Finally getting around to my rule 1 post. Bought in February, was hoping to get it cleaned up before posting, but I got tired of waiting.

2024 (new) Lariat FX4 with the V8. I've added a BAK Revolver x4s bed cover and Miller CAT cat shield. I'm very happy with it so far.

Unfortunately, yes. Cats and taillights, but I haven't been able to find the correct security screws to replace the stock ones to protect my taillights.

We recently swapped our F150 taillight screws out with these:

What year model is yours? They worked well? I'd seen those but was skeptical if they'd work, as mine are high-low screws, and nothing I could find at Ace worked.

Love that color. Reminds me of the early 2000s True Blue metallic.

I do not need a new truck at all, but I want a newer 5.0 before you cant get one anymore.

Mine was a '22 STX. It doesn't have all the sensors in the taillights. They work like any other screw - you just have to have the weird bit they provide to turn them. Takes a couple minutes to swap out.

Anti matter blue FTW. Ordered my Raptor that color and it is by far my favorite. Congrats on one nice truck!

I love the way AMB looks, especially in the sun after a wash. But my goodness can it be a PITA to keep clean.

Not discouraging the swap, but Amazon and others sell bits for these screws.

I mean, they sell impact drivers and Dremel tools too for use on loctite'd screws. All of this is to hope thieves move to another target that's slightly less work.

How do you like the Bak Revolver cover?

I've got a soft one but can't stand the velcro.

I'm happy with it. It is very easy to operate, is very sturdy, and seems secure.
