And so it begins.........
Just finished at the dealership getting all the paperwork sorted out. I ordered this truck at the end of February and it arrived this week.

Went out to take pictures of it, because even when I pick it up the build will have already begun. Dealership is swapping out the chrome bumpers for painted ones to match.

Picking it up next week and it goes straight to Line-X the next morning.

 

Nice truck man. Pretty color
What's your overall vision of the truck?

 

im not going heavy. After purchasing this I don’t have the money anymore.
I’ll be swapping headlights and taillights. Adding some graphics. Possible rim and tire combo later on.
If I can find some simple “on the cheap” mods I will. But nothing major.

 

I've always loved the 500a lariats, due to the painted door handles and mirror caps. They are the perfect amount of chrome with just grille and bumpers. I also like the dark grey in the rim alot better than the previous silver. I know the grey in the raptor center caps may be darker but I think raptor center caps would look good. Nice truck!

 

Nice looking truck, pretty color. Glad you mentioned about changing the tails. Post pics as you progress along.

 

Picked up the truck this weekend, so finally have it in hand. Here it is with the new bumpers on.

I already have a few things in my garage to get started on, but waiting until Tuesday when it comes back from Line-X.

 

Love this color. Im torn between this and silver when my lease is up.

 

Just got it back from Line-X and really like the job they did. Also quickly threw on the stubby Antenna and no loss in reception at all.

I'll put on the tonneau cover this weekend and next weekend I'm hoping to get started on the heavier stuff (headlights, tail lights, grill).

 

Nice start and looking good!

 

Got my Anzo tail lights installed last night. They look really sharp. I like that they are flush mount as I was bothered by this on some of the other tail lights.


As in other pictures I have seen, they appear orange in pictures. But they are not in real life. They are a nice red.

Night shot of the lights. Now you can see how red they outline is.
