Well, I posted on Saturday that I bought it. I took possession of it Tuesday (Free Leather & Liner) and did my first thing...I installed a trailer hitch. I also ordered plasti-dip to do the wheels and the badges on the body, and I'll be changing the front grill out soon for a Raptor style grille. Window tint is this weekend as well.

 

Get blistein 5100 rear shocks ... cheap easy to install and I wish I did it years ago when I first got my truck

 

I drilled a hole on each end of the board centered just above each tiedown that was just a little smaller than a couple of 2 1/2 in. long thumb bolts I already had. Then I ran the thumb bolts through some 1 in. long plastic spacers that I already had laying around, then I screwed the thumb bolts into the boards until they were snug. The board already fit pretty snug but the thumb bolts keep it from sliding out of place. I stapled some very thin foam padding along the side of the board that touched the front of the bed. Another alternative to the thumb bolt was a lag bolt with an eye end rather than hex head end. I had them both lying around but tried the thumb bolt first and liked it.

 

most get deeper .. not so much louder after its packed

 

Changed out my Raptor style grille lights, to the wider 3 light set from Custom Auto Works.
If anyone is interested, the narrow 3 light set up I took off are free, just PM me

Thanks Dean, I think so too.
BTW, my park lights look white for some reason, they do match pretty close though.

 

 

Just gave it a bath after a solid week or so of rain.

 

So i haven't done anything to my truck as of yet but I ordered fun things. I have a 2015 f150.im building my truck to be a a king ranch or higher.. Right now I'm ordering parts and spent my three month allowance my wife gives me. Lol so here is what I ordered so far folding tow mirrors with the cameras, sync 3 upgrade, floor shifter,and last but not least the heated and cooled seats. If I would of found this website sooner I probably would be doing things differently
