Alright so I've realized that I'm posting threads about this... so I'm just going to put it all into one!
Fixing up my red F150 with 220k miles AND STILL RUNNING STRONG. Here's where I'm at.

Started bone stock then added a 4in rough country lift with 31' mud terrain tires. Recently added shaded corner and bumper lights with a smoked headlight and hid kit on the way

Not knocking the truck, but I think the factory wheel look better. Or maybe got new rims with chrome/polished center.. The siver in the wheel are seems to blend truck together.

Still good looking truck, but the silver makes the red look brighter. Or is truck dirty in last couple pics??

This pics sets truck off,,,

In that pic the truck just got a detail clean. I haven't washed the truck in a while. Plus it was a cloudy day. I'm painting the truck though, which is why I bought black rims. I'm doing a silver metallic and going to accent things like my mirrors and bumpers etc in black.
