It's time for another FordTremor.com Contest! We’ve seen countless great builds, clever upgrades, and creative DIY projects from our members. Now we’re searching for one that rises above the rest: The Most Interesting Mod on the Tremor Forum!

Your entry doesn’t have to be the biggest, most expensive, or most extreme modification. It just needs to be interesting! Maybe it’s an ingenious storage solution, a theft-deterrent system, your favorite accessory, a custom fabrication, a trail-tested modification, or something so useful that every Tremor owner will want one.

HOW TO ENTER:
✅ Post at least one clear photo of your modification or accessory. [The more photos the better!]​
✅ Tell us what it is and why you added it​
✅ Share the approximate cost and installation difficulty​
✅ Include a product link or additional details if available​
✅ Everyone is welcomed to participate, One entry per member​

The contest runs through the end of the month, with our winners revealed on October 1. The community decides the results in real time, so show your support by liking your favorite entries. When the contest closes, the three entries with the most likes will take home the prizes!

The winners will receive a Tremor Forums T-shirt, tumbler, and the satisfaction of knowing their Tremor is a little more interesting than everyone else’s.

Prepare to be WARNed!

Hey @modified and the rest of the forum! For the contest, I submit the most hardcore, physics-defying recovery gear ever bolted to an F-250. Feast your eyes on the photographic evidence.

I threw this bad boy on Double Deuce because when you’re pushing a 7.3L gas behemoth with a Dana M275 rear axle up the trails in Moab, you need recovery equipment that matches that sheer, unadulterated testosterone.

This absolute unit of a Warn winch doesn't just effortlessly yank 50,000 lbs out of a sinkhole—it's literally how I pull women. The magnetic attraction is undeniable; I just spool out a little line and reel 'em right in. Talk about serious pulling power.

I actually showed this exact beast of a setup to the guys at the WARN booth at SEMA last year. They were completely winch-struck. Grown engineers wept. They asked if they could take notes.

Let's talk specs. The build quality? Completely indestructible. I'm pretty sure the housing is forged from the tears of stranded Prius owners. And the sheer power of that ultra-micro synthetic rope? It possesses the tensile strength to drag the earth closer to the sun if I anchor it to a sturdy enough pine tree. It’s simply un-pull-ievable.

Vote for the mightiest mod on the forum. Let's wrap this up and secure the win!

Installation difficultly is very difficult. Like 5/5. It took my shop two days to get it right!

If you're interested, here's the link:

The WARN guys at SEMA appreciated the unbelievable unit. Here's their booth. I couldn't bring it in because this thing weighs a ton!

The mod I get asked about the most is hands-down my Addictive Desert Designs center console MOLLE panel.

While the installation itself is pretty straightforward, you’ll want to take your time adjusting and centering everything perfectly. Just a heads-up: I’d consider this a permanent mod since it requires installing rivnuts/rivet nuts into the console.

Price-wise, it’s a bit of an investment—the panel itself is over $500, and you’ll likely end up closer to $700 once you add the mounts and accessories.

Here are a few of my original photos from day one. It’s definitely evolved over the years!

Damn thing couldn't even handle the whole nugget so you had to take a bite out of it?!?! 🤦😜🤣

I didn't take the bite. The winch did. That’s just what happens when you unleash this much raw, unbridled recovery power on the trail. It gets hungry. Frankly, you should be impressed it spared the rest of the bumper.

And yes, I did upload pics of a breast and a taco but @modified immediately removed it!
 
My truck has a lot going on, like way more in mods (including the camper) than the truck cost brand new.

I’d say the absolute best Mod on the truck has been the @OmahaBravo Lightguard. Since I run the camper and don’t have a tailgate these keep some shitbag from running off with my expensive tail lights.

Because I have no tailgate and you can see them all the time OB hooked me up with a raw set that went in to get Ceracoted first in white and then with a second clear cote over them. They look sick, finish the backend of the truck nice, and keep my truck secure.

Hard to decide on the most interesting, but I will submit this one for consideration.

It is a new design that I have been working on with Stan at @FunctionFirstDesign for his up fitter guard.

This updated design is lighted and uses the same Switch Pros labels as my controller.

It is super clean, and really makes the up fitter switches easier to use, especially at night.

And before you ask, the second switch in from the right is for my Starlink. No one makes a Starlink or even a WiFi label. This was the closest thing I could find.

Are we limited to a single entry?

Here are two more that I believe are unique, if anyone else has either of these please let me know!

First - A custom 9 light linkable XL80 light bar putting out 83,000 lumens from @OmahaBravo designs with a custom harness from @NEOHIO to provide the ridiculous amount of power needed 😬. There is one on the bumper too. Yes I have light problem, we can move past this.

Second - A solution to the dead space between the Leitner roof boxes. I used this space to fit a 20 gallon 150 PSI air tank. I have a quick connection on each side of the rack and one on the rear bumper. I put a small inline pressure gauge in easy view for quick info on the tank pressure.

I cut the legs off and clocked them 45 degrees so the fittings allow for the least amount of space needed between the boxes. I also welded the legs to line up with the mounting dimensions of the boxes, so they can utilize the same load bars. The tank is tied into both of my air compressors (Brushless ARB Twin & AirIQ HD2), I can fill all 4 - 38” tires from 15 psi to 45 psi in about 3 minutes.

I've only heard of the myth of this light bar, after your bumper one blew us all away... Excited that I get to see it first hand in a few days.

@OmahaBravo is quickly establishing himself as the place to go for custom Baja Designs solutions. It's great to have a vendor that will work with you to bring whatever vision you have to life.

The bumper bar has been extended to 9 XL 80’s as well. So between the two bars and the two XL80’s on the A Pilar’s, I have 20 XL80’s throwing light forward. It truly turns night into day.

Do you have a picture of the 9 XL 80s on the bumper? I think the last one I saw had 7 lights on it.

Here you go - this shows all 20 of the XL80’s as well as the other front lights.
 
Damn! That’s making me want to switch out my LP6’s now. 6 inches seem inadequate after seeing that.

I think they have a lot of advantages: More lumens, a larger radius of light, lower profile, and they do not block the front camera. But I do like the look of those LP6’s too!

You have about 5k in XL80s!!!!
