Like with a license plate because that’s where Ford mounts it from the factory.

Yes exactly. This is from the Raptor manual. See the little bold part.

"OFF-ROAD DRIVING
In addition to providing an excellent on-road driving experience, your vehicle excels at all types of off-road driving. The truck has been designed and equipped to allow you to explore those places where the road doesn’t take you, whether it’s a forest trail or the open desert. Before going off-roading, consult with your local governmental agencies to determine designated off-road trails and recreation areas. Also, be sure to understand any off-road vehicle registration requirements for the area in which you plan on driving.
Tread Lightly is an educational program designed to increase public awareness of land-use regulations and responsibilities in our nation’s wilderness areas. Ford joins the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management in encouraging you to help preserve our national forest and other public and private lands by treading lightly.
Before taking your vehicle off-roading, a basic vehicle inspection should be conducted to make sure that the vehicle is in peak operating condition.
It is always recommended that at least two vehicles are used while off-roading. The buddy system helps make sure that help is close at hand should a vehicle become stuck or damaged. It is also wise to take supplies such as a first aid kit, drinking water, tow strap, cell or satellite phone with you any time an off-road excursion is planned.

Remove the front license plate before off-roading to achieve optimal performance."

Funny, I just installed new bumper (Fab Fours Aero) and my Front license plates are on
Maglite clips. :)
(old school jeep trick with an offroad bumper or have a winch upfront)

Installed Baja Design Sport and Pro fog lights utilizing Neo-Garage custom Stainless Steel Mounting brackets and wiring hardness (thanks Roman). His set up is well thought out with adjustable brackets and the wiring harness is the perfect length and easier to thread/route to the Ford AUX wires than Bajas. Even has a “Y” split at the wiring and ground end to allow for easy ground selection. Roman was very competitive on all my MOD purchases, which help keep the cost down. The lights showed up quickly as well.

Again, very impressed with Baja Design quality and happy I choose these over Rigid Industries. Although, if I’m being perfectly honest, I do prefer the overall aesthetic’s of the Rigid Industries brand. Somewhere I read/heard, since they sold their company, the quality isn’t as good as it use to be and some parts are either sourced or made overseas, but can’t be certain.

installation and wiring was very straight forward, just need to now work on adjusting the lights so they don’t blind oncoming traffic.

I had these coated in Ceramic as well with XPEL film on the lenses.

next lighting MOD will be Bajas 10” Laser light bar, just need to wait until next AX billing cycle as wifey is monitoring all the upgrades...

And you really want to block your already ****** intercooler of desperately needed airflow ^^

The original post stated that he wanted to run the 30" S8 grille kit, but couldn't because he relocated his intercooler and upgraded to an FMIC. There wouldn't be a "****** intercooler" in the way at that point, if he still had the OEM bumper :)

Special pricing for FRF members?

Always, just sent you a PM!
