Default 2008 F-150 Supercrew Lariat

Bought this truck back in November of 2011 and still a work in progress but getting it to where I want it to be slowly but surely...

The truck was completely stock when I got it with the lariat chrome package and a roll n lock box cover. It's completely fully loaded with sunroof, factory navigation system and mobile ease phone system.

A month after I had it I got the front windows tinted to match the rear windows. It is VERY close to the factory spec. I also night shaded my tail lights with 2 light coats for a custom look.

It stayed this way for quite a while as I searched the forums and came up with what look I was goin for. After seeing how good FFBoomers and Backwoodsboy trucks have turned out I decide that's the look I'm after.

I've also done the GOTTS mod to help wake it up and installed a Flowmaster 50 series cat back SISO exhaust system and am really happy with the way it sounds.

Just recently i installed the smittybilt light bar with 4x Hella 55w driving lights, Harley style headlights and OEM towing mirrors.

I ended up using a zip cut on the old grill surround tabs to take it off, non-salvageable

Its been a while since I posted any updates. Heres a few more upgrades I've done to the truck. Added a 2.5" level up front with 3" blocks in the rear. Added the factory towing mirrors. Installed the Hella rock guards. Installed smoked vent visors on side windows. The last thing I've done to it is gave it some new bigger shoes. Went with a Goodyear Duratracs 295/65/R18.

Thanks, I've been slowly de-chroming one piece at a time. Started with the mirrors and then got rid of the chrome grill surround. I plan on leaving a bit of chrome on it.
