Finally had a chance to take it out to one of the many dry lake beds and found a water spot from about a month ago. So of course i had to play!! Not show in the first pics but the last one of my truck with the dirt all over it was the aftermath!

Just ordered a Craven Speed Short Antenna and replacements LEDs for every single bulb on the outside and inside of my truck i could find (ex headlights) from forum member Jon_To. Should be here tomorrow!! Ordering my puddle light conversion kit tonight as well and trying to decide between Weather Tech or AVS window deflectors. Or should i just order the OEM ones from ford?? Need some help on the window deflector situation if anyone can throw some ideas my way id really appreciate it.

Newest mod was to take off the F150 badge on the back and replace it with my ecoboost badge sporting a custom "3.5L Twin Turbo" overlay which will be in tomorrow as well. Plasti dipped the badge to match the overlay and re-attached it to cover the body holes. Easiest mod so far i think

Sweet truck! Those taillights are awesome! Have any ideas on the lift kit, wheels, or tires that you might end up with down the road (once you're warranty is up, or you say screw it, haha)? Anyways...

Im not sure on a lift right now. I know i want a 6" lift though because while i do love the MPG i get in this truck i didnt buy a full size pick up for the gas as my plates should denote. As far as rims go i actually love the look of my stock rims, i got a quote for powder coating my rims Tuxedo Black Metallic to match my truck. My only concern is i cant seem to find a solid answer on how wide can i make them and the tires stick out. Most people with a nice wide stance on their trucks are all using after market rims which leads me to believe that my stocks wont support much width but once i confirm that is when ill decide what rim. Either way i will be taking the rims i end up with in to get them painted to match the truck along with some bushwacker fender flares. As far as tires go its a battle between Mickey T's or Nitto's right now. There is SO much on this site about both i literally dont know where to go and now im also seeing a lot of people running Michelins.
