Well. I bought this truck at 49K mi and still making payments so mods are slow. Most of my coin is spent on my SAS'd Ranger project but I can't stand driving around town knowing that other people have the same truck as me. lol So this only being my 2nd F150, I'm still learning, so any tips or cheap/free mods that you guys know, throw it on here. lol I'm a Ranger guy. I could talk about every inch of that truck but I'm loving my fullsize. So help me learn about this machine.

Info: 4.6 XLT Triton 4x4 Auto 4door 255/70/R17 3.73ratio w/LS

Mods
-Edge Evo programmer
-Dumped Thrush Turbo Muffler (SI/SO)
-Blacked Ford Oval
-3" HBS spacer lift(may remove soon)
-100watt Offroad Lights

Hi, great looking truck you got there! I see you have lights mounted behind your grill, but they are a little low. I also did this but instead of mounting them where you did I used a piece of angle iron and used the existing screws behind the black foam/rubber piece (just has to be maneuvered around). I am fairly certain they are the existing headlight screws but they work well with the angle iron and mounting off road lights. This will make the lights sit perfectly behind the grill and you will get the full effect of the lights! angle iron is cheap, you'll just have to cut it to size.

Haha...I literally did that. I have angle iron laying around. I mounted to that vertical piece in front of the radiator but I'm not to confidant with it. I def want it higher. I just put them in last night and installed the switch. Then ran out of daylight. I'll look into mounting them like you did. But, Where is the best place to run the wiring to inside the cab without looking too rough?

I put it through the hole in the fire wall up under the steering column and mounted the switch to the left of my steering wheel and just wraped up all the excess chords and zip tied them out of sight under the dash!

edit: as for the wiring under the hood i just went zip tie happy and made sure they werent touching anything hot and were out of the way of everything and secure

UPDATE: Mounted it same as eddleston213 recommended. Much sterdier and happier with the look. Thanks man!

Looks great man!! Glad i could help . Have you gotten a chance to see if you're getting more out of the lights??

Kingoverace

Yes They definealtey put out more. I was unable to get a pic with my phone though of a night shot with and without them on. In fact I def can't use them on the road they're so bright.

So started messing with Plastidip finally. Ehh, I'd rather paint but it's cool that this stuff is easily removable. Heres what I am debating on doing. Thoughts???

Can you post some pics of them on your truck? I have been thinkin about doing this to my wheels and not sure of it yet.

Kingoverace

I havn't done it yet either. The tire on the right, I actually only plastidipped. But now I'm debating on just painting them. So I only have the 1 done. The other rims on my truck are still untouched.
