Day One


Toolbox from my old truck.

SPOAT

Installed Craven Speed .50BMG antenna. Looks cool!





Added USP plugs.






Added WeatherTech floor mats.



Added Coyote badges. It's a V8 thing, you may not understand.

SPOAT

Installed Access Toolbox tonneau cover. Access builds the absolute best stuff.

SPOAT

SPOAT

Added Rough Country 2.5 inch front level. Tinted the windows.






Added Lund nerf bars. Wifey is teeny tiny and couldn't get in the truck. One bonus of the nerf bars is they protect the sides of truck from being hit by someone opening their door and hitting my door area.

My original Northern crossover tool box was high gloss black. The lid warped. They gave me a free replacement and I chose a heaver model that is flat black. I'm thinking now that the gloss looked better.


Also WeatherTech mud flaps.



Also added the Westen Contour Bull Bar

SPOAT

Westin Contour Bull Bar. It only weighs 32 pounds and has additional upper support brackets that connect to the top bumper mounts.


WeatherTech mud flaps. Quality with good looks.



Installed LED's in the reverse lights and tag lights and triple cab rear lights and upgraded the headlights to Philips Xtremes.





Read more about the Philips headlight bulbs here.

EDIT: The X-treme bulbs are a significant affordable upgrade over the stock halogen bulbs. However, I upgraded again to the Diode Dynamics SL1's. No comparison. See further on down.

Testing the LED's in the rear.

SPOAT

Added 20" matte black Ford Racing Wheels with Nitto Ridgegrapplers 275/65's E rated.

From January, 2017. Santy Claus brought me some Ford 20" racing wheels this Christmas. I went out and bit-the-bullet and got the tires I wanted. Nitto Ridge Grapplers. THE BOSS looks just right with black wheels.

I was really wondering what my lovely wife would say when I brought the truck home. She is a quiet, conservative, church going timid woman. She oftentimes frowns on my truck, motorcycle and gun expenditures.

When I returned home from the tire shop, she met me in the yard.

"That is one BAD *** truck!" she exclaimed. I guess we passed the test.

SPOAT

Sold my old wheels/tires with sensors for $500. They sold in five-minutes. Should have asked for more $$$$$$$$. LOL






Switched out the factory lug nuts for Gorilla's .

SPOAT

Modified the standard XL fold down armrest to a Lariat, leather opening armrest.









Here's the long thread on converting the arm rest....
