That's a pretty good looking truck.

I think the 3rd brake light being smoked, even though it's not much, does quite a bit for the looks from the rear. Especially on a black truck. One day I'll get around to painting the edges on my brake lights... bet your truck looks even better now, lol

your truck looks awesome man, I'd love to lift mine but I don't know if I'll go that far with it.

I like the backrack, it does put a little more rugged/ beefy look to a truck in my opinion, tho I think trucks look really clean without them. Only reason I really have it is so when I have the quad in the back it don't kink up the end of the box! Haha

I agree, I feel like smoked third brake lights look the best on black trucks. That and the painted tail light edges definitely cleaned up the rear of my truck. Gonna take a few pictures now soon when I go out.

Here are a few pics of the tail lights and 3rd brake light. My brother just got a new dslr camera so some good quality pics are in the future 👍

Forgot to mention, I also got some led bulbs for my reverse lights and cargo lights.

Digging the truck! I really like the painted tail lights, such a clean look. I'm gonna have to do that on FX4.

In my opinion...don't lift it lol. I like mine lifted and wide and having big tires, but all of it costs money. I can't fit in most garages, I have a high chance of being pulled over (in my town) for tires sticking out, bigger tires mean you'll be slower or possibly need a regear ....it can be a hassle! Don't get me wrong, I love having a lifted truck. But it sure has its cons! You'll save money and still have a badass truck even if it's leveled!

I agree about the backtrack. I love the ruggedness of it and I like the look of it on your truck! It gives me an idea of what mine will look like with one.

Definitely gonna have to paint the edges on my lights now...

One suggestion for ya, plastidip the chrome around the Ford emblems. I did just before the emblem overlays and happy with how it worked out.

Either way it's looking awesome

i actually had that done before haha. I rushed when I did it and didn't do a great job so I pealed it off. I'd like to take them apart and paint them but I'm afraid I'll break the rear one takin it off

yea I hear ya about the extra costs and less drive ability, but it just looks badass haha. Tho I might refrain from it and just get some 35s and put em on my stock wheels or maybe get another set of wheels. I love the stuff look of big tires on a levelled truck
