Decided to remove the front air dam as well as the running boards today! Kind of like the look with out them.

Althogh on the bottom of my rocker some of the paint is aready starting to flake away, not sure if this is covered under my paint protection warranty but if it isn't I might just prep the surface and roll on some rocker gaurd to protect it.

heres a couple pics with the air dam and running boards taken off

Still wishing I had the tow mirrors every time I see your truck. I like the no running board, but my wife wasn't a fan. Maybe cuz she was pregnant when I originally removed them? Oh well. Should get yourself some Raptor running boards

GET THE TOW MIRRORS!! hahaha. I'm kind of digging the no running board look for now, I don't have a girlfriend or anything so if anyone complains it don't really bother me. I can understand your pregnent wife not being a fan haha. And there aren't really a big lot of raptors in my area so the chances of a set popping up on the classifieds is pretty slim 👎🏻

I prefer no running board as well, but I do like the looks of the Raptor boards. There's one I saw near me for 275 with no mounting brackets. Seems like a good price but it's not really up there on my to do list. Mirrors will come before anything like that.

Probably same for me. Cat back or muffler swap/delete? I'm probably just gonna do a muffler swap myself. Personally liking the sound of Flowmaster 40 series and I'd leave the resonator but I'm afraid too much drone. Other one I kinda like the sound of is Aero Turbine AT3030

never heard of the aero turbine one. Honestly I'm probably just gonna get a roush. Everyone complains about too much drone and too loud but my buddy has one and I don't mind it at all. And also my Subaru was pretty much straight pipes other than one resonater so I'm not new to a loud vehicle with drone haha

I found out about that one fairly recently. I love the Roush, and the Borla ATAK, but with 2 younger children that are asleep when I get home and a wife that doesn't like loud in the first place, I think they are out of the question. Got a 1974 F100 project truck and that's my loud one. Just want something a little less extreme for the DD.

yea that is totally understandable. I still live at home with my parents and everyone on my street is family so the noise won't be a big issue for me. With the car I always just kind of coasted up the street and into my driveway if it was late and it was never an issue

Not a huge lot of progress made since previous post but I did smoke my third brake light and paint the edges around my tail lights black which really cleaned up the look. Will post pictures tomorrow!
