Mounting the fog lights basically took me all day
I also ran the harness into the vicinity of the BCM though I didn’t get the wires connected, but they are close and ready to go

mistakes have for sure been made in trying to get the F150 foglight bezels to match up with the FX4 lower bumper
When trimming I completely forgot I was using Diode Dynamics SS3’s and not the rectangle F150 lights
So could have gotten away with a lot less cutting
Since my SS3’s were part of an F150 kit I didn’t have the generic mounting brackets which might have made using the JJC brackets easier
But whatever, got the housings mounted close enough to what I envisioned
Going to have to figure out some sort of filler piece to bridge the gap from bumper to bezel (there was no way to make the bezel part of the bumper because I wouldn’t have been able to mount it as one piece…. Well without going crazy anyways)
I really dislike working on the ground now that I’m so old, I need a lift for sure

for comparison BAP Lariat vs regular Lariat

Forgot to adjust the headlights!
Felt like I was blinding everyone on the way to work…. Whoops!
Luckily I drive in very early so not a lot of people driving at me
Tonight I’ll get both trucks lights aligned

Went to the dealer to pick up the tailgate spoiler (yay FordPass points)
While I was there I had the service manager look at my scratched dash…. it’s official I’m getting a new dash, which sucks…. But it’s better than living with all scratches (I hope)

Is it possible to wrap a dash without removing?
If so (to me) would be a better option than letting a dealer remove the dash.

Wrap with what?
If they jack it up more it’s on them
My family are good customers of that dealership
They will make it right, I’m just bummed about the hassle in my future
AND the fact I can’t finish my audio install because of the dash swap

Started raining but here it is set in place

Looks good! And also looks like you own one of everything in every color that the plant in Hermosillo makes.

It’s the best color

Was not sure but just looked and it's a thing. Lots of videos and websites that offer it. Glad you have a competent dealer. Not so much in my area.

Forgot I did a new blacked out badge for the front since my old one got jacked up
Much better than the BAP badge in my opinion

I also much prefer the sparkle in my black painted grill bar over the piano black of the BAP grill bar

Truck is looking great! Did you use the nightshade on this badge again? Also how’s the audio coming along?
