2021 Ford F150 -> XTF pre runner build log

[kabacj]

Now that the truck is in great shape from construction perspective with everything tidy like Ford intended, its time to add some accessories.

Our family are big skiers/snowboarders so we make many trips to northern Vermont every winter. I like using the ski carrier on the truck because it allows me to organize our gear and the pod is also waterproof. Plenty of trips start in the rain here at home and transition to snow up north.

Here is the setup on the F350.


I purchased some T track rails from Yakima to mount on the XTF fenders.

Installation was easy.

First remove the fenders. I filled in the holes I was previously using to mount the fenders with some body filler.

i marked all the holes using the T track rail as a guide. I put a fastener in all of the holes.



Drilled and tapped all the holes for 1/4 20 button head faseners.






T tracks installed and the racks slide right in.



And we are done. The XTF with a Yakima GrandTour cargo box. Ready for some snow.
