I ordered a things from F150 Leds and they came in today.

I removed the console, used double sided tape, and secured double tape for the LED strips.

Installed rough country tow hook shackle mounts. These were a lot easier than I thought they would be.

it’s a process - easiest way I felt to do it, flat head screw driver jammed in behind the rubber and pull down.

also when removing the bolts, remove the front one but make sure NOT to fully remove the second one. Loosen it up, and the hooks slide out.

I like the look, I also added one in the back.

Here are the links for what I added.

Love the Morimoto headlights and I replaced the grill, I really don’t like the white FORD lettering.

only issue

I put LED signal bulbs from headlight revolution (customer service left a lot to be desired)

once I got everything put back together, I realized one of the switchbacks wasn’t working.

So that will be a project for another day, oh well, I think everything looks good.

I didn't want to say anything about the white lettering, normally i like PTM stuff, but that didn't work for me - so yeah, the black plastic works better IMO too.

I'm wary of leaving anything like that in my hitch in case someone wanders off with it - i like those, though i opted for soft shackles for up front and a hitch shackle like yours when needed, all kept under the rear seat.

The hitch piece has a lock on it, but I know what you mean about the shackles, I am worried they may disappear also. Sitting at Discount Tire getting wheels and tires right now, I will post pics later today.

Put the new running boards on, also running board leds, and painted my exhaust black.

have to admit I really like the truck without running boards, funny my wife hated the way it looked.

Wheels and tires 285/65/20 with XD Heist -18 mm offset

No rubbing

also took it to a local shop and got an alignment done.

odd seeing someone else driving my truck, before wheels and tires and after.

I actually think I could have gone bigger (100% sure I could have) didn’t want to because of the weight. Went with BFG KO2

Getting a load of progress made here

No rubbing on full lock? (that's where it'll rub if it's going to, and, in reverse oddly)

flvol77

Nope, no rubbing on full lock, discount put one wheel on and tested it before moving forward because I told them I wasn't going to touch the crash bars, so if they rubbed we would get a different sized tire.

I trying to figure out the next mods lol - the truck is still under warranty until May of 22 so I will probably wait until then for a tune (although the service manager at my Ford Dealership told me that he could care less if I had a tune on my truck, if something went wrong he was going to fix it, as long as it wasn't something I did that was stupid), throttle body, etc - I am going to have my resonator removed, I should have bought the attack Borla exhaust. I know the attack has a resonator and no muffler. But, I think I will keep the muffler and remove the resonator.

I may add lighted vanity mirrors, new speakers are coming, I put in a pair about 3 years ago and they don't sound as good as I want. Raptor steering wheel, probably the Raptor 3rd brake light, I like the smoked one I have but it ends there, I don't like the light it produces.

Back up lights (from F150 LEDs)

Down the road maybe the Amp Research running boards.

Right now it's about our pool, and getting the backyard done, we may be doing a hot tub and of course, we want a hot springs and they aren't cheap. lol

Not sure I will ever be done and then it will be time for a new one.

BTW my favorite mod, that pedal commander, wow the gas pedal response is flat out crazy.

Gettin' it done! A man after my own heart. Truck looks good.
