Lots of different places
Got a few upgrades done throughout the year — just getting around to posting.

Cleaned up the mount for my Garmin and handheld radio.

Replaced my Rogue bumper with a new ADD Venom and changed out the front lighting.

And improved my air-down process with some Apex Design performance valves.

Removed the old round lights that were pretty much useless:

Replaced it with a slim LED light bar that puts out a ton of light:

I noticed shortly after buying the truck that water would get into the back seat area. I checked the 3rd brake light as I know that's common but couldn't find any leaks from it. I did however find a leak in the upper drivers side corner of the rear window. The butyl tape had failed allowing water to stream right in. It took about 2 hours to remove the back seats to gain access to the bolts that hold the rear window on. It took another hour to gently loosen and break the tape the rest of the way to pop the window out.

Then came the fun part... Removing the butyl tape from the truck and the window. This took 3+ hours and I used everything I could find. In the end, WD40 seemed to break down the old tape the quickest.

After this I cleaned everything really good to get any remnant of the wd40 or googone out of there, layer in some fresh butyl tape and reattached the window. After tightening everything up, I did a test and found no leaks.

Nice write up. I had the same issue with mine. The removal of the old tape was a bitch for sure!!

Another day another project! When I bought the truck the drivers seat was terribly warn. The PO purchased a new seat cover for the back of the seat but not the bottom. I replaced the back but didn't like how it was substantially nicer than the bottom so I replaced that as well. I also replaced the seat side trim as it was split at the seat belt.

Thanks, I looked everywhere for a DIY writeup and found a couple videos but nothing that was that complete. I come from a BMW background(still have a couple) where just about every process has a DIY writeup out there already, so I was a little surprised I couldn't find anything on this. If I can squeeze in some time, I'll try and take a few more photos and create a new thread as you suggested.

Most everything that isn't suspension related is identical to the standard f150, and there are write ups for nearly everything, most popular truck in the world and all.

Was it easy to swap seat covers?
