Tempting. I have front camera and all that mess to deal with though.
Already looked up the pricy BAP side vents and think I'll do plastidip first.

The rubber wheel needed leather. Found this kit on Amazon. $59. I did buy some waxed lighter gray thread separate ..
few hours later and a few doubtful moments…. Went just fine I think.

Not a fan of the Morimoto tail lights because of the embossed BLISS symbol so decided to put in LED tail light bulbs in my tinted XLT tails. Also threw in LED license plate bulbs so now all exterior lighting is bright white instead of a mix with halogen.

Must be my phone but the badge still looks blue to me.
Looking straight on, it is very hard to see the difference without the blue badges next to it. With the originals next to them, it is very obvious though. I think it is the lack of contrast with everything being black/grey around it.

I now have both front and rear mud flaps on, thanks to my grandson!
The biggie today though was XPEL PRIME XL PLUS nano-ceramic tint on all glass. My big thing was that it had to stay "legal" so it is 35% front side windows, then 70% everywhere else; windshield, moonroofs, rear door windows and back window. Not real sure how to get good pictures of tint! Now I get to wait for the tint to fully dry. Hoping for much cooler summers!

Nice truck OB. I like that color combination.
I’m getting ready to tint my truck all around with Llumar IRX but undecided if I should go with 35 or 50% on fronts…..don’t need anything too dark for my old man eyes. How do you like the 35% on yours? Also I’m guessing that 15% windshield is a typo unless you’ve got x-ray vision!

Looks good. What brand of bulbs did you use?

I went with underground lighting. They are plug and play, no splicing for resistor or anything.
The license plate are just Sylvania LED.
Plug n play sounds perfect. Thank you.

Did the same setup on mine. Did the front turns with the Underground Lighting as well. Can't beat plug and play options

I could never get those numbers correct! I just got it from the installer though. 35% on the front door glass, and 70% everywhere else, including the moonroof. I updated my post as well. Thanks for pointing that out! And to answer your question, I think the 35% will be fine, but I haven't been out at night yet either. Now the technicality is that you have to do a little math to be accurate. So for instance, multiply the stock tint with what you want to add times a 100 to get what the final result will be; (0.50 x 0.80) x 100 =40%. I don't know what the stock tint level is for the King Ranch, so I can't figure it out.

Ordered AMP bed step and Ford OEM rear wheel liners.

Still considering some of the BAP items eventually. Looked at instructions for the black emblems and decided it's more work than I want to do right now. ?
