Maybe I missed it, but what happened to your grille?
First of all, never enough stickers. Stickerbomb the world!!!

As for the grille, have a look at this. I have some honeycomb in the basement and plan to do the JCROUCH grill mod with an amber 30" lightbar behind it.

LOL I sticker bomb everything (including myself I guess, if you're counting tattoos), except for daily drivers for some reason.

Sucks on the deer, but the honeycomb will look awesome. A doe ran square into my wife's passenger fender a few months ago and then got dragged down the whole side of the car, every panel on the right side was damaged. There was fur stuck in both right tire beads for weeks.

I've always wanted a tattoo. I have been thinking about getting one in memory of my mom. Just need to pull the trigger. My old lady's mom had a similar situation with her car. She is scared of deer now and bought everyone deer whistles. I don't think they do anything, but I humored her and installed them anyways. I had fur stuck in my bumper for a while.

I didn't pull the trigger on tattoos until I was 35, two years later one arm is completely covered and the other one is on the way. Just one more expensive and addicting hobby; told my wife it was my early-ish midlife crisis.

I've lived in Georgia almost my whole life, I see 5-8 deer every day on my way to work, and I don't think the whistles do a thing, but I do think deer are attracted to brush guards in particular.

Both of my brothers have hit numerous deer in GA. My middle brother has even hit a bear. No lie. Here in PA, seeing 5-8 deer would be a blessing. The other morning, I swear I saw hundreds of deer in a farmers field. They are an absolute menace around here.

Installed a trailer brake controller this afternoon. Going to look at an RV trailer this evening with the old lady.

Was it you that installed an FCIM from an Expy? I think I’d like to do that mod next.

I was fixing to ask the same thing. How many extra non-functioning buttons are there? Just the rear zone button and the heated steering wheel button if you don't have that option? I was driving my wife's exploder the other day and found myself wondering if the expedition shifter would drop into our trucks as well (though it looks like the expeditions have the 4wd shifter on the center console as well).

I did, but I wasn't the first. I followed this thread. I have one final quirk I am trying to figure out where to program. When I remote start the truck, there are no dash lights. When I open the door, everything but the HVAC controls illuminates until I fully start the truck. It is driving my OCD nuts. But everything else works. I had to do some programming in the FCIM and the APIM, but I haven't been able to find that last bit I need to change. I love having the dash button for the heated steering wheel and the temp display on the adjustment *****.

I'm not a big fan of the dial shifter, so I can't help you there, but yes. The only non-functioning button is the rear AC. I actually get a popup when I press it, but it obviously controls nothing.
