Honestly material would probably be a couple hundred and x2 that in labor, i would do it but unfortunately im in NJ.
Honestly I would probably pay somethin around that to ship it to me

Cool man hope you stick around. Awesome looking truck too. You should be good with those tires for the snow. Did you rattle can the whole truck? Paint looks really good.

You should start making them and selling them to guys on here. Im sure a lot of people would buy it.

Theres a guy that makes the black FORD logo for the grill like the raptor has.

That grill is a must on your truck. It turned out pretty sweet.

Welcome Aboard - for a Gen 10 that was about to become a part-out of a hunk of scrap metal, you did well to bring her back! Do the basic 100K service (plugs, wires, fluids, and cleaning of Throttle Body and other sensors, and chances are you might be driving the 150 as opposed to the Goat. FYI, properly tuned, etc, expect an average of 13 to 16 combined MPG (with the 4.6) and no better.

You've got a great platform to start with - a super find at the price! Plenty of partouts on Craigslist in case you wanted new rims, tires, interior, etc. Enjoy the ride!
