Just installed the tailgate damper an hour ago. Works great! Got it at the ford dealer I bot truck at.

That Bead Maker is the schitt! Works awesome! Just bot another gallon, used a lot on my F250 before it turned into a Ranger.

Agree!
Thanks for feedback.
Surprised how long it lasts even after a few rains. Tailgate shock almost as good. Small cool item.

Installed my lower grill guard.
install not that bad, just have to work at pulling lower part off, then remove and attach all the clips. The work is getting the prongs on the clips straightened out. You must put clips back on lower piece. This makes for a very easy install.

Negatives
Rest of grill is 3D while lower new grill is 2D. Flat. 3D would have been perfect but 2D gets the job done. Make sure you push down to curved piece before you slide and stick tape.

Positives.
Strong - will protect even if a bird hits it.
less damage to exposed AC coils.
completes the look.
Easy install. Cost good.
A must do project till someone does a 3D.

From - Putco.
Sold through Stage 3 Motorsports.

First nice afternoon in a while so installed my front fender side grills.
A nice project. Used the rewards points from my truck purchase to get through dealer. Many pictures.

Easy to remove with good tools. The metal one is best. 4140 air craft panel tool. Tough and precise. Smooth finish. Used two tools to get under back edge. Little leverage and tape pops loose. Rubber fender badge surface means it is not stuck as hard. OE badge does technically vent. Has a very small drain hole at bottom.
Little air however.

New vent likely does vent. But most comes from area under cowl as hole is located here. Some might come from engine front behind lights. Some light seen here with hood open.

Left matte black, as it matches mirror covers, B and C pillars are matte and truck has black tinted windows. Ceramic coated them before install. Taped off to protect from paint. Used high temp matte black. Dry fit and marked edges with tape. Start red strips off and position. Light hold while you remove red pieces.
