Talking RyanD's F150 Build!!!

Well I decided to start my build thread with my new wheels. I'm planning on putting a 6" BDS lift on 35's. As time goes on I'll continue to update this thread with anything I add to my F150. As for previous modifications on the truck, just ask and I will add them to this as well if they aren't already covered in late threads.

Here we go, I currently have a 06 F150 Lariat 5.4L V8. I just put on a set of RBP 94r(Black w/ chrome inserts) wheels. Here are before and after pics.

Before:


After:



I'm sorry about the pic quality when I uploaded it, the quality went way down.

Today I installed some LEDs in my center console. I removed the inside console.
Then I stuck about a foot of LEDs under the right side.
I ran the wires to a normally-closed momentary switch and installed it on the back lip of the console.
Then I tapped into the 12v+ from my front cig. lighter and ran wires under the console around to the back of the switch with plugs if I ever needed to disconnect the lights for maintenance.
And here is the final product! It's much brighter in person.

I've seen this done before. Very useful mod since there's absolutely no lighting in that black hole from Ford. Good job

Nice looking truck! I want to do a retrofit soon. How hard was it so far and what projectors are you running?
