Got everything done on Saturday. The mount from @SpaceWhiteF150 fit great, though I don't see how it can be installed on a 3.5 Ecoboost without removing the bumper. Bumper nuts were on so tight I needed access from the top with a breaker bar on the ratchet. Getting to the "inside" nut from below...
I receive my bracket from @SpaceWhiteF150 a while back. Procrastinated my decision on which light setup to go with on it but I finally pulled the trigger and am installing now.
Should have some pics in the next few weeks!
Loaded up on the tow truck this morning after sitting a couple days and yeah, no chance it should have been driven anywhere. Brake pedal to the floor and the e-brake would engage. Sketchy even getting it on and off the tow truck.
Thanks for the education fellas. Will definitely have it towed in. No sense in risking an even bigger repair job.
Time to watch some videos on brake systems now so I'm not as uninformed in the future.
Tarp blew in front of me on the highway today and got wrapped around my front right wheel. Pulled over immediately and found a sheared brake line after pulling the tarp out. Limped the truck home a few miles. All sorts of warnings on the dash, brake pedal mushy of course.
Always left brake work...
Not sure how I missed this. Maybe thought it was Raptor only. Does the grille impede on the light projection much?
My 2023 XLT grille is not as evenly patterned as the ones pictured.
I ordered direct through Auxbeam. I later ordered the engine bay mount for the power unit from you guys though (Order # 38649). In hindsight should have ordered both from you.
Also have the Swarfworks controller mount ordered with you guys awaiting fulfillment (Order #38637).

Does this look like an Auxbeam power panel that has the integral relays?? Here is their C/S reply...I'm not confident in it.
"Just because it's our updated AR-800 version, rest assure that it also have built in relays.
We have informed our sales department to update the...
Gotcha, can you PM pricing and lead time info?
Looks like LP4's won't fit down there (4" ish pocket, they're 5") but I might start with some squadron pro's on either side of the license plate bracket and go from there. Can always do the license plate relocation bracket and go with more.
After mocking up an attachment of the OnX6 with the Sherpa brackets I'm going to revise my plan. For one, the depth of the light means it will sit out further from the grille than I anticipated. Not nearly as "slim" as the bars posted above. Second, I don't really trust mounting a $1200 bar to a...
Yeah bar would be out in front of the grille.
I've mulled over that lower pod light setup, I just can't get over how much I hate the offset license plate holder. Thought about tucking two LP4's on each side of it but don't think there's enough room.
Maybe these brackets through to barstock? Two fasteners each seems nicer than one.

Anyone had luck with a mounting solution for an OnX6 bar to the grille? I'm hoping to imitate @dre276 's mount in the thread below, but can't figure out if there's a mounting bracket that attaches to the OnX6 that would allow for a through bolt install to a vertical surface...
Are there any gasket kits out there that will help seal up the tailgate to limit dust intrusion?
I have a canopy and the bed gets absolutely coated in dust from a 10 minute forest road ride. I could shove a sharpie through some of the gaps I'm seeing.
