Looking for the Z71 badge in gloss black.  Anyone have any good sites with good quality badging?  Also, for the life of my I can't think of the name of the rubber blocks you can buy to cover up hole on top of the bed.  Thanks for your help.  Had the truck 1 day and the modding begins.

After buying two set off Amazon that were absolute junk, I went with the OEM Black Badges and are pretty happy with them.  They are 2 toned - Gloss & Matte.  They are about $26 a piece.  The other photo is the part numbers (Yes, there are right and left badges)

Anyone have any good luck with badge on amazon or ebay?

 

I have on both sites. I got the Black w/Red insert Z71 badge from Amazon and a black "Texas Edition" badge from ebay.

In both cases the badges were a perfect match to the original. The Z71 badge was matt and I would have preferred gloss... gloss is available but I just wasn't paying attention when I ordered it. It was one of the very first things I did when I got the truck.

 

All that said, I just ordered the badges that DCC_318 just  mentioned. I like the idea of them being dual finish (matte and gloss) and I never did care for the red.

 

To sum it up, you can find good luck on either of those sites... just pay attention to what the descriptions are and check comments from buyers.

I too went with the OEM badges, they pair nicely with the black badge kit as the RST is two toned too.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?

      The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.

      I had a boat for many years, never had a problem even with a 2 wheel drive 93 Silvy for 20 years. Good tires, proper use of the gas pedal worked.
