I finally finished applying the graphene. Just had the box to do this morning. Used Ethos Defy on the cab (graphene applied a few weeks ago). This is the first time I’ve used Ethos products (someone else on the forum recommended) and I’m really happy!
Looks good! How much product did you need to get a consistent coat all around?

Thanks. I used almost 1/2 a 50ml bottle of the Ethos Graphene Matrix for 1 coat, that includes all the windows.

I did not do it all today. It took three days. Added: Front seat floor mats, box liner, box cover, tailgate chrome letters, mud flaps, screen protector, front and back cameras, back seat release latch, and I think that is all of it so far. Also did several Forscan fixes. Shown without flaps.

Installed a relatively minor mod to my F-150 today. Popped a trailer hitch on her! I don’t necessarily have anything to tow just yet, but a top tip from a friend gave me the idea of picking one up and putting it on in case I get rear ended. Hopefully the hitch will take the brunt of a rear end impact rather than my bumper and tailgate!


I went with a Reese Towpower Elite Hitch, model number 7039200, and a Reese Tactical Receiver Lock

The ball and hitch mount are finished in black nickel which resists rusting and corrosion. It also has a dark, sleek look to match my Sport Appearance Package!

I think it looks good overall, but I kinda miss my Ford logo hitch cover. What do you all think?

Removed the rear blocks between the axle and leaf springs to lower the back end a bit and get rid of some of the rake. It sits about 1.5” lower in the back now
Did you need additional parts? Also, what were the torque settings?

The U bolts hang a bit lower so I’ll probably change them out to the 2wd U bolts at some point.
I torqued the nuts to 100ft lbs.
it was really easy. Took less than an hour for both sides

Always had a hitch on my F250, but since this truck is a garage queen I'm saving my shins until winter hits again. Might have to start pulling in when that happens.

Since the nuts are on you could just cut some of the length off. If you ever remove the nuts, that will fix the any issues with buggered up threads.
