Yessir, used a cheap small hand saw to get the big chunk off (I think it was called a jab saw at HD?) and then dremeled to smooth it out. The instruction guide for the kit actually says exactly where to cut but it's pretty clear because of the plastic moulding
Almost 40k miles over here, average of 16 but that's come down from 17 over the past 2-3 months after getting new tires (Wildpeak AT4W @ 33 psi) and the FP tune. I'm assuming that current MPG is closer to mid 14s since the tires are so heavy
So funny to me that the instructions include the step where you have to dremel out the corner of the spare tire mount. Itās a good kit though! Been running the pieced together version from ordering the parts individually for over a year and have had no problems.
Resurfacing this thread as I just found they sell it as a kit now for way less on the accessories site.

Yeah I'm definitely taking the plunge on the 25 digital cluster swap once parts become available, fingers crossed it's more plug and play than the Raptor one!
Yeah the tune is awesome, the only part of me that hasnāt enjoyed it is my wallet because my mileage definitely went down after install because itās fun to use the whole gas pedal.
I bought mine from Lethal Performance for like $600 and did the install myself, super easy if you follow some...
10.1.0 was an APIM update (the center screen) and 10.1.1 is a TCU (telematics module) update. It likely doesnāt have any user facing changes, I wouldnāt read into it too much
AT4/W over here, have about 2500 miles on them so far. Only one snow storm here in Denver so far and I didn't notice any poor performance, but it was also just on city streets. KO3s were definitely interesting but didn't want to jump up to E load range
Or just wait until you hit 36k miles :wink:
But yeah in all honesty installing the tune is so simple and not worth paying a dealer to do unless youāre concerned about any warranty related issues
Supposedly Ford Performance is supposed to start selling the Raptor reinforcement at some point as a package but who knows when that will happen. Some of us have put it together in the meantime and it works well. The revised hinges are really the difference maker there, the plate isnāt anything...
Is the center screen going into night mode as well? There is a toggle in settings to be permanently in day or night mode, maybe it somehow got flipped?
The only way for him to update is with a $500 cable and an FDRS license. I just donāt think itās necessary if heās not missing anything š¤·š¼āāļø
Oh wow youāre way out of date on software. Not missing a ton, I think the main thing is just full screen CarPlay/Android Auto. But obviously wonāt hurt anything to be out of date
Correct, weāre not paying for it. But thatās how FordPass on your phone is able to connect to your vehicle if you set it up. As for the version, itās in Settings -> General -> About SYNC I believe. Most recent version is 24XXX. You can also see if youāve ever gotten updates by going to Settings...
Yeah blocking wifi won't do anything, the updates are all downloaded via the cellular connection in the vehicle.
I assume they changed it so that it'll match the new digital gauge cluster on the 2025s
The outline on the blue background is part of the most recent SYNC software update (10.1.0) so whenever you receive that update it'll switch from the rolling rocks to the more modern and simple one
