Only suggestion, dump that lower valence plastic thing. Truck looks so much cleaner that way.
I'll try that soon and see how it looks. I plan on using this thing and that will help the approach angle.

I've been eyeing those too since I looked in the AMP catalog for my bed extender.

Now back to GoneFXcrazy's stuff. I made my own build thread now since I have something more worthy to post.

I remember back a bit you painted the exhaust pipe and spare tire shield. Now I know why. Every time I walk by the passenger side now all I see is steel through the rear wheel well. Time for some BBQ paint.

Nice. It's only two bolts that attach to nothing except that splitter itself.

I'm seriously considering the AMPs too.

Yeah, it bugged me so much I had to do something. You don't even have to bother with BBQ paint, I used plastidip, it worked brilliantly. 5k miles later and it still looks great.

All the stuff is in my signature. When I went shopping for this truck I said I was going to get the truck I want, how I want since I plan on keeping her for at least a decade like my previous 2004 F150.


Those shoes are sweet! I am in Ontario as well. How much did they set you back?

$190 plus $40 balance and install per tire. Compared to the Pirellis they is a small amount of road noise and they are a little more bouncy. Just makes you feel like you are in an actual truck instead of a SUV. (I used to drive tractor-trailer)

GoneFXcrazy: I took off that air dam and you are right, it looks much better. Now I have to fill that hole in the front between the back of the bumper frame and the front suspension cross member with a skid plate. More mods!

These showed up, SR-Q2 Diffused lights. Got them for a steal so I decided to replace my SR-Q lights with these SR-Q2's

Yeah I noticed the same thing. The SR20 helped hide that open space, but if I hadn't done that I also had plans for the same kind of skid plate.

Good lord that's a lot of lumens. Cannot wait to see their output.

skid plate in that space will also help keep some debris off the future winch....

Yeah, and that's PER LIGHT!

I'd love to do a winch, but I have no real use for one and blocking the intercooler would be a problem...
