Cool. I promise to play nice with them. My garage ate both my last ones. I need to learn to not be in such a hurry!

Tuna, I have a 2010 fx4. I'm looking for the correct size level kit to make it perfectly level. I don't think I want to go any higher in the back. Looks like you did 2" up front. Is that what you would recommend? On that note it looks like your AAL mod put back the factory rake so you effectively raised your 2" overall with stock rake?

2" leveled my front perfectly. AAL gave 2" lift in the rear, but the rake is a little less than factory.

Nothing big in the near future. I'm painting the Edge Evo pod to match the silver part of the dash as best I can right now. I'll post pics later today.

Last week, just liner

Today

This is the Sem Solve stuff I always mention. Great prep solution
I have a quick question, I blacked out my ford emblem on the tailgate(the oval one), but I noticed on yours the Ford script is still showing through. On mine the oval is just black now and the ford script isn't showing. Did you just sand your emblem and paint it? The only thing I am thinking is that ford changed the emblems a little bit cause mine is an 05. Thanks

What did you use to paint it? It's the same emblem. They have a protective clear film over them (you can see it bubble up on some people's emblem) that I took time to peel off with a razor before painting. When that's off you can literally scrape the blue paint off with your fingernail. Maybe the lettering is more raised when it's removed.

I need to do that to mine. Did it all come off pretty easy? All my badges are off right now, I painted mine matte black and put in red inlays.
