Can you snap a picture from the front in daylight? is there any offset on the wheels? Want to do something similar but don't want too wide of a stance.

Where can you buy a grille from another trim?
make sure you order from Ford Parts online, choose your local dealer for pick up - it will save you hundreds

Looks great bud!! How bad was grille swap? Want to put an STX grille in my XLT when it gets built and wondering how bad the tear down is
Pretty similar to the 2018-2020s
Remove the two screws on the front wheel well (both sides) and gently pull lower fascia off (be aware of tabs etc)

a bunch of top tabs to remove the plastic cover on top of the grille/radiator etc. then some bolts on top.

Then another single bolt on either side of the lower grille and then it should slide out

Love the Raptor lights............I have a 502a Lariat incoming.....How did you do the Raptor lights?
I hooked up to the front side marker lights out of the driver side headlight. Easy two wire plug that was simple to identify what was ground and power

Looks great! I’m also curious about how the grill comes off. Is it similar to the previous models? The painted piece under the grill has two screws on each side and then pull it away from the truck, exposing the bolts for the grill?
Yea pretty close to previous model. Lower fascia is removed by the two screws in each front wheel well. And there’s a lot of tabs on top of the grille/radiator plastic cover that hide other bolts/etc

Which amber light kit did you use? Did you use a plug and play adapter or did you have to splice ? Looks great.
Bought some Tacoma ones on Amazon that were a little wider to emulate the new longer lights on the new raptor. Spliced into the side marker light located behind driver side headlight

Nice truck! Where can I get the raptor lights? Thanks!
They were on Amazon. Just got some Tacoma lights that were wider/longer looking to closely emulate the new gen 3 raptor lights

Truck looks great, amazing job on the lights. What is the brand of the 2.5" leveling kit, it looks perfect.
