Removed the 20" black American Racing wheels that were on the truck when I bought it and replaced them with some 22" Roush wheels. 2" Drop Shackles are next!

Extremely nice, I need to sub to more forums to get looks of earlier model trucks. Clean and mean.

I made the grill emblem. I bought a tailgate F150badge off EBay and ground the back flat, plastidipped the two pieces white and black. Then I traced the outline of the original emblem on a piece of plastic, cut it out, smoothed the edges and plastidipped it black. Then taped the letters to the plastic piece and then taped that to the grill. I used 3M trim tape.

My favorite mod is my ball hitch.

I'm really wanting to do a set of emblems. I want white emblems with ford logo and outline in tan to match the truck. Really don't wanna pay $100 for them though. Looks really good!!

My rear emblem is a vinyl decal off EBay that you carefully apply. They have different color combinations and different sizes. Not sure if they have tan.
