Ah OK cool. I'll have to try it when it gets warmer out. I really hope mine are 2 piece now.. I have looked at buying the appearance package ones but for the money I can't be bothered. Better things I can buy than emblems!

No doubt. They're crazy proud of those things to be asking that much for emblems! Another option is to get some vinyl overlays for the letters. That looks good too if yours are just the 1 piece ones.

So I recently saw a thread of paint matched front and rear emblems. Apparently the 13-14s have the 3D badges that you can take apart with a little work, so I think I'll be tackling that in the near future to get rid of the vinyl overlays.

Had another issue with the retrofit this past weekend. After a 200 mile trip, I got on some back roads and tried to turn the high beams on....everything turned off Called TRS and they're sending a new motocontrol box. Should get it tomorrow, so hopefully that fixes it.

Got my high beams working again. I swapped the new motocontrol box in but had the same result until I took every connection back apart and found the issue. Apparently, when I had the ballast issue, when I disconnected and reconnected everything, the pins on the harness to the main headlight plug all bent just enough to slide into the lower slots instead of the upper slots. Straightened them back out to align properly and everything worked.

It stayed in this form for probably almost 2 years. Then I added the AMP Research steps bc there was a rebate, and I got tired of listening to people whining trying to get in. I do love them though haha.


Then I added the Raptor-style grille LEDs from Starkey Industries:


Also added the OEM Ford wheel well liners sometime after the lift. Much cleaner look (no pics bc everyone knows what they look like)
I know you already replaced these, but I really like the look of those lights on that light bar. Do you happen to know the brand of that bar? Haven't seen many like it, but it's very simple & classy looking.

Thanks man! I'm just glad I finally figured out what the problem was. It was driving me nuts haha

Yeah I liked the look of the bar as well, but since I was swapping away from anything halogen to HID or LED, it had to go. It was the Nfab bar. Part number F094LB.

Cool picture after a long day of getting some stand sets hung and prepped.


Haven't done anything else lately. In fact, only driven it twice since Memorial Day

Sweet build UARandy3 I've been contemplating lifts and what size to go with for awhile now but yours seems to look perfect! Just ordered custom tunes from MPT so il have to wait a little while before the lift and just for fun here's my little foot
