The PTM badges cost around 60 for the 3 badges from Tasca parts, and to have them painted was free. A buddy of mine already had my paint so he knocked that out.

The Nathan air horns were a good bit even with the great deals I got.

The Nathan K5 s cost me $250, the tank, compressors, switch, and everything for running the horns was $660 shipped. Then I added the air gauge for $60 and the vent pod for $25.

The full build on it is in my sig.

J I have seen pics of your truck tons of times but each time I see it I wet myself haha. Seriously though man, VERY WELL DONE! You did everything perfectly on that truck in my opinion. Makes me want to start working on mine again. But I'm on the fence about getting a new one.

I have added 16.6' of leds in the bed of my truck and about the same length from each front shackle to the front of the truck.

The frame lights are made to come on with the interior lights!

Can we get a couple pics to show how you mounted all that flex LED stripping? Also I watched your video and it appears that the frame strips are wired in to turn on when the doors are opened, is that true? A couple pages back someone asked exactly how much your headlights from sickhids.com cost and I didn't see an answer unless I missed it.. so how much did they cost? Also how about a pic on how you mounted the Rigid Light Bar. Im looking to do the same thing on my 08 f150. Sorry for all the questions and pic requests.
Sweet truck by the way!

The frame strips are simple, the led rolls come with a sticky back. all you do is clean the frame rail, I used purple power, let that dry, then went back with acetone. Once that was dry, I just pealed the backing off the LED strip and stuck it to the frame. And yes, I wired them to go on with the interior lights. I came in the fire wall on the drivers side and connected ground and power in the drivers door seal.

My Sickhids.com lights cost me around $800 if I remember correctly.

The rigid bar was installed by a buddy. My Gf got it for me for X-Mass and I didnt know about it till it was done. To remove it you half to pull the bumper off. It is mounted to the frame some how.

How are those sickhids.com headlights? Did you ever try your HIDs in the stock headlights to compare? 800$ is a bit pricey but if they are worth it then I would deffinately consider them.
