    ARB Install on BuiltRight Bed Rack with parts list

    Finally got around to installing my ARB from the group buy and this is how I did it. Went with an in bed install in front of the right rear tire well on the small BuiltRight panel. Figured this area would still allow me to slide plywood in the bed. I love over engineering things so I went full...

    Adding Upfitter Switches for $0...

    Well almost zero dollars. I used a few posts and videos from other people, I really appreciate their work to get me started. To install Upfitter Switches after the fact you need a couple things: The upfitter relay box, the switches, appropriate harness for your overhead console and a overhead...

    Fairlead Bracket Removal

    Had some discussion about removing the acorn nuts on the fairlead. Either to replace them due to rust or wanting them blacked out. There is almost no access to the bolt heads on the back. You will also be able to see the winch with center trim piece installed which most factory orders don't have...

    Bent Winch Fairlead Bracket Repair

    This came up in another post and seems to have happened to a few of us. When tightening my winch using the wireless remote with it attached to my tow hook I accidentally tightened it too much. This bent the bracket the fairlead is attached to and was pretty noticeable when looking at the...

    Cheapest place to purchase a winch currently (hint: not at Ford Accessories)

    See below for a better price then Ford Accessories. Just wanted to throw this out there that Ford Accessories is having a sale until 12/31 and despite it saying that the 15% off sale is only good for the first $1000 purchased they honored it for the full value of the winch purchase. The Tremor...

    Ford moving to "Build to Order" sales model

    Thought this article was interesting. Don't think it has been shared yet. Should boost confidence that ford is focusing on orders rather than lot vehicles during the shortages. https://www.thedrive.com/news/41796/ford-would-rather-build-to-order-than-pack-dealer-lots

    Spotted an OG F-150 Tremor

    Started running into this 2014 F-150 Tremor now that is ork in a different section of town. These were a one year of production that introduced the 3.5L V6 Ecoboost Twin Turbo. This one has seen some better days but I get a laugh at the abundance of extra badging and stickers. You can barely...

    Finally seen it all; Miata towing a Mastercraft

    I think the title explains it all. I am now in the market for a Miata since the Tremor is overkill for my towing needs.

    Just pulled into a 76, was in a rush and needed to top off. Wasn't payingting much attention till I got a couple gallons in that it said R95 renewable Diesel and a small sticker said more than 20% bio diesel. I stopped filling and went elsewhere. Thoughts, opinions, condemnations...

I would like to keep a running thread of accurate information sources for those of us who want to get into detailed modifications. Some of the information that would be...

    Ford Maintenance Plans, are they worth it

    I will answer the obvious right away. Buying a maintenance plan really depends on its value to you. Can you do the work yourself or pay a non dealer shop to do it (competently). What is really covered in the plan? How well can you access and advocate for them to provide the service you have paid...

    New issue with center console screen

    When I first purchased my truck I had the issue that a lot of folks had with the backup camera going fuzzy on screen. That issue hasn't surfaced at all since the first few weeks of ownership. But I did find a new problem yesterday. We headed to the lake and like a dummy I parked nose into the...
