The Kenda R/T’s definitely hum over 45mph as well, but it’s not intolerable to me. Around 60 dB in the cab at 45mph, 65 dB at 70mph.

Looks bada$$ man! I noticed in your signature that you have the Vice Designs rear tow hook brackets. I’m thinking about getting them. How do you like them? Have any pics of them?Took a picture, wired my ditch lights with proper extensions, and tried to put some security hardware on them but the bolts didn't fit properly

I installed the BedRug XLT carpet bed mat. My uncle has the full BedRug liner in his F150 which I thought was pretty nice, but I’m not super impressed with this mat.
They shipped it without the installation hardware so I had to wait for customer service to mail me replacements. Once I got it installed I had a very “meh” feeling about the fit. The only thing holding the mat in is two long Velcro strips down either side of the middle of the mat. It doesn’t move around but all four corners don’t sit flat. It would have been better if they included four smaller Velcro patches in the corners to better secure those.
Despite my best effort, the piece covering the tailgate isn’t pulled tight and the Velcro adhesive didn’t stick very well. I thoroughly cleaned the attachment points with isopropyl alcohol and used the adhesive promoter, but the Velcro strips are holding tighter to the hook and loop than to the adhesive. If I try to remove the tailgate fabric I’m liable to take the adhered Velcro mounts with it. I’m not hopeful for the long term attachment.
I got this to have a nicer surface to lay golf bags on. One of my last bags developed a hole sliding around on the factory bed liner. Overall, not super impressed with the quality of the product given the price point. I’ll see how the summer goes and might have an update later this year.

I used 3M adhesion promoter and almost all the velcro that came with mine, it hasn't moved in 3 years

Neither did I. Wiped the area with 70% isopropyl alcohol then applied 3M adhesion promoter and stuck the velcro on

oh fuh that's not fun!
I like them. I've used them a couple times and they've done great too. Only gripe, one of the bolts was too short and didn't fit properly so I had to buy one at the hardware store. Not a big deal just annoying lol
I've been kinda wanting the rear bumper from Vice too, looks good but I'm on the fence about it.

I say go for it that vice bumper color matched would be amazing!

Knock on wood (with the biggest hammer you got), but so far, no leaks. Tested last night with a hose and all seems to drain properly where it should. Hopefully I can reinstall the fenders and liners tonight with a couple cold ones and move on to an oil change and some cleaning tomorrow.

It would seem I missed your earlier posts, but where were you having leaks?
What is it that prompted this tear-down?

Passenger floor board. Apparently it's a common tsb with some of the earlier models. I have been having water leaks for some time and finally found out about the tsb. It appears some seam sealer was missed, or at the very least inadequately applied to the inner fender structure. There's a pretty good video on youtube about the teardown and fix if anybody else is in my boat (sad pun, I know).

Yeah it's weird that it hasn't been a "day 1 issue" and it took a couple years to develop. There have been reports of either and both sides leaking too. My drivers side was bone dry, but while I had it tore down that far, I decided to pull that fender too and seal both sides.
Do you know what your Build Date is? Mine is May 2021. I haven't experienced any leaks ... yet
