Thanks guys.

I'm debating on offroad bumpers front and rear. Plenty more ideas in the works. Suggestions are always welcome.

The lights you put under the truck, how'd that work?
Wired them with the interior lights?
Which lights too? Online shopping?

I wired them into the interior lights so they come on when I unlock the truck and fade out just like factory. Here is the link to the superbrightled's site.

Are your tails chrome and you just tinted from the outside? The pics almost make them look like tinted HD's.

They are the factory chrome tails. I taped off the red and reverse section and painted over the chrome areas on the lens with a semi flat black and then nite shaded the entire lens.

They look great man. Your truck is an inspiration. I looked all over the web for grey F150s that had the right "thing" going and you got it man.

Any tips on the niteshade? I have problems getting a consistent blend with that stuff. And did you end up with a tape line going from the black to the shaded area? On my amber lenses I ended up having to use scotchbrite on the niteshade, then clear, then do it again to get any kind of consistent color/ sheen. I just can't bring myself to spend $ on HD tails if I can DIY. It's better when you can say "yeah I did that".

Why did you decide to pull off the thin blue line overlays? And are you in L.E.?
