Agreed I plan on switch placement in the same spot. I ordered 12mm pushbutton on in amber but with the power on symbol. The yellow ring looks really good too.
I started a list on my computer at work. A list of every change, mod, or accessory I did to my truck since I bought it in november 2022. I am up to 50 things either modified, changed, or added. I still have a bunch more to go. Whew it's insane what can be done with these trucks.
I still have...
Ford had "instaclear" windshields in the late 1980s. These were on select ford, lincoln, mercury products. Expensive glass to replace, they had a pinkish purplish cast to them from the outside, and worked great. Old tech.
Real simple solution if you dont like the tailgate lock. Remove the inside panel to the tailgate to get access to the lock/unlock solenoid, and un plug it. Then it will never lock and unlock with the doors. My key fob stays on a climber's D ring with my other keys and attached to my pants belt...

I checked under the dash in my XLT, and the holes to snap the footwell ambient lights in are there just waiting for me to pop them in and wire them up. I am betting the XL has them as well.
Going the other way. I have the center console ambient lighting in my XLT. I found an ebay seller dismantling a wrecked lariat. I bought the brushed silver lariat vents from him, and inquired about the under dash lights. He posted them for $35 for the pair shipped. I bought them. Will wire this...
I just picked up off evilbay the under dash ambient lighting for my XLT. These were removed from a Lariat. I am going to splice these in with the ambient lighting I have in the center console. Seller sent me pix of where they are clipped in under the dash. When they show up, I will extend the...
I hear you about that aviation thing. That's the industry I work in. Structural repair. Parts are expensive as heck. Aircraft are expensive flying liabilities as I call them. Everything you install on one has to have certification. That piece of paper drives the costs waaaay up.
This is why I...
