Default 96grimreaper's 2018 Ruby Red SE

Well, back again for....I'm not sure how many times.

Last time I was active I had the 16 F250 which I sold to free up some cash since we started a house build. Well in the mean time I had an 04 Marauder, 11 Crown Vic and a built motor/supercharged 03 Mustang. Moved into the new house in November and decided it was time to buy another truck.

6 hour round trip and picked up a Ruby Red 2018 XLT sport special edition. Equipped with the 5.0 and 302A package. Completely stock minus 35% tint on the front windows.

Plans:
Remove 35% tint and put 20% all around
Level
Raptor beadlock take offs
35's
Exhaust
Morimoto 3.0 headlight bulbs
Diode Dynamics SS3 fogs
Husky weather mats
Leds everywhere

I'm undecided on the special edition decals and whether or not to keep them. The sport decals on the bed are going though.

Decided to give up a little sleep to get the wheels and tires on. Also pulled the bed sport stickers. Absolutely thrilled with the look.








Also our new to us 19 Expedition. Just tinted the windows, going to throw the 20's from the 150 on it.

Nice looking truck bud. I have the black version. I have mixed emotions about the decals on mine as well. Wonder if they will start to fall off someday.

appreciate it. I think for now I'll keep them on. This way when I'm bored later on I can pull them off and change it up.

Picked up the raptor wheels today. One bolt....on damn bolt is missing from the beadlocks.

Windows tinted. 20% all around. Fronts now read 15% and rears read 5%. Stole a pic from the installer, I'll get more soon.


315/70/17 Ridge Grapplers ordered
2.25 Ready lift level also ordered.

Looks good.

I removed the side and back SE decals and also the sport on my 18 SE . I left the hood decal.

It cleans it up a little but still has the SE look. Alot of guys do the same thing.

Tint looks good. Mine came with dark tint all around and it looks good on my black truck. I’m gonna leave my decals on but I’m thinking about removing the sport 4x4 on both sides. Just looks out of place.

Wow, you are back! Very nice truck and there was a set of beadlocks close to me for cheap, but I see you already snagged a set!

Thank you, I actually considered pulling them all but the hood decal. That'll probably be the route I take when I get tired of the side stripes.

Thank you, I think the black trucks look good with the matte black decals.

I can't stay away. It may be the ones I just picked up. He was from Lawrence and met me in Emporia.
