Removed the BOV hose that was plugged and hanging down since I installed the TurboSmart Vent to Atmosphere BOV and Mishimoto Intercooler. Put a black rubber chair leg cover over the tube on the intake tie wrapped it to to secure it a little more

I also decided to put my front mud guards on. Still not sure I like that they remove a plastic trim instead of working around it, but I might 3d print a trim to replace it. I would cut down the ones that were there but on broke pulling it off ☹

Still undecided if I should replace the power boost emblem they pulled off when the repainted my door and never put it back, pull the passenger side off or I found some ones repaired matte black to replace them with. I'm really considering the last option. (I only mention it because you can see the driver side is missing in the pics)

Just installed some Airlift 5000 Ultimate airbags along with a WirelessONE compressor on my PB.
how do you like the kit? How is the ride quality unloaded? What psi do you run loaded and unloaded?

I sold my 22 XLT that I owned for 5 weeks and got a 22 Lariat, that’s how my day (yesterday) went.
What were the options that you couldn't live without?

Well there was a lot to it, but to give you the abbreviated, direct answer:

Leather, cooled seats, 4A, nav.

The more drawn out version of the story:

The Lariat was a J1 truck that was built before most of the price increases (blend date 20 Jan 22), but wasn't delivered until September. So it still had the content that was removed from J2. Also, I somehow managed to get the dealer to honor x-plan pricing, which took 4100 off the price, and saved me another 900 on fees/taxes. That and some negotiation, I got the truck for 61800 OTD, sticker was 63655. trade-in got me about 1500, but I put 9k down on the XLT that I traded in. So I lost quite a bit there, but a similarly equipped Lariat now, after the price increases, is about 68-69k. I lost money, BUT I feel like I got a crazy good deal on the truck based on today's pricing on Lariats.

Also, when I bought the XLT, I had zero cars for a family of 4 and I had to have something that day, so I didn't really have time to get what I wanted the first time around.

Were you able to pocket some dough on the XLT? What prompted the change?

Most of my reasoning is laid out in this second quoted post. I think the biggest thing for me, which was a foot note in the following post, is that I was rushed into buying the XLT. That, combined with the deal I got, I thought the trade was a no brainer

Installed Bilstein 6112/5160s this morning. Struts set to position 4 which is 1.5" height increase netting a 2.25" difference front to rear instead of 3.75". Love the more controlled ride vs. stock. 1,100 miles on the truck.

Swapped the front 6.75's from I just put in from Crutchfield for a pair of Kicker 43DSC69304 D-Series 6x9's using these adapters and it made a HUGE improvement in bass as well as mid and high end sound clarity. Everything fits perfectly and no clearance issues at all.

Also There was just too much chrome on the truck so I swapped the chrome XLT grill for a Lariat sport grill. Not the best pictures but I like the contrast of the dark grill.

Future plans If I decide to keep going are to get the bumpers wrapped to match the body color as well as the two main horizontal bars on the grill as well. But for now I am happy with is.
