Love mine. Haven’t put it on the new truck yet. Need to replace the tape for the rails to mount. But in the WA state rain and the usual over 95 degree summer heat here in NorCal it did great for the 4 years i had it.
I haven’t done it but saw on the 14th Gen FB page that someone did remove the rear block on a 4x4 and used the stock u bolts to tighten it all back up.
Great post. Nice to see a photo evidenced comparison. I’ve loathed the Ford halogen lights. It’s probably the driving factor for me getting my XLT 302a. While the STX is a nice truck as i like a basic truck i was tired of sacrificing the ability to see at night.
