Installed the snailfly running boards
Aside from pretty terrible instructions
They went on pretty easy
I kept my front ford mudflaps. So a small trimming of front cap was required
Easy peaky
They should have just put good pictures on a page.. with arrows
Anyway. Wife is happy as she is vertically challenged

While under the car..I noticed lots of cut outs in lower plastic as if a ford areo kit of some kind was intended
Where are they selling the wild track

I was surprised at how sturdy they are
My 230lb svelte frame didnt make them wiggle
Nice! Where were those purchased?

thank you
my wife the number one critic agrees, she is very happy with them
it was funny, i was looking around for some and she came home from shopping and asked if they had running boards like in our f150
i said yes i found an auto set and some fixed sets
she is vertically challenged (5.0 feet) and asked if a fixed set would look ok???
soooo i showed her as many pics as i could find with these installed
she liked, i bought and put them on. overall it took in real time about 50 minutes.
if you dont count the HIGH PRESSURE water hose squirting all the sand out of the nooks and stuff, so it would stop falling in my eyes

I tossed on the aFe Bladerunner Hot/Cold pipes the other day (read my grumble elsewhere), so with the I.C. and AEM drop-in dry filter, I'm ready for a tune.
I tossed my stock tune on ZFG's TDN a while ago, now I chomp at the bit waiting for my DMS... :ROFLMAO:

You'll be glad you did! It might be a bit though, they are currently relocating.
Going for the 93 DMS?

Just got through flashing a 4th revision of a ZFG tune that enabled me to take advantage of the CRP Stage 5 turbos and CVF DPs.
Took it out to log a couple of pulls, hit 2nd gear and blew the hot side pipe right off the turbo. :-O
I'll have to clamp that down adequately tomorrow. The installer must've gone a little light on that one.

Put hood strut kit on
Instructions shoukd have said remove under hood blanket then pop it back on after pins are put in. Made getting the nut plates on easier
I also put some rubber sticky membrane on the nut plates and studs in the hood
To help them stay tight, not cause corrosion etc
And post office delivered it this afternoon...yes sunday

Well it’s been exactly 1 week since I came home with my 2020.

So far swapped out the rear bulbs with the HSF kit, and got tint installed yesterday. 15 on fronts, 20 all the way around the rear, and 50 on windshield. Got my forscan obdlink coming tomorrow to mess around with some programming.

Updated my Sync3 to the latest 23188 as well, that was probably the biggest pain out of everything.

I’m having a pretty loud squeaking coming from what appears to be the sunroof shade cover (it goes away when cover is all the way back or if sunroof is vented) - any ideas from anyone? Is this a common thing?

New shoes - Bridgestone Alenza Ultra AS. The Pirellis were down to the minimum. The tram-lining was getting worse, too.

Forgot to ask - has anyone experienced a "wrench" indicator after new tires?

Today I added a blacked out American Flag Hitch Cover, A red Push Start button overlay, and Running boards! Previously I added molded floor Protectors and new Red accented Cup holder and cubby hole/ compartment rubber mats. A Blacked out American flag License plate frame as well.

Planned upgrades to include
Thermal R&D exhaust.
Intercooler
Cold air intake
Catch can
and ECU Cover.
Black Rims.

as my car did not have the High Package I didn't get the 21" wheels and red calipers!
