Wow and thanks Husker! That means a lot coming from you. I am completely flattered and humbly accept your esteemed and coveted nomination.
2016 XL FX4, Coyote V8, RCSB, Shadow Black
My goal was a simple example of a working truck that I use as a first responder which means getting to the job in a hurry in all kinds of weather. I also bird hunt and may go off road to a firing range. I like a RCSB and use the crossover tool box for my long guns. SB's are great in the woods. I wanted it to look like everything I did to the truck could have come from the factory.
I believe it met all my goals because folks actually stop me and ask me if it's some kind of special edition truck from Ford. Thank you for your support and I feel like I'm in some tall cotton here with these other GREAT examples of quality Ford trucks!
Here is a list of my mods:
20" Black Ford Racing Wheels..275/65R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers..Rough Country 2.5" front level
Westin Contour Bull Bar
Northern (Better Built) crossover tool box
Access Tool Box Tonneau cover
Cravenspeed BMG .50 stubby antenna
4x4TruckLED's back-up bulbs and center brake light cluster and tag lights
Lund 4" Oval Nerf Bars
32% side and rear window tint

"Customization"
The goal for me was to get a truck as close to what I wanted right from the get go. The "plan" was to do little modifications, and be happy with a new truck that had "everything" I wanted or needed. The I read a lot of what other, like minded, kind of crazy, a little OCD, people just like me were doing. Still not "done", but who is?
