LOL-ended up throwing the 3rd brake light LED in the Trash Can, the business I ordered it from didn't want it back.

Good looking truck! Can't wait to get my grille shell paint matched. And the smoked cab lights will be ordered today. Do you plan on lifting?

SWBF150

No Lifts for this one.
I don't want it parked outside in this Hot Southwest Sun, more so with a Red Truck.
I really want it parked in my Garage and it just barely fits as Stock(height). This 16F350 willl only be used as my tow Vehicle or to get my atv to the riding area.

I am using the WELD-AHP5 LED Bulbs for my Smoked Roof Lens, the LED Bulbs that came with the Smoke Lens were too dim, the WELD-AHP5 LEDs are perfect and Bright and they don't get hot enough to melt your smoked Roof Lens. I got mine out of Superbrightleds.

I didn't order bulbs, just recon smoked lenses

Added the Anzo third brake light in clear lens, works great, nice and Bright but I did have to pay a little more for it. It too has the hum after I turn the truck off but nothing like the no-name brand 3rd brake lite I tried the first time.
I also added a front bed rail protector and took the plastic full size tailgate protector off, this plastic tailgate protector covers the entire tailgate. When Ford sprays-in the Bedliner, Ford adds the Plastic protector to the tailgate but Ford leaves out a metal piece for the upper tailgate, that metal piece is around $100 to replace.
My ATV takes up allot of space in the Bed, just barely fits in the shortbox 6.75' foot size with the tailgate closed, so every inch I can gain is a plus. The Plastic tailgate protector was costing me a little over a inch, I installed a Black Diamond metal tailgate protector in place of the plastic protector, this Metal tailgate protector covers the missing section on the tailgate. I weather strip all around this Metal tailgate protector, didn't use the 3M tape provided that was already mounted to the lower end on the protector, just used sheet metal screws to tighten the metal protector down.
Same with the Front Bed Rail Protector, I didn't think the already installed 3M tape would stick to the spray-in bed liner, so I used sheet metal screws to mount it as well.
I then mounted Aluminum Angle to the new Tailgate protector (top of Tailgate) to protect it from my ATV ramps cutting into/scratching the new tailgate protector ( the new black diamond metal tailgate protector goes over a section of the Ford Stock top plastic tailgate protector ), a Aluminum Angle as well for the front protector in case the front bumper on the atv rubs against the front rail protector.

Here are the Pic's of the Guards I installed for the Bed.
If the tied down atv moves against the front Bed rail the Aluminum Angle will take the beating instead of the shiny stainless steel bed rail.
The rear Aluminum angle on the tailgate lip and mounted to the black diamond tailgate guard does the same thing but as a additional protector from the atv ramps scratching up the Black Diamond guard.
