Wow Zach, you've been at it! Must have some decent temps your way. The red one?

Even with 7.5" lift and 37s girls that are 5'1 can hop in my truck lol.

That's an option for sure, but I'm thinking of trying the dreaded PD on them first, to see if I like it.

Yes, there are two versions. The original version run wires into passenger side cab where you tap into the 4 trigger wires in the footwell.

On the OBD2 version two wires get fished into the cab on the drivers side and then you solder or splice in an OBD2 plug. This will plug into your OBD2 port, this will give the door open/close signal.

Other than that the two systems are the same. There is a brain you put in engine bay and hook up to battery.

Looks good Dan. I used PD on a set of wheels for my other truck, that the clearcoat was coming off. I ran them through one winter with zero problem, then sold them to another guy that's running them right now, with no problem. I think it's mostly in the prep, and using enough. I've thought about PDing my wheels and boards, and maybe even the grille and bumpers. Just trying to makeup my mind as to what direction to take the 150 now. Oh well, it doesn't look like it's going to warm up for awhile yet, so I've got plenty of time to see what I want to do. Screw this winter crap!!!LOL
Where in Ontario are ya?

i'm in the london area, i honestly love pd however alot of people have made comments on my car after the 2012 f150 which was a 2014 focus ST that i dipped my wheels and tinted the tails with black plastidip and glossed them with the glossifier. on my current truck the 2014 i dipped only the centre of the grille around the ford emblem. i really don't like the design of the 2014 however it fits my light bar perfectly
