Where did you get these brackets that fit in the boxlink plates?
And I am curious -why did you not extend the board all the way to the sides?

Those are β€˜E-track’ brackets that fit the Boxlonk slots, you can get them on Amazon. And there are gaps cause I was lazy/cheap and that the was the width of the board I brought for the job. Figured it was wide enough to do the job. If it doesn’t work I’ll probably join 2 pieces together to close the gaps.

I wish I could add something like that with my swingcase, but good to know you can get those fittings readily. I'm gonna get some and if I need it I can just take the swingcase out temporarily.

So here are the mods that were done when I picked it up. Pretty happy with how it turned out. I haven’t had a lot of driving time due to going on vacation the day after delivery, but I’m getting around 24-25mpg in town so far. Very pleased and I’ve been getting on it here and there for break in.

Formula 1 ceramic tint all around 15% rear, 5% fronts. Air blue 80 ceramic on windshield

2” ready lift level

Toyo OC AT3 275/60/20 SL (wanted stock size for max efficiency , same weight as Hanooks)

Line X premium

Undercover flex armor tonneau cover

added shorty antenna and will install fake noise bypass module this weekend.

Man I'm jealous, I ordered pretty much the exact same truck as you on 1/3 this year and mine still isn't built yet. Couple questions:
- Do you have the Co-Pilot 360 Active 2.0 package? If so, does your 2" level impact the Bluecruise at all?
- How are you liking the ceramic tint?

no rhyme or reason to Ford’s build process. Extremely frustrating and caused me to buy another 22 when I thought my order wouldn’t be produced.

yep, I have blue Cruise added with the active package. It works fine.. I was worried with the verbiage on readylift’s site, but it works great with zero issues.

ceramic tint is a must down here in the south. Besides the privacy the heat rejection is amazing. I’ve had it done on all our recent vehicles including the windshield. That besides the moonroof is the biggest area for heat to pour in.

added are some pics with windows up and down for comparison. . The front doesn’t appear as blue hued in person. Highly recommend air blue 80 for the windshield.

Just finished swapping the headlights, fogs and taillights. Swapped out the STX badge to an American flag.

Where did you get the flag emblem and how difficult was it to install?
