Today I installed a Front Hellwig sway bar and a pair of new Ford sway bar end links. I never want to do this again. Had to R&R the really heavy RCI skid plate with cat theft deterrent wings to get to the sway bar. That’s really awkward and heavy to R&R.

Well how's she drive ?
I really like the handling now that I have the front and rear Hellwigs, and rear Bilstein 5100's on. Very firmly "planted". The stance feels "wider: - more secure - and very predictable steering feel tossing it into a corner. Granted, I do feel more of the smallish ripples and bumps, but not anything of concern.

Pretty much describes mine also.

Nope - his are brown

Today I relocated my front and center license plate to the driver side bumper pad.

Bought this plate mounting kit. Easily found at local auto parts or on Amazon.

Lined it up on the driver side bumper pad, drilled 4 Pilot holes, removed the pad, made right size holes, mounted base plate with 4 bolts and double nutted them.

popped mount and pad back onto truck and attached plate with frame using theft deterrent screws and caps.

Perfect ! Probly more airflow to the CAC !
Yes - and considering the previous owner cut the shutter connections and they are now only manually adjustable, I can reach in easily to open or close them, as the season dictates. Based on where I live, they will remain open until I trade in the truck.

Today I added a lower grill insert from dv8dz9’s that’s made for an STX but I think it compliments my Special Edition honeycomb grill very nicely.

Before:

After:

The different honeycomb design I think adds to it.

But [emoji2959] found more stuff I like from I did not know…
