Installed some HD tail lights and a Recon third brake light. I've heard lots of complaints about splicing it and how it seals to the truck but no complaints here, took 5-10 mins to install. Putting on my wheels and tires today after the AS level yesterday. I'm pretty disappointed in Auto Spring for not updating there instructions for 2014 f-150s, the strut assembly's are very different then the 2013s. Idk seems like laziness out of them to make me figure out the new way to install.

You are absolutely right I just didn't want to have to drop the lca to get those studs to fit once I had the spacer in. Maybe I'm just a complainer, I just feel like I wasted a lot of time trying to get it to fit using the directions provided when AS should have been the ones to tell me that.

Sorry two replies but I Reread your comment. The 14 is different in the way the strut mounts to the lca. From what I understand the studs on the 14 strut are longer or angled differently. I couldn't fit the strut back on with the spacer in place without dropping the LCA. I have never worked on a 13 or older so maybe I'm wrong but the directions provided definitely did not work for the 14.

Went to the lake this weekend and tested out the 4 wheel drive in some deep sand and mud. I was impressed, handled in uneven and very deep loose sand. I was very happy. I used to own a 6 inch lifted Titan and would have been worried to go through this area, I had someone to pull me out this weekend so I figured I'd try it. She handled it like a champ.

Soundgate kicker soundstage
Installed the kicker soundstage sub and speakers today. The install was pretty straight forward. Didn't have a nut insert tool, that was pretty much the only hiccup. Tried to expand the inserts using other methods. Didn't work so just ended up pushing a bolt through and screwing in a nut from the bottom. System is a great upgrade and can't complain about getting in on the deal from Rogel ford. Very happy with it.

Yeah i had the motos removed and got Trophys instead in 18". The motos look great, but for offroad use they were pretty heavy. I have them on sale, but the little devil inside my head tells me not to sell them and do something unique with them as a summer set up.
