Finally fitted THAT KR badge on tailgate !
My KR tailgate badge finally arrived today after a successful bid on E Bay....took 2 weeks but thats Christmas mail for you.
Sure enough the lugs on the back are different from the ones on the fender badge but I figured out a way to fit it that I think looks fine.
I decided to leave the original F150 Supercrew badge in place rather than risk a problem getting it off....I tried halfheartedly with fishing line round the back and boy it was fixed on good!
So, I cut off the F150 bit from the KR badge and just mounted the symetrical remaining bit centrally above the original badge.
You just have to snip the one remaining lug off with small end cutters and touch in the edge of the badge if you are pernickity like me !
Will try to post a pic soon when I (sniff sniff) have to leave my beautiful truck in store and return to the UK.
PS My personal plate (TX UK) was mistaken much to my horror the other day .
It stands for Texas...United Kingdom
of course., but the other day someone asked me if my opinion of Texas was really YUK !
But thats what you get down here in the Rio Grande where someone today in HEB said " You come from England ?...You speak good English!"
Sadly she was serious and this isn't the first time it's happened!

Hey Sarah,
That Chestnut does tend to take a bit to get used to but after a while, most tend to like it. You know, you can't have too many KRs so do the next one in Chestnut.
Chestnut reminds me of a joke, you probably know it but I won't go there on this forum, haha. You know, wallnuts, chestnuts and....well, if you don't know that one then maybe boyfriend can tell ya!

tell me about it; i want one in every color...guess it is a good thing they only make three colors....but i think i am really leaning towards a white lightning. gonna waite to see the 2003 model first...besides i think buying two vehicles in one year for a single only person in the house that drives is enough.....man i hate saying that......but i did get rid of one vehicle......
