Nice build so far! Can't wait for more updates.

 

Thank you.
Really? I don't see a ton but I do see a fair number. I don't see a lot as FX trucks though. It's mostly XLT's and XTR packages. It wasn't my first choice for a colour but it did catch my eye.

I'm curious to see how many were offered in this colour. Whatever the package.

 

Thanks, I was following your build also for a bit, the updates with this site are weird. I don't subscribe but still get them. So I haven't checked on yours for about a month.

I like where you were going with yours

 

Have you wired the amber lights on your grill up? Sorry for the novice/noob question but where did you splice in at? The one thing that I am always hesitant to do is splice into wires (don't really know why)

 

Yea, I did. It's stupid easy. I tapped into the passenger parking light. Because I have my DRL set up to turn signals, the raptor lights won't turn on unless I rotate my headlight **** to parking lights on.

 

Thought I would update my build thread. I bought these, mentioned them in another thread.

I found out my shackle mount isn’t like another I’ve seen, it doesn’t have a long overhang in the rear.

Mounted up, next is wiring. We’ll see how it all looks when done. I’m sure I’ll have to adjust. Especially with the lack of overhang.

 

I got these for my birthday on the advice of a couple other members. I did have to contact the company about the offset ones for the front holes and they came in a week or so later.

I haven’t had the chance to use them yet but am looking forward to doing so.

 

I was fortunate to find a roush gauge pod in line. I just need to choose a oil pressure gauge now

 

I’ve got the same gauge pod with my boost gauge in it. It’s nice that you still get airflow around the gauge. I went with Auto Meter for the gauge.

 

Ordered Go Rhino RB10 running boards. Overall I’m happy with them, they stick out further than I thought and there’s a chip in the coating at the corner. I’m not super worried about it, I’ll seal it by winter and the couple of hoops I had to jump thru isn’t worth the effort.

im hoping the spacers help the wheels offset the look.
