Can we get a pic of this at night please? It looks great!
In the mean time, I forgot to post up the pics of my gauges. Just the overlay from US Speedo. I got it from Autoanything. I went with the SS Blue lights. I think it looks much better. I would have loved to swap over the lariat instrument cluster, but that would have ended up costing way way too much. The cluster, then the mileage programming, then the SS overlay. Far too much money. These look great. My wife really likes it as well.
I will try to get a better pic, I was facing the sun yesterday when I snapped this one.

What percent tint did you use? I want mine to match the back windows but the guy at the tint shop said it would be illegal and I wouldn't be able to get an inspection sticker. Said he would still do it if it's what I wanted though.

I will try to get a photo at night. Not sure if my iphone will do that or not... I will see
20% matches the factory rears. I have had mine on trucks for over 15 years, never a problem. 35% is legal here in KS.

Tom thanks! You guys are great. Great price and great service.
I do have one quick question though. I could just call in if I need to. But was there supposed to be a part for my gear indicator on the gauges? I have the column shifter and was just curious if there was a PRD321 overlay as well?
Thanks

Got the endlinks and sway bar bushings put on! Truck rides like brand new now. My shocks and struts are new last year, and now the sway bar is tightened up with poly bushings and moog endlinks.
My old ones weren't really that bad. I have seen a lot worse. But the new poly bushings are much more firm. The endlinks are tighter as well.
Overall the job took me a bit over an 45 min.
The drive is tighter and overall refreshed. I had just a small judder that is now gone. I am very particular on how my truck rides and drives. Now it is just so! I would highly recommend doing this if you are looking to refresh your truck. Obviously the new shocks did the most good for me. However this brought it back up that extra 20%

Got new nerf bars installed the other day. Sold the old ones as well so I am only out $40 and the hour it took me to install them.
Here is a link to what I bought. I really like them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/331132664019?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
They are different, but I like that they are AL. Plus they have a nice easy surface for my kids to get in and out of.
I will have to get some pics of them installed on my truck.

Truck is going into the shop tomorrow. To have my Katzkin interior put in!
I will show some pics when it is finished. Total cost will be $1500. That is with heated seats installed in the front. I also will have a new drivers foam bottom installed as well. I ordered that on ebay from ford a few months ago. Mine is in good shape, I just want to have it feel like new if I am doing it.
Also a quick question. I have searched and searched and must not be typing it in right, but can a 2009+ F150 steering wheel and air bag be installed in my 2006? Will the cruise still work? I don't care about the radio controls. Just curious. I would like a leather steering wheel and my local Junk yard has a lot more 2009+ then 2004-2008s.
