Well I got my new taillights from Shakezone today. Easy as heck to install and look A LOT better than the chrome IMO.
Chrome old tails
Take out these to 8mm bolts.
Pull on the tails straight and aft. It could take some force, DO NOT use a flathead. It will mess your tails or paint up on the truck. I didn't do it, but just a heads up.
Commect your wires and lights back up, line the prongs up with the guide hole and push the light in, re install the 8mm bolts, and you're good to go!!

Got my LED lights from Jon_To today. Very easy install once you figure out what goes where. These things are BRIGHT! the reverse lights are intense, you can actually see everything in the cab now. Its great. Definitely worth the money!

Is the opening in the bed with the tailights removed large enough to fit a HID ballast inside of? I saw a 15W HID kit on ebay the other day specifically made for the 921 bulb that goes in our reverse lights and was thinking of pulling the trigger on it, but I haven't pulled the lights off to see if there's room for a ballast in there.

Thanks! What I'm looking to get does in fact have a slim ballast, I'll have to give it a try, I'll be sure to post a write up somewhere on here if it all works out. Love the truck, keep up the good work!

Intercooler in. Downloaded my new tune from Livernois, test drove it, and love it. Spools up a lot faster. The power is right there now. Love it!

So guys, I need some suggestions for wheels. I'm down to 3 different ones...
Method Race Wheels - "the standard" (18x9)
SVT Raptor OEM wheels
FX4 Black OEM wheels
I'm torn between the 3. Post your thoughts!
