Are these OE flares or just OE style? Interested in where to pick up a set.
“OE style” is how they’re listed on eBay. They’re basically Bushwacker knockoffs. AFAIK Ford doesn’t offer a factory option for the 14gen’s.

I finally got around to installing some upgrades that have arrived over the past couple of weeks.

First off was a BuiltRight release for the drivers side rear seatback. There's really no reason that Ford couldn't install that release in the first place.

Next up was the J&L Oil Catch Can. I had a similar can on a supercharged MINI and was amazed at how much oil residue it caught.

Next up was the top thing on my wish list of upgrades - an OEM leather covered steering wheel. I've put leather covers on my cars for years but this was an easy and inexpensive upgrade. Plus, I didn't have to spend an hour "sewing" the new cover on.

And lastly, this was actually installed a few days ago - a custom 5.0 Coyote decal that I cut. :giggle:

So that's how I spent my time today. The only thing left to do here at this point is black lugnuts, but I just didn't get around to them today.

My Amazon fire extinguisher mount (unsurprisingly) seized up. Went with the Quick Fists I should have gone with in the first place.

How did you cut the spray in bedliner away from the bolts/hardware to mount that panel?

I like the builtright rack! Which size rotopax container is that ? Do you like how well it holds up ?
Just a basic 1 gallon Rotopax. So far no complaints.

So I got my bed sprayed after I bought the truck. The Line-X guys removed all the hardware and after they finished, reinstalled it.

I find that even without ceramic coating my rims stay far cleaner far longer than my wife's explorer.

If you don't mind me asking, do you have the sport rims? I haven't ceramic coated mine because I'm worried it will mess with the matte/satin finish(which I like)
a little late but ceramic coat your wheels! it'll help make this easier to clean for sure!

Happened upon a set of Tremor tail lights for $950, including harnesses, so snatched them up. Nice upgrade on my XLT.
seen you over on Reddit. good to see ya on the forum.

New grille day!

I snagged a black appearance package grille actually! But thanks - I feel like it ties the truck together a bit more.

Although I'm thinking of switching my wheel and tire setup, but the grille will look good regardless ha!

That is a Lariat grille , i believe looks like pained gloss black. Very similar to BAP but not the same .
Either way your truck looks great

if you dont mind where did you pick it up from?
i know someone linked grills from ebay that looked just like the one you got. just curious if it is b/c if so i wanted to know your thoughts.

i think someone said they may be OEM grills painted.

wasnt sure if it was just some chinese made junk haha

the BAP grill would have shown that weird gap at the hood line

I figured just saying it was BAP would be easier than the full explanation...but ya caught me! ?

Here are the details:

Ford Performance has a new full kit for our trucks that you can dealer order. As of now, you cannot separate the kit out, BUT my local dealer had a truck get this package and they did a custom grille with it. We have a good relationship and they know I've been looking for this grille so I was able to snag it.

So it is indeed a Lariat, gloss black painted OEM grill from this Off-Road Black Package that was installed on a truck. So I was able to get the grille only from the complete ordered package. I assume pretty rare to find so I feel grateful.

Side note: This is NOT my local dealer, but here is the package on a truck:
