Thanks for the compliments! I'm picking up some 75w140 and friction modifier tomorrow for the rear dif, I'm gonna change that and tint my tails as soon as its nice outside and I get some free time.

I like those smoked led tails on your old truck, I might get something like that down the road but for right now I already have the vht from doing the last truck so its basically a free mod.

I've never seen tails done like that before? Any night time pics?

Haha the power rear window is exactly why I bought this particular F150 over the other one I was looking at

Yep, those look nice.

Called Northstar Ford here in Duluth, they wanted almost $200 to change the rear dif fluid. So instead I am changing it myself and with the money I saved I am getting my windows tinted on Monday and I picked up some vent visors as well. So for the same price the dealer would have charged for just the dif fluid change I was able to buy everything I needed for the dif fluid change, vent visors, and tint. Not a bad deal

Need opinions though, the vent visors I purchased are the standard "smoke" color. Should I leave them or should I paint them AZ beige to match the truck? Anybody have pics of their vent visors PTM'd?

Truck looks good. As for the shocks, If they still work there's no reason to change them unless you dont like the little bit of rust on there. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
