This is awesome, I have one on order from BFN truck shop, it was $220. Thought about doing it myself, but didnt know how I would match the lightning blue.
Just curious if anyone is sitting on a pair. I have the regular Ford OEM Take off running boards, but didnt realize the Lightning ones extend farther down and allow you to step on to get something out of the bed. That would be nice. The OEM take off's I have end at the passenger door.
So chatting with a Putco specialist, they confirmed that there is no green wire and that if you hooked it up to your brakes, it would attempt the startup sequence each time you hit your brakes, def not ideal. Not sure I really want it anymore.
I've been thinking about adding this in place of the rear emblem on my Pro (would only work on a Pro/XLT)

I bought this Lariat Grille when adding a lightbar to my pro. I initially thought I could get away without cutting my existing grille and using this, but realized the trim below the bumper is the same color as the grille, so a mismatched grille might look weird. So I ended up cutting my original...
HUGE Thank you to @ZSC100 for installing this for me today. I was a little squeamish about doing this myself and boy was I right, it wouldve easily taken me 3x the time it took Zach. Great dude!
I had actually bought a lariat grill on ebay because I didnt want to bother cutting the old grill and thought it might look better, but looking at pics of lariats and pro's side by side, i noticed that the trim below the grill is the same color as the grill, so it might look weird to mix and...
Got the hard part done! Will do the programming over the weekend with the help of @ZSC100, we'll be adding the passive entry to my truck also.
THANK YOU @shoopg for figuring this out!
and THANK YOU @KurtsRPMGarage for making the video, helped out a lot.
hey @shoopg , this is a great write-up, been waiting awhile for someone to figure this out! I just ordered a light bar off ebay, but not sure when I'll get around to installing it or having a shop do it for me. Do you see any issue with doing the programming portion before actually installing...
I switched phones to a Pixel Fold and have had MUCH better luck with it. I have been able to make calls without issue.
What I think the difference is, is that I did not pair my phone with the car through bluetooth. I just connected it via cable and had android auto pop up. After that, it still...
Hmm the person in the parts department said there is only 1 part that comes up and for my VIN, the mat for the one with a center speaker is the only part available, guess the mat for the Pro's is not an issue? who knows.
