How did you end up mounting them on the grille? Also where did you get them?

Did my first oil change with her. Easiest oil change ever!
Tried to do a tire rotation but found my lugs are effed. The guy who did my tires said "you'll want new lugs soon, classic Ford swollen lug nuts!" but didn't believe him because he's got the biggest Toyota boner, I thought he was just being an ***.... he was right my lugs are all swollen now. Any suggestions for lugs?

Washed and waxed my baby yesterday (probably should have cleaned out the cab, that's way overdue) But when I started her up I noticed a strange noise, so walked around the truck and looked underneath and saw some moisture spraying from the muffler. Looks like a tiny pinhole sort of leak. Was wearing nice pants so I didn't get on the ground to check it out closely. Hoping its a loose clamp, but may have to upgrade my exhaust early!
On a positive note, she looks good washed and waxed!
Crappy Moto X pic, need to switch back to my Lumia Icon for my truck photos lol

Hey your truck looks great! I also have a '12 Red Candy crew long bed, but XLT and Eco. Where did you buy your lug nuts and how much? I'm also thinking of making my own raptor grill lights but want to mout them behind the grill. Might use an aluminum bracket but not sure how painting it black will hold up.

As for the lights, I wanted them behind my grille but the grill I have doesn't really let that happen well. Also the prefab kits dont fit my grille either :/
Also, thanks for the compliments! Candy Red is awesome!

Havent posted in here for a while, but recent updates include LED reverse lights. Look gorgeous, haven't been able to try them at night yet, so I will post back with an update with them. Also just ordered new headlight housings! Got them real cheap and looking forward to retrofitting them in the future!
I have been hesitant ordering headlights because nothing really pulled me in 100% until I saw these and basically said "these need to be on my truck like yesterday". Love the aggressive look of the brow these have.

Cleaned the throttle body today. Definitely needed, the left side is uncleaned and the right side is after just 1 burst of tb cleaner.
