Modified's 2020 F250 Tremor Build

[modified]

It was a great day to have the games on and work on a few projects in the garage. I finally got around to installing the BANKS RAM AIR Intake. With the windows down, you can definitely hear more turbo spool and grunt from the motor. It sounds great! I'll report back after a few weeks of driving & towing to see if there are any notable differences in performance.

Complete Kit:

Stock filter vs Banks:

Stock air box had quite the collection of insects..lol

The Install was straightforward. The directions from Banks were easy to follow and the total install time was less than an hour.

The fitment of Banks air box was really good and looks awesome with the clear window.

Where did you acquire the cushion??

It fits really well. The material is just ok, it's not real leather but it's comfy and keeps our little dog from sliding off.

Thanks! I like this idea alot and may become a copycat

Finally got rid of the chrome strip on the tailgate.

I used matte black rust-olem peel coat paint. We'll see how long well it holds up!

I like the framing of the Bronco at the top of the picture too...

Finally got around to cutting and installing the front BuiltRight panels. I had to take the Retrax cover off to move some furniture and figured might as well do it before I reinstall it. Thanks to @Bill for posting photos of his installation, that made it really easy. (https://www.fordtremor.com/threads/...ight-bedside-racks-does-it-fit.775/post-76140)

What boxes are those that fit under the bed cover. I just got RetraxPRO XR installed and want to use the space under it.

Did the mirror caps and grill trim on my Volvo wagon with rust-oleum peel coat. So far it's held up on a forward facing part pretty well. First round on the mirror caps made it about a year and had some spots where rocks cut into it. Second time I did it, I went a little thicker on it and it's been about three years w no issues. Car washes and everything.

I currently have a piece of kangaroo leather laying on top of mine, doesn't help much for sliding

Storage Under Retrax Pro Tonneau Cover Storage Container

I'm looking for storage solutions for tools and gear under the Retrax Pro's storage container. Currently I am using 3 basic plastic tool boxes to hold some of my things and they fit under the storage container nicely. The problem is that there are 3 tool boxes (and another separate tupperware...

The Roam 83L rugged case would be another good option.

Finished up the installation on the driver and passenger AMP beside steps.

Did the same thing to my tailgate handle. Man, some of these little chrome deletes look so good! I didn’t think it would matter much, but boy was I wrong.

Love the bedside steps. I need to do this. Is the folding mechanism held strong enough that it won’t fold down if you hit a big bump or something? Just curious. Truck is looking great!

Thanks! The steps take a little bit of muscle to drop, so I can't see them folding down while driving. My only concern would be how the step attaches to the arm. It's only held on by three screws. It feels sturdy when using it though.

I'm a big boy - 275# and ripped mine out while connecting 5th wheel hitch. I replaced and drilled through using nuts and flush screws on top. Holding better than factory.

Thanks! It’s on my list, but it’s down there still. Surprised I still have a list by now. Geez, never ending!

I really did not appreciate the 3 screws and added some threadlocker. Check them from time to time, they are still holding but i hoped for better design, this is deff. the weakest part.

How do you like the Banks Ram Air? Is there much of a noticeable difference?

I'm really happy with it. It's hard to tell if there are any performance gains. I'll just trust Banks with their testing.

You can definitely hear a difference at low speeds. The intake provides a much deeper tone/growl at lower RPMs, turbo spool is definitely more pronounced.

Here's a quick video of the exhaust & intake. It's recorded with an iPhone mic, so not sure if the grunt really comes through.

 

[Earl Bassett]

I love the growl it has. Does the install affect the warranty at all?
