Very true except for us OCD people.

Good point. I'm sure mine are off, but I blanked it out of my mind.

Lol. Unfortunately, I can't unsee what I just saw. Luckily I will be replacing with BAP decals in a day or so. They will be the same on both sides. ?

I can hear you unzipping the laser level from its case, in Florida..

My 2024 decals were not the same either. 2.5375" and 2" from the taillight and 5 and 5.5375 from the top of the bed.

You guys need a support group. ?

Also, it seems that the Ford assembly crew is a bit tired.

No support group necessary. I took some medication in the form of removing the stickers and adding KING RANCH letters. LOL

Oh wow. The N, R, and H have a 0.000683074 difference between them. I'd burn it, for safety. ????

 

[mwf5888]

Nope, I paid attention and used a blue tape template exactly 2" from the top of the bed and 2" from the taillight with 1" between the letters, and 2" between the KING and RANCH. I used a level ? and a square ? to place all the letters.

@Eskram I allowed for a 0.03125 (1/32) variance which is better than Ford's 0.5625 (9/16) variance ?.

The discrete individual letters look nice, but they're a pain in the ass when it comes to wash and wax time.

@HammaMan I install them before the Line-X dealer applies the Onyx Ceramic to the entire exterior so only wash 4 - 5 times a year. Usually, I use a wet microfiber and then dry it with another. A few times a year I use a small interior brush for any trapped debris. It can even go through the car wash.

I have had the letters on my last four F150s plus my current 2024.

My 2021 letters still look great.

These are Ford OEM BAP stickers. I purchased from Fairway Ford.

Do the "wet method" when you install them, get them where you want them to be, then squeegee them dry.

how do you do this?
