True, but try driving around without a front license plate in the JSC area and find out how pricey the tickets can be!

What really hacks me off is that I had to mod the bracket to fit my fairlead... It would appear Engo uses a Smittybuilt fairlead spacing and not Warn... I bet the HF Badland winches among others are the same way...

 

What ever does NOT require modification now? Nothing ever fits right haha.

I've noticed that some areas don't care about front plates at all, while others pull you over constantly. I've gotten pulled over a few times for not having one, but never got an actual ticket, or even a written warning though. But now the truck is registered in Indiana, so no front plate required for me

 

Ptmed grille surround

 

Yea until I joined this site I had no idea other states required inspections or front license plates etc. In SC they don't care about anything apparently lol not sure if thats a good or bad thing though

 

They are nice. My passenger side does not fit properly, it's shaped correctly but it seems as if it's missing 1" of length on the seat side. So because of that and the nice glossy coating fading out, I am 70% satisfied with mine. Were $210 shipped in 2011.

 

I've been daily driving mine this past week. Fuel pump went in the Cavalier, going to try to replace it myself. Couple Youtube how-tos of it and the GM A/C Delco pump is $173 from RockAuto so I can't complain about that. I called the dealership and the same part # pump was $330 alone!

I recorded this interior sound clip for a 'drone catching effect' of my exhaust and tires.

 

Your tires are WAY quieter than mine!

 

That's pretty quiet.

My Trail Grapplers are pretty quiet too, quieter than I was expecting.

A neighbor of mine said he put 70k miles on a set of your tires and the only reason he didn't get a new set is that they don't make them for 20s.

 

Detailed mine again, put Wipe New on the faded plastic flares that our trucks are notorious for.

Used it with good results. I highly suggest it to those who have plastic fade.

Not all As Seen On TV products are BS.

 

few pics of the ptm surround since I couldn't post any at the time

 

+1 for the weathertech mats. They cost quite a bit more than buying a set of rubber "hold it and trap it" mats, but I'm very happy them. I too noticed that the passenger side one slides around a little. I thought about using a little double sided sticky tape to hold it in place, but it doesn't bother me that much.
I suppose it could be because I don't have any mat under the weathertechs... only the carpet.

 

Got my new emblems in that I'm gonna PTM, haven't looked at them too much but does anyone know the easiest way to take them apart?

 

Guinea pig!

I imagine taking a dremel and screw driver would be a good start if they're anything like the 09+ fender badges.

 

Did you pick up the new three part ford emblems? If so, pics please. Thinking about picking one or two up but not sure.

 

Yea I'll take pics because I haven't seen many write ups on them. So far I have the outer blue ring out, that was the easiest. Pushed it through with my fingers and have 4 small dot size tabs that you punch out/break off with a pen. I'm going slow so not to break anything. I'll keep yall updated.

Edit: Just took it apart, its technically 4 pieces. I'll explain more in a write up. Got a lot of school work to do but hopefully I can get it done before Wednesday when I head to Auburn for the USC game. That drive would test the paint/clear on it for sure.
