Default Redfurd IV Build

Bought in August. 4th red Ford 1/2 ton. Salesman actually tried to talk me out of the color. Lol.

Had to get rid of those tires. Had OEM Harley on my ‘07 but decided on Fuel Mavericks(along with a few thousand other F150 owners as I’ve seen since)for this truck.
Had truck leveled with a Rough Country 2.25 spacer kit. Went with 22x9.5 on 305/45 Nitto Grappler G2s. I like 22s because the wheel wells on new trucks are so huge it helps to fill them out.



​​​​After balancing and before tailgate emblem removal. Sport sticker didn’t leave the dealership.

Next came upgrade to the seats. Comfort was much better than ‘07 but have always like Katzkin.

Went with Katzkin Limited covers and specified quilting on wings with stone stitching and piping. I thought about red but in my experience red usually turns into pink after the sun gets to it.
Very happy with the quality and looks great too.

Wasn’t sure how to replace the dingy yellow halogens. Thought about stock LEDs, Morimotos or waiting for Anzos to come out. A little mock-up of the setup on iPhone helped with my decision.
Still kicking around that Lariat grill.

Morimoto XB LED headlights and fog lights installed. Pictures don’t do justice. Fairly easy install once you get past grill removal. Only drawback is FM interference when headlights are on. Retrofit Source has already sent something to cure that but not ready to manhandle that grill again to fix it just yet.

[QUOTE=rangerrick;6065274]
Your truck looks great. Very tasteful mods you've done. Here is a photoshop to hopefully help with your grille decision.[/QUOTE
Thanks. It’s been fun so far. This forum is gonna cost me a whole lot more the more I look at it I fear.
Thanks for the photoshop. Slightly better than my chicken scratch. Lol. May go with a black lariat too. Or red lariat with black mesh from KR.

I keep trying to talk myself out of these headlights but every damn time I see them actually on a truck, I fall more and more in love with them!
