see!

Not to hijack, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that my ‘23 Lariat came with the 800 CCA battery.
