How was the install? Do it yourself?

It was fine. I used two sizes of bits to drill the rivets as suggested in the instructions and they were pretty easy. Getting the wheel liner back in place was the most annoying part. You do need a heavy duty rivet tool or pneumatic riveter to replace the rivets though.

After seeing everyone's fancy tailgate letters I had to get a set.

Rough Country Bronco 1” top hat spacers, lifted her up to about where it was new, I leveled and lifted a lot of Fords, this was by far the easiest, just over an hour for both sides.

Added Mud/Rut, Sand and Rock Crawl Mode, Changed my auto blinker to 6 blinks, Set my headlight switch to remember the last setting, and set my Fogs to on with high Beams. So cool.

Can you use a bolt and nut in place of the rivits?

I’ll never understand why people want fogs with high beams, such a high school mod

Try more light on a dark road.
As long as you are not blinding on coming drivers who cares.

On my standard Ranger, I don't think it's possible to get a nut for a b out up there and you there'd be no way to get a wrench on it.(Maybe a Raptor has more room because of the flare.)

You could possibly use Rivnuts instead. The holes the rivets go into on the bed are a little more oblong than the rivet, so you'd need to be careful when you place them that they are the right distance apart. I think you could flex the liner to make them work if they didn't line up perfectly when you put it back, but if the rivnut spacing is off, you'd have to drill the liner a bit.

Was the blinker mod done with Forscan?

Was the blinker mod done with Forscan?

Yes, done with the 2nd menu. simple numeric input. All mods were done with Forscan.

Rolled around on the ground for a couple hours and Surface Shield coated the underside. Doing the full inside and outside the frame rails used pretty much the whole gallon.
