Default Just Another Stormtrooper...

Here's my Stormtrooper build...
2013 FX4, 401A Luxury Package

List of Mods from front to back:

-Westin Bull Bar (Yes, I know it doesn't offer any real protection...it's more for parking lot "bumps")
-Plasti-dipped emblems and mirror reflectors
-Headlamp HID bulbs upgraded from 4300k stock to 6000k
-6000k HID fog lamps
-Fuel Octane Wheels: 20x9 +20mm offset
-275/55R20 Michelin LTX MS2 Tires (not the coolest looking tire, but definately the best riding)
-CravenSpeed billet shorty antenna
-N-Fab step bars
-Rugged Rear Wheel Well Liners
-FX4 Decals removed
-Flowmaster exhaust tip
-BAK Roll-X Tonneau Cover (I took my time to carefully install: used an air compressor to blow out all of the aluminum shavings, added extra weather stripping at the tailgate, and used a heat gun to get the outer seals to lay flat (it was the middle of winter at time of install)...No leaks, even when going thru high power car wash)
-Pop&Lock power tailgate lock actuator
- V-Led license plate frame.
-Westin Rear Step
-Smoked LED tail lamps
-WeatherTech Floormats
-Paint polished out with Porter Cable polisher using Meguire's Dual Action Cleaner/Polish, followed by Collinite 845

And now for the pics...

Beautiful looking truck. I was wondering what color wires did you have to tap into for the pop and lock?

Looks awesome, some bigger tires would really set it off.

Thanks! Check out this wiring sheet http://diagrams.marktoonen.nl/index....&ModelID=20440
I used a sewing needle and voltmeter to confirm.

I know...but it's a daily driver (mostly highway), and the official "road trip" vehicle of the family. The Michelin's in the stock 20" size also saved me a speedo calibration as well.

How did you go about plasti-dipping the Ford emblems? Any precautions taking for the camera? I look how it turned out. I already did the f150 badging. Wanting to do the emblems now

Same as the F150 badging. Masked the general area and spray. I sprayed over the camera and then peeled it off afterward. There is an edge, so it should tear cleanly.
