Tailgate, handle, and emblem mount painted matte black

2" wheel spacers all around made the tires just flush with the edge of the flares, no pics yet.

That licence plate :eek:

Love the hood. Looking mean!

No offense, but never been a fan of the FORD grills on non-Raptors.
Do love your stickers.

Stopped by the dealership to find out what my truck was worth on trade...drove a 2018 XLT SCREW 3.5 EB with the 10spd. Wow. Truck felt so light and agile compared to my 13', and sport mode felt faster than my tuned 13'. My factory warranty was about 1000 miles from being up, i had 3 warning lights on the dash (traction, hill decent, and brakes) due to some sensor that was NOT the abs sensor that the scanner said it was, also several body work issues from wear and tear, not to mention spots where the paint was beginning to bubble with rust starting beneath from stone chips etc. Knew that a year or 2 down the road it was going to look bad.
Lastly, not sure of the cause, but when I go WOT above 3500rpm was getting a real bad stutter/misfire. Having recently seen the pics posted by FullRace of the inside of a head with no catch can made me wonder if my valves and plugs were all gummed up or something. Nearly 60k on it.

Anyway, the dealership probably didn't take it WOT on their test drive. They gave me 27k toward the used shadow black 18 XLT 4x4' for 33k. My red 13' had every option. The new truck is pretty bare. No rear window, sunroof, tow package, leather, console, screen, Nav, Sony, etc. To sweeten the deal the dealership let me keep my BFG KO2s with 5k miles on them and 17' FX4 wheels, so I'll be doing a level and throwing those on once the factory tires are shot.

I already really miss my race red though :(

And so it begins all over again......congrats on the new ride.

New build thread?

Yeah I'll probably eventually get stupid and buy the whole Full-Race catalog. At a minimum I'll level lift so I can throw my 35x12.5 BFG KO2s on with the black FX4 wheels. I'll link a build thread if I start that way. Put on a bed cover and a swing out tool box, and tints this week hopefully. Ordered some side steps too.

The circle of life! Nice looking new truck
