🙋‍♂️ What Did You Do To Your Lightning Today?

[Vulnox]

I got the truck this past Thursday, but did a few things to it.

-Installed Bakflip MX4, now on its fifth F-150, but first EV F-150. This tonneau cover has been a trooper.
-Installed dash cam
-I got the Ford molded mud flaps and used the paint marker idea from this thread but we ended up doing white instead of the blue. I liked the blue idea, but the white is a lot easier to see and goes well with the truck.
-I did the adjustment for my driver door as I could hear the seals rubbing over bad roads that others on here discussed and provided a solution for. Very easy and truck is much quieter.
-My usual array of FORSCAN mods to turn off the double honk (although I learned after this is a menu item on 2024s), removed the "full view not available" from the rear camera, and changed the number of signal flashes for lane changes.

I have the frunk nets coming today, which is less a mod and more just adding in something Ford stripped out, but happy so far.

I am debating if I want to reinstall my bed boxes or do something different. Having the frunk opens up a lot more options.

What did you do to your driver’s door to get rid of those noises? It’s driving me insane.

I followed this post. They were even good enough to make a video.

It was a 30 second adjustment, I put about 20 miles on it yesterday including some rough roads and door didn't make a sound.

Did three things to my lightning this week. First I was inspired by a brandon flash video to finally pull my front license plate off and plug the holes. Painted some plugs from a local auto parts store and it looks great.

Next I was jealous of the higher end trucks painted mirror caps but am too cheap to pay the 400 plus to get them from a company like lethal performance. So I bought some cheap mirror covers in white off amazon and then painted them to match my avalanche color.

Third I wanted to give my truck a mild level to give it a little more clearance. My goal is to keep the stock size tires and hopefully do as little damage to the range as possible. So I slapped a 1.5” level on the front and am very happy with the results. Got a quality alignment the next day. I have driven about 280 miles the last two days and my efficiency is sitting at 2.4 miles per kWh with about 80% of that being freeway driving. Thats near as makes no difference what I was getting pre level.

Bought seat cover after using towels stuffed under headrests that never stay for the past 12 years (moved from old truck). Bought one for Mach-E also. Price dropped for Amazon Spring Sale and retirement says time to spend money.

Also got rid of leaking old compressor that my father in-law gave me with a new compressor last fall. Decided that the old reel he had in his stuff wasn't worth mounting so put it up for sale and bought a retracting one.

Also bought non-vehicle items like scale for my homebrewing.
