Since getting my truck in September and reengaging with this awesome Forum, I have steadily completed a few projects, mods and accessories on my F150.

Any questions ask away, except for cost. I’m in denial there.

A very different mod list than mine.

Why no go fast(er) mods? (YET?!?)

Why no go fast(er) mods? (YET?!?)

I don't know? I guess my tendencies are more looks vs. speed. I like the performance of my truck as is.

 

Equipment bought:
X Pro Eagle Kratos and 6-ton jacks
X Pressure Washer
Edit X Big rubber wheel chocks

 

How does the sunroof sunshade do in that Texas sun? I am very interested in keeping my 2017 cooler.

 

So far so good. Without yet measuring temps of the retractable shade with / without the shade in place, I do feel that there is less radiant heat felt on my bald head. I know, not at all scientific but we are having record heat now (103* - 105* days) and I’m not feeling as much heat from the roof.
I’m leaving the sun shade in place above the retractable shade 100% of the time now. No point opening the roof to let in the sun.

 

Equipment bought since last update:
X 24” 2-speed garage fan

 

Update on item added:
X locking gas cap, Ford brand - details in this posting: Trying out a Ford Locking Gas cap

 

X RCI cat converter guards

Added RCI catalytic converter guard wings to my transmission skid plate. Details here: Today I installed my RCI skid plates

 

Still to do:
... Fumoto valve (I don’t change my own oil so will have to charm the dealership mechanic next oil change to install this)

Assuming that's an oil drain valve, why do you care if you don't change your own oil?

 

I bought it to help divert oil draining to the open area of the skid plate. I’m certain a mechanic won’t care if oil splatters everywhere and then drip constantly onto my driveway from the plate.
So I want to have the Fumoto oil drain plug installed to minimize the oil onto the plate.

 

Which engine do you have and what Fumoto model number did you get? When I look up for a 3.5L eco, it tells me "we don't sell these for plastic oil pans" [emoji2357]

X Rear shocks - Bilstein 5100’s
Today I installed the rear Bilstein 5100’s.
Ride is “nicer”. Firmer feel on bouncy turns.

 

Replaced black exhaust tip (again)
Hopefully for the last time…

 

Can the tip be seated just a tad deeper?

 

I’ll check - but I think it is up against the inner stop of the tip.

 

Lookn’ sharp!

A tad bit further pushed in.
Thanks Eagle eyed @GearHead_1 !

 

It looks great either way

 

Very nice.

 

X Added frame tube hole plugs visible around rear wheel wells. They press into the frame rail openings, 2 per side. Bought these just to see what they would look like. $20 or so for the set of 4 plugs on Amazon.

 

X Front and rear Ford Dash cams:

 

X Installed my OBDLink MX+ today.
Now I can play!

 

What's gotten into you?

 

Just crying to clear the project backlog - figured I would tackle interior stuff now.
I still have the 360* camera kit ( new front and side mirror cameras) to install too!
