Default New Canadian F150 Owner and User of the Forum

Seeing as how this forum frequently pops up in my Google searches, I figure I'd better register.

I'm a Millwright from Ontario, Canada, and an owner of a 2016 F150 XLT Sport with the 5.0 as of May 2016. My first F150 and not likely my last. Also a computer junkie with way too much time and money into my setup, and a moderator on another completely unrelated forum.

I hope to be able to answer some other user's questions here as well as offer my own. Thanks everyone for the community here!

Truck when new:






Today, with new tires and in desperate need of a bath:

Welcome to the forum from a Canuk from Windsor. I have the same truck in Shadow Black.

I'm just outside of Sarnia myself.

Awesome truck, what bug deflector is that? Tires look good, I was between those and the Wranglers. Opted for the Goodyears instead.

Hey there, thank you FourBitty. The bug deflector is just what the dealer installed but I believe it is made by Lund. The tires are 275-60-20 BFG KO2's. Love the tires however the next set will be larger. Hopefully by that time I will have the knowledge to recalibrate the speedo etc. This is my first truck as well and I am having fun with the mods. When I can afford them LOL.

Right on, I had a similar looking bug deflector installed by the dealer, but ended up getting my money back for it after half the adhesive peeled off while highway driving. I've since been looking for a more robust alternative.

The deflector has been holding up pretty good however, I lost one of the damn rubber bumpers and I cannot find any replacements. Lund does not sell the parts separately. I did find a website that sold something similar however I would have to buy 200 of them. I don't think so. I'll see how long this thing lasts and then maybe change it out.
