I haven't gotten round to the new lug nuts, between 4w parts and discount tire the Ford ones are shot. Was thinking about the locks far as my tires and rims wiegh around 100lbs each. That and I had to buy another floor jack just to get the tires off the ground. I'm thinking it's easier to steal the whole truck. Dunno, I'll probably put them on as already bought them

No, not yet. I was waiting for the pinstriping tape, just got it today, but it's the wrong thing, plus I've been working in the barn rearranging to make more room,etc. I just might go ahead and return the tape, and forget it, and just have the slats painted.

You have spline nuts too, or just locking lugs like I bought?

Quick question if you don't mind. When I installed my Raptor steering wheel and connected the paddles I wrapped the harness back up with regular vinyl electrical tape. I did really like doing it that way but it's all I had at the time. Today I went shopping on Amazon to look for the cloth tape like Ford uses on the OE harnesses. I came
across this stuff across this stuff
. Have you used any of this type of tape to make any of your custom harnesses?

Thanks!
Mike
