2011-2016 dash swap out???

After dropping a whole bunch of $$$ on the Ex the past year, my wife and I have decided that we are going to update the cosmetics of the Ex this year. As I was searching swapping out the front end to the 2011-16, I came across a sweet Maroon EX that CABT did. Updated the entire truck inside and out. They put in the entire dash, you know with all the bells and whistles.

I was wondering if anyone that frequents this site has done this. If I am keeping the EX for another 5-10 years, I want the comforts of a new super duty!

Odds are that CABT used a pickup front clip so that newer dash wasn't a swap-in, it was the factory dash from the base truck that was used to mate with a EX body from the B pillar back.

This is why I wouldn't attempt.

@Restlesswildman Check out this guy on FB. He makes a bunch of these superduty clusters for excursions.

it would be a cool project for the sake of something to do but I fail to see how it adds any “comfort” ?

if anything not having a payment on a new 70k super duty is comforting to me.

be sure to post pics of your projects progress, sounds fun
