Hey all! Long time lurker, first time poster
Absolutely loving my F150L Plat in Iconic Silver and hyped to show it off. Haven't seen anyone post an Ibex rack setup yet, so I wanted to share.
This is the Kuat Ibex full height with full mollee on both sides and the back. Extra crossbar, handles, shovel mount and a 3rd brake light (hasn't shipped yet, who knows when it'll be here). Mounted on the ReTrax Pro XR bed cover.
Mainly I use my truck to commute - but we also camp and trail equipment around the farm. I wanted something of a multi tool to help get our other vehicles unstuck in a pinch, tote cold beverages around, and supply glamping power wherever we may be.
I have an Anker solix generator in the back because keeping the truck "running" just to supply bed power seems stupid to me. I will charge it via Pro Power when driving and let it keep my Dometic cooler running frosty when parked. I also installed a bumper and rack mounted plugin for solar. I've also made a custom bracket to rack mount my Starlink mobile and happy to report it can handle highway speeds
.
I have been testing some ways to leverage this battery for emergency charging, but no luck just yet. Range has taken a bit of a hit due to aero, but nothing substantial enough for me to complain. I have a 40A Tesla wall charger at home and it gets me by just fine.
Other small mods are: tints, window visors, standoffs for center console springs (keeps it from flopping), Husky mats, BlackVue cams, radar hardwire, tailgate beep delete and frunk beep delete. I'd like to look into leveling and off-road wheels/tires for the later seasons, but a bit concerned about BC on the level, and range/noise implications from the new wheels and tires.
Let me know your thoughts, questions or inputs! Roast me or toast me, idc. Just happy to be a proud Lightning owner adding my own personal flare
