1 inch BORA wheel spacers in the rear since my drivers side tire was rubbing the shock when I would turn or the suspension would flex, started happening after I put the Raptor shocks on.

Looks great. I'm not a huge fan of spacers, but they look like they worked out really well on your truck.

Depending on how you feel about them, it may be a good to look at some flares like the LUND SX.

Here's my new to me 2011 xl 3.7 with 250,000 miles. It's been well taken care of. Not as fancy as most of the trucks posted, but i like it. I have installed the tube style running boards but i don't have an updated pic yet.



Rustoleum silver Peel coat painted filler panel and grille surround.
Inexpensive way of making my XL look a little more upper class, lol. I had originally painted just the filler panel. after comments, plus me thinking about it, the grille surround needed to done to finish the look. As much as I would like to have the factory painted pieces, I'd rather spend that money on other items. With the peel coat , I can touch it up at any time. This cost $10 as compared to probably $500 to get the factory pieces, then have them painted.

Future upgrades will be some wheels... probably going to go with a set of takeoffs from someone going with aftermarket rims.

I also plan on upgrading the radio with an aftermarket system with navigation and backup camera.

Hitting the road for the weekend.



All set up.



First in line.



Ready to enjoy the show.



Let's see if the wife can stay awake for 2 movies.

Not today, but Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This drive-in theater has been open for 6 or 7 years. We were here 2 years ago and it was sold out then also. Makes you wonder why so many of them have closed. Good family fun.

Ours (been around for more years than me...) just closed. Everyone says it was because they still had reel film and not digital and the cost to convert was just to much. Yet every night from season opener to season closing they were either close to full or full....

Funny the day they closed....the dozers came and started a new sub division..

Love your truck by the way...

The one in Wichita lost the previous owner. He left it to the manager and they spent 3 million to go digital. There was some other stuff as well, but still a big chunk of change. I'm pretty sure it's one of the last few drive ins around. Which sucks. Triple features for what it costs for 1 movie at regular theaters. Best part, they have the original ads before the movie and during intermission. Brings back childhood memories.

Our local drive in has been open for more than 60 years and claims it has the biggest screen in the US at 6240 sqft screen. I love it, for $10 you get 3 movies and they are generally the top movies in the theatres at the time (currently Storks, Sully, and Suicide Squad).

Drive-Ins are an absolute blast!

Dropped the truck off for some O2 sensor recall work. This hopefully will get me to pass the inspection so I can get my TX registration taken care of.
