Just ordered some N-Fab wheel to wheel bed access nerf bars. I hope they get here before the Christmas break so I can put those on when I do my muffler and LEDs.

Make sure it's 800x384
Put it on a thumb drive
Plug the thumb drive into your truck
Go through the screen settings of your My Ford Touch to find the thumb drive
Upload/save the image from the thumb drive
Set the saved image as your wallpaper

Did the following over the Christmas break:

  • Swapped out the OE step bars for some wheel-to-wheel 3-step nerf bars
  • Swapped out the OE muffler for a Flowmaster Super40 and deleted the tailpipe
  • Installed LEDs under the rear bumper for better visibility at night while backing

All the mods in one shot (well, not the muffler but it's under there!):


The LEDs are bright; I am happy with them:



Better shot of the nerf bars:



Just need to level it and get some new wheels/tires.

Picked these up tonight. Not so much a mod to my truck but a mod to my garage. Now I have a proper jack and some jack stands. Gonna try to install my leveling kit this weekend.

Installed a 2" leveling kit yesterday. I need to take a pic but I measured and got the full 2" out of it. Wheels and tires will go on next weekend.

For comparison, here is a previous pick from back in December when I put on my side steps:

Got my new wheels and tires yesterday:



Wheels are Black Rhino Sierras 18x9 +12.
Tires are Nitto TerraGrappler G2s 275/65/18.


I need to wash it and take some better photos. Other than a spray-in bedliner (I have an OE drop-in for now) I think I am done with mods - at least until my warranties expire.

As I mentioned in my previous post, other than ditching the OE drop-in bed liner and getting a spray-in liner, I think am done with mods. Here is a list of mods to date:

*Swapped OE chrome grille for PTM Sport grille
*Removed the front air dam
*2" leveling kit
*Wheels/tires
*Wheel-to-wheel nerf bars
*De-badged the tailgate
*LEDs under the rear bumper
*Flowmaster Super40 muffler
*Tailpipe delete
*WeatherTech floor mats front & rear
*Changed the MFT 8" wallpaper
*Installed hose clamp around the tailgate hinge

Well, I did some more mods:

Stubby antenna


Hid my dash cam power cable and hardwired to the fuse box


Ran the power cable across the headliner, down the passenger A-pillar, behind the glove box and into the fuse box
