Default Just looking for your thoughts...

Hey, hope all is well!
I bought my 2010 F150 and have yet to do any mods because of the fact I'm going to Iraq in a little more than a week, ha.
I have a list of stuff I'm wanting to get but wanted to know what you thought.
Regarding the rims I'm not sure if I want black or chrome rims. And also not sure if I should lower the truck or put the leveling kit on it (which I think I'd prefer). Also can I get your thoughts on the running boards, ha. Hope I can add some amusement in your reading through this lol.

HID's (Head/Fog)
Tinted windows
Chrome Pillar Post, 4 Pcs.
Stainless Steel Rocker Panels
PUTCO® - Element™ Chrome Window Visors
BROADFEET® - Bull Bar.
RECON® - RED LED 3rd Brake Lights
Chrome Clear LED Tail Lights
Universal Fire & Ice LED Tailgate Bar
RECON® - 194 Type High Power L.E.D. Bulb(x4)
License Plate Lamp. Bulb Type: 194 Wedge(x2)
Ford F150 4wd & 2wd - 2" Front Leveling Kit
KMC SLIDE rims (24inch) Toyo Proxes ST II
Gibson® - Swept Side Exhaust; 4.6L Models
Tow Mirrors

Have a good one.

Best of luck brother I just got back from my second deployment this last year. It has calmed down quite a bit over the years. Keep your head down! Oh and why did you buy a truck right before you deploy?? Just curious

Oh and I like a leveling kit for sure and depending on your paint and whether it is two tone or if it has the chrome package I cant give you a positive answer on rims. More info please

Here's the link to my page on here of photos.

I bought the truck and then got the news of deployment. I was contemplating on giving the truck back but I got a great deal. Sticker was 36 and I got it for 27. I got the incentive stuff, talked them to 32, then once it was set in stone I threw in the 'oh yeah I have a trade in' line. Told them I wanted 5k for the cobra...after a day of them 'thinking' I got what I wanted.
What unit are you attached to? This will be my first deployment, looking forward to it.

Hey Brother, I wish you the best of luck on your upcoming tour. I just got back in July myself. Everything you listed sounds pretty good to me. I would drop the chrome pillar bits and change the wheel size to 20 inch. Additionally, tossing on a leveling kit would look great. I'm just not into ridiculously large rims. Again good luck and we'll keep you in our prayers .

Best of luck to you....I'm down to 2 mos. left here in AFG.

Go with black.

Oh, did you need any resistors for the license plate LEDs? What were the other 4 LEDs for as indicated in your sig? I'm trying to get everything ready to mod my truck when I get back to the world. Thanks!

Have a safe 2 months. I'm thankful to go to the vacation spot, ha.
I was on the rock that I was going to get the leveling kit with 24 inch rims either chrome or black. I'm still on the rock for the leveling kit and now liking the black rims idea. My problem is now that I've seen a few 4x2 trucks on here with the mud tires and all on it and I sorta like it. Now I'm stuck on that. Atleast I have a year to decide haha!

I was looking at the LED lights for the license plate. I had them for my Cobra and liked the look alot. The 4 additional LED's are for the interior lights. I assumed it was 4 but actually think I miss counted.

I think I might set my truck apart from the rest by putting on the 2010 Mark LT grille haha! Have you seen that thing?!
