Hey man, just came across your build thread. Nice looking mods done to it. Just got a 2016 F150 XLT and doing some research/ideas from this forum on the mods I want to do. Where did you get your new grill from? I went to the Galaxy Moto ebay page but they only have the one that says Raptor listed. If you don't mind I may pick your brain via PM for ideas/thoughts.

Go Texans!

Oh and I got the grille from galaxymoto. You have to message him and ask for the letter and light pack. He'll work with you from there.

Looks great, what brand wheels? I had XD Monsters on my '06 Lariat, and they made the truck. Just picked up my '16 XLT Sport about a week ago. Wheels may be in the future, but other stuff takes precedence right now.

Thanks! Congrats on the truck! The wheels are Fuel Vapors.

I like your truck - I've got a 15 4x2 lariat and was considering doing the same thing - don't really want/need 4x4 but want the look of the leveled truck and bigger tires - did you have the 2" front lift installed at a shop or did you do it yourself?

I'm in houston area also so was curious as to where you had it done and approx cost.

That steering wheel gun holster nice also - does it fit a full size or just compact/subcompact?

Go Texans!

Thanks! My dad knows a guy and he did most of the installation and I kinda just assisted. If I had to choose a shop to take it to I'd probably go to All Out Offroad. A friend of mine had some work done on his Jeep there and he was completely satisfied. I've also read a lot of other good things about them online.

The holster I have is for a compact/subcompact, but they make a few different sizes to fit almost any handgun. Check out their website for a size chart...http://www.gumcreekcustoms.com/Vehic...-Combo-p8.html

Cool - Thanks!

I'm tempted to try the 2" level myself but we'll see.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check out all out - look like they've got a shop up in the north suburbs.

Thanks for putting up pics etc - I"ve been looking all over trying to find someone who did what I want to do - it's a big help in my decision making process.

Again - Great looking truck!
