Lug nut snapped on the stud! Any ideas?
Im beyond words pissed off. Can't recall last time I was this angry at something. I don't even know what I should do. Heres the picture of the broken nut: I tried to just move onto a different wheel, went to the front driver. Impact wouldnt budge a single one. Breaker bar....SNAP. Thinking... -

Lug nut snapped on the stud! Any ideas?
Havent caught a break with this damn truck when it’s come to wheels. Half the lug nuts spun with that stupid cap when I attempted to put my lift on. Got it on, and bought two (4) packs of replacement lugs because that’s all they ad in stock at the time. No biggie, only like 6 were mangled... -

P71 Alternator swap on a 3rd gen?
Yeah, but those are no names, typically never last, common to burst into flames, and those ratings are typically “up to” 300a at some ridiculous 5-6k RPM range, less than stock at idle.- briandye

P71 Alternator swap on a 3rd gen?
I have a 2008 Limited, non-EL. Been looking to upgrade the alternator, because with the stock setup, in the morning or night, having headlights, AC or heat (as well as rear) and my blinkers going, obviously is a huge draw on the system. I plan on overhauling the stereo soon (4 channel amp for...- briandye

Can you remove the black plastic on the rear bumper?
Tire shine makes the faded plastic really shine in its not-very-Black anymore glory. I pulled it up, and repainted it black with Krylon Fusion. Looks perfect and brand new. -

Can you remove the black plastic on the rear bumper?
The black plastic piece on the top of my rear bumper, under the hatch is faded and really looks bad. Can I remove it somehow? Or will I have to tape around it and refinish it on the vehicle? Mines a 2008. I searched and couldn’t find much besides “use a heat gun” which I’ve done before but is... -

Rear wheels off center?
I have the 3/2 lift, 35" Nitto's on factory 20's. The front to my eye looks almost perfectly centered in the wheel well, but the back sits a stupid amount forward. It drives me nuts. I noticed right off the bat, but after one friend pointed it out, its eating at me. Id love to see someone come...- briandye

Power running board plug pinout diagram?
Unfortunately the previous owner ditched the power running boards from my 2008, (I really like them, yes I know they are terribly problematic) and installed the stationary type. I can't stand them, and will be removing them, but I had an idea. I was wanting to install some white LED strips along...- briandye

Wheel spacers
So I was doing some late night browsing the other night reading about wheel spacers and such. While looking up some info on Bora stuff, I came across a spacer listing on Amazon (I’m not home right now to check, but I believe the brand was “Supreme”). They’re F-150 spacers, hub centric with an...- briandye

Wheel spacers
Just priced them out from Bora, damn! $235 for four 1.25” spacers. Not that it’s unreasonable, just used to the sh*tty eBay/Amazon spacer prices since I’ve never “seriously” shopped around for them. Well, gonna add it to my “Parts I want that are a couple hundred bucks or more” list.- briandye

How do I remove my front bumper cover? ‘08
I have searched and searched! I cannot find any write ups or articles talking about the front bumper cover. It doesn’t look too hard, but I tend to break stuff if I go in blind. I have a light bar I want to mount in my lower grill, a dent to pop out, and want to paint the inner lower grill...- briandye

Wheel spacers
I have a 2008 Limited, with the 3/2 lift, and 35x11.5x20 Nitto Terra Grapplers, love them. Little noise, but it’s driving me crazy how far in they sit. It looks good from the side and front, but the back just looks awkward. I would kill for some quality 1.5” spacers (I don’t want to trim my...- briandye

Show your Lifted 3rd Gens
2 things.... 1. Any pics of lofted third gens with aftermarket step bars? Mine had power boards from the factory, but were replaced with the ugly running boards sometime before I bought it. I’d love the power ones, and yeah, I know they’re problematic. I would do away with them all together...- briandye

My '08 Limited (Warning - Lots of pics)
So one of the biggest pet peeves I have with it is that crappy plastic Ford emblem they switched to. "Lets make this iconic logo, the brand of our vehicle, painted plastic to save a few bucks!" I like the dark gray, and black theme the truck already has going, with the factory black headlights...- briandye
