Installing Raptor style Grill on Ford F-150 2004-2008 11th gen (with wiring!)

[@travis1118]

You are the first person I have found who actually shows the wiring being done. Thanks for that!

[@cassalass]

I just got my grill and have tried to watch a few other people’s videos of them installing but still felt not 100% clear. Yours is by far the best and most thorough. Thanks so much. Going to put this on tomorrow morning.

[@JackJones-o1m]

just got my grill today, your directions by far make installation much easier. this method is best for me.

[@gilbertgarcia4042]

Really nice job and videoing. I got a hold of my brother in laws 2005 f-150 4x4 stock. He past away and my sister sold the truck to me. I want to make it my own so I will be doing the grill, head lights, tail lights, and break lights and also a leveling kit and more aggressive tires. So thanks for showing me your truck I will be going that way myself.

[@jpulley]

Sounds like some good mods.

[@MountainManMedia]

I enjoyed your video. I chuckled at the language when you were taking off the headlight assembly because that’s how I talk to uncooperative parts or what I say in response to sounds that might indicate something broke.

[@jpulley]

Lol, yeah you have to talk to these parts so they know you're trying to take them out. 😂

[@JohnnyK1]

I did the same wire soldering (T-type connection) - I found this method the best comparing to other videos. However for the insulation I used a liquid tape. Thanks for the hands-on ideas!

[@noamamrani3832]

Did it , works great. Now I can’t get to the hood latch. 😂

[@Channel0002]

Good Video, I like your before grill more. It looked more custom. Now looks like all the other fords.

[@hendawg3048]

Thank you very thorough and looks like i’m getting a new wire stripper

[@timrymarcsuk7139]

Great description & explaining. I learned something new with your wiring techniques. Thanks!!

[@CPK007]

Great video, love that splice technique.

[@mycontinental3611]

Looks great.I thave the same wire stripper.I didn't know you could srtip the wire with out cutting it .Great tip.

[@jongregory185]

The screws I got in my pack I couldn’t use to hold the bracket to the truck. Thankfully i could use the factory ones still

[@ozzyredwings]

great video, i'll be putting that grill on my 2005 this spring

[@jpulley]

Thanks for comment. Mine has been through all the elements and has had no problems. Good luck on your install.

[@jabarijones2171]

Best vid on YT for grille install👌

[@gabebeats3242]

Thanks for the info bro. Great video!

[@cl604driver]

Great vid dude! It really helped me get the wiring correct. Thanks!!!

[@Niwde73d]

Good job boss 👏 next u need matching smoked headlights

[@jpulley]

I went with these headlights light. I think it all came out good. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6GxmmCap5Wtmtk

@@jpulley beast. I got a 2007 looks the same. Ima be putting headlights and grill cause of you. Thanks

[@timcockrell3378]

Awesome video

[@johnnydept4082]

Thanks! Especially on the wiring part!

[@Natemare13]

How is the raptor style grill holding up? Is it fading in color at all? Any other issues over the long term?

[@jpulley]

I haven't had any problems, I leave the truck parked outside year around and I haven't noticed any real signs of fading or decolorization. The lights still work fine too.

[@johnryan9626]

Great job, I will be watching.👍

[@mattduvall1289]

The amazon link doesn't work.. can you indicate the BEST brand? which one did you purchase?..also most indicate you have to replace the letters is this hard?

[@jpulley]

The one I had already had the letters on it. I'll go back and see what's going on with the link.

[@jpulley]

Essentially these are all the same unbranded grill sold by different sellers. Sometimes the seller will run out of stock and are not able to replace them.That's why the listing will disappear and the link won't work. They are all the same product Here's a couple of links the do work. amzn.to/3uKh8O0 or amzn.to/3sJL9eZ one is prime the other is not prime, its a little cheaper, but it will take longer to get to you.

[@jongregory185]

I had trouble with the bolts you cut too

[@MonaGlam10]

Watching this to see if I can install this lol wish me luck

[@jpulley]

you got it!

[@loganguthrie3218]

Do you think those small plastic splicers would work better if you strip the wire first or no

[@jpulley]

That would probably help but if you already strip back the insulation of the wire you might as well not even use those. I would recommend posi taps. They are the best if you want to tap some wire together without stripping the wire and what not.

[@loganguthrie3218]

@@jpulley ok thank you. Great vid. Subscribed!

[@shannonburns7119]

I have the exact same upper and lower grill that you upgraded from glad to see how much better a new grill will look! Great video thank you!

[@CroWn3611]

Just one dumb question: Did you solder the red wire into the other wire of the amber light or did you solder them both into that one wire?

[@jpulley]

1 wire on 12 volt power the other wire on ground. Two different wires

[@dannyizoita2475]

how did you get those wires for the little lights on the grill where did they come from?

[@jpulley]

I got the wire in Amazon amzn.to/2ShgrNO

[@scottmagyar]

Sir nice grill question new to ford trucks . Is your truck a 2wheel drive and if so what size tires you running, thks

[@jpulley]

My truck has 4 whe drive option. I'm not sure of the tire size right off the top of my head I'll have to check and let you know later.

[@xJL.]

Hey, was just wondering if you could tell me the brand that makes the grill? Links not working and having a hard time finding it. Thanks! Great video too!

[@jpulley]

Thanks for the compliment on the video. Try this one amzn.to/2PmeDOg

[@xJL.]

jpulley worked! Thanks again! Very excited to shave some years on my f150 too

[@jpulley]

@@xJL. checkout my video on the headlight upgrade. The two mods together make the truck look 10 years newer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6GxmmCap5Wtmtk

Will this fit 2005 ford expedition

[@Okc91FAN]

I got 5.4 v8 tritan but it’s not 4wD

[@martinhaugen9261]

I installed a button by the wheel. Popo don't like me driving around with the orange lights :(

[@Zaanjo]

had to cut 2 bolts off mine too lol

[@powerwh33ls]

Great video. I recently put in the same headlight upgrade that you did. I plan on doing the raptor grill next. I had a hard time removing the spider headlights in the middle of the install.....I actually broke the bottom clip while trying to take it off. Do you have any tips on how to remove the spider headlights? The ford stock lights seemed to pull right off. Thank you for the great video, definitely gives me the confidence that I can do it myself.

[@sierra6460]

Excelente

[@kileysmith9737]

What gauge wire will we need?

[@gracinmiranda5665]

Can put a ford 2005 lariat

[@jpulley]

Yes

[@victorcervantes1988]

So where are your gloves when you need them

[@dkrawk8309]

im sorry, but it looked way better before

[@jpulley]

did you see it after I changed the headlights? I think both the headlights and the the grill needs to be upgraded for the full updated look. After headlights:kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6GxmmCap5Wtmtk&ab_channel=jpulley

[@hassanzahin7852]

First viewer.😂😂 Already three hours gone

[@drew4769]

Lol looks ridiculous

[@jpulley]

Think so? I think it looks better than that chrome grill the previous owner installed. Thanks for the view and comment anyway.

[@matthew7972]

Bro my screws for the top of the grille were not pre installed. What the hell do I do
