A pair of factory blocks will run you about $50 new, if I remember correctly, if that's the route you want to go. And then obviously whatever a new set of U-bolts runs. Would probably still be cheaper than any aftermarket block you find.

 

Stood on a step-ladder in the box with a telescoping pole to put the Christmas lights on a spruce tree. Last year I could do it with the step-ladder on the ground, but the tree keeps growing. Anybody want to bring their cherry-picker next year?

 

Upgraded the hitch receiver and a new shiny D-Ring. The old ones were starting to look a little tired.

 

Got my mirrors put on. Decided on OEM, and then I'm going to gut them with new signals and a new mirror back.

 

Whoa, which tails are those? Link?

 

Next year just move the step ladder to the top of the cab.

 

I know you were asking ManMountainDean but I saw these on a couple guys' rigs over in the member builds, @stefancole was the first I actually saw on the truck.

Does it look like two of these will fit side-by-side if the OEM one is not there?

 

Yes

 

I added Diode Dynamics LED license plate lights. I went with the lowest power (24 lumens) model they had, and it gives a nice, clean light, without being too overpowering. Did not wash out the backup camera. I will say, the oem bulbs were almost impossible to get out of the socket. I had to use a pocket knife to start work them loose, and broke the second one. There wasn't any corrosion, just a really tight fit. The new ones went in very easy.





On another related note, I saw a video of the 2021 F150, and guess what - they now have the recessed license plate lights, like the super duty conversions we see on this forum. Curious to find out if it is the same light bezel as the 250's or a new part, and if new, if it would be a retrofit without cutting for the older F150s.
