Dooooo you really change seat positions all that often? No kids, vira has own vehicle? Put them in and just normal person leave them.

But if I do need to move them, like to get something behind the seat, or because I realize I don't like the recline angle or something, I can't. I'd have to build a build a temporary harness attached to a laptop just to get them moved into the initial position to begin with.

In other news, do I buy a rough looking Raptor steering wheel for $75 and hope I can rehab it, or do I wait until later and get a new one for ~6x as much? :lol:

I wouldn't even use the bezel or buttons, so it's just about the rim and the paddles and the internal heat mechanism. I already found a place that sells new leather for a good price, so I think I might grab it. We'll see how bad they want to jam me on shipping.

Kinda wish it was perforated leather on the sides. I can fix that with the leather kit though.

Only thing I don't like is how it goes on over the old leather. Maybe it stitches up tight enough, but it feels like it should have some glue or something to keep it from moving around.



Video is for a gen 12, but the process would be the same for pretty much any steering wheel. They sell a gen 13 specific kit.

This should be pretty much what I end up with.

You should just buy a Platinum F-150 instead.



lol, sorry my old 3S days of "buy a VR4 and you'll be further ahead" just surfaced. :)

Exaaacly. 2 door is the default poverty spec now.

If this goes the way I want, I'll end up with something between a Lariat and a Platinum. Lariat+ Minus :lol:

Those are 2018. Post facelift. Won't work on my truck.

Once I get all this crazy interior stuff sorted I need to go back and figure out the halo LEDs for mine.

BTW, Raptor wheel is supposed to be here Monday. Shipping was reasonable. :lol:

I really do like the 2018+ front end. But if I had any intention at all of doing that, I wouldn't have bought the headlights I have now.
