Anything new in the mudflap department?

[GoodSam]

Bought these small narrow (8") ones that are just enough to keep some stuff from flying onto the door and front edges of the running boards:

These are from Ford Accessory. Fairly easy to install, looked up different YouTube tutorials on attaching. Needed a 7mm and 10mm sockets. And a harbor freight body plug remover tool. The rear guards have metal brackets. I hope the metal is durable from road salt, maybe stainless steel? I spray painted it to help give it a protective coating before installing. Road salt brine is rough on everything.

Looks great! Thanks for sharing this with us and for being part of the Ford family!

The factory flaps are much better than the w/t if for no reason other than the rear is braced. That is a very nice feature if you live anywhere that gets road ice / snow refreezing on the underside.

We have them on both our F350 and Lightning.

Anybody else have a bunch of missing stuff in their parts bag? For the rears I’m missing the larger screws, some sort of tab and some of the push plugs.

No. I think you have been unlucky. There's some clear plastic strips which are unclear as to how they fit in the instructions' I think they go between the rear metal stays and the bodywork to prevent galvanic corrosion.

I literally just thought those were parts to a plastic bag. Dumb. I’m gonna go to ford to get the remainder of the screws at some point. I have the support bars secured in the rear with the plastic push things. Truck was a lot quieter going down the road today, less gravel hitting the truck which was nice. Also my KWH went up by about .1 which was odd

Yes the pinging of gravel on my new truck wasn't a noise I was happy with! Also the gravel ended up on the running boards and started to scratch them up when you step out. Driving in our first real snow fall here in Nova Scotia tomorrow so I'll see if i screwed everything on properly!

Does anyone know of the color pens you can get to highlight the "lightning" logos. I saw it on this website I think

Hit up a craft store, the top of the line is Pasca, but there are cheaper alternatives. Also get some spray polyurethane to clear coat it after.

Here are a few more install pics to add to yours to help others see how these go on. It is easy, and I painted my rear braces as well.

I installed mine today, and was also missing the two rear larger screws. I bought them at my local Ace hardware.
There weren’t any push plugs as part of the install. I’ll also add that the online install instructions were pretty useless.
