Some blue flame metallic mirror caps to match would look great I think.

I had them wrapped gloss black and just pulled them because they were peeling. I was thinking about either finding matching not blue wrap or straight up sanding them down and painting them. I'll do them again when I do the side emblems.

I agree! The hard part is keeping it clean with my wheel/tire setup haha.

Haha I've been itching to but I'm scared they'll come out looking disastrous.
I kind of like the stance and don't know how well they would fit considering I have OEM flares

With the black decal and all the black bits on your truck the plain unpainted black bushwackers for example would look good and they are significantly cheaper then going PTM.

I like your stance as well but I like to keep my truck clean so if I had that much offset throwing rocks and mud and salt on the paint I would get some fenders. Then raptor steps but that's me!

I recently picked up a set of custom vinyl wrapped emblems from Moody Blue and I think they came out absolutely killer.
I also pulled off the satin black tailgate strip in preparation for putting the rear emblem on, because I knew I wouldn't be able to get the emblem off without breaking it once it went on.




Here is the completed tailgate.




Closeup of the emblems, I got satin black to match the color I used to paint the surround. They're usually done in matte black. In the sunlight you can easily distinguish the gloss Ford and the satin black background, but it's a little harder with overcast skies.

So I found out that these trucks let you hit the limiter in manual mode today. Sounds pretty good on the 2-3 shift at limiter. Ran hard put away wet.
