I put all of them on the flare then put a dab of vasoline on the end of the clip to mark the final location to be drilled

FYI, where I live the towing capacity with the towpackage is 10 700 lbs and with the max tow package it's 11 700. It does require the 3.5EB. Both capacities are with the 3.55 differential.


The 5.0 has a maximum of 9000lbs I believe.

Congrats on the new truck! I approve of that color for sure. :-)

Looking forward to seeing the build progress...

Side question, who are you using to host your images?

Then I removed all dealer advertising (front license plate w/holder, rear license plate frame and decal in tailgate). Looks so much cleaner with out the front plate holder.




First actual addition to the truck, Ford hitch plug




Then up was a set of OEM wheel well liners. These are a breeze to install compare to the Rugged Liners I had on my 07.






Is that an after market lower grill insert (in the middle of the bumper)? And if so what brand is it? I just took off my license plate and bracket and only have two verticals bars - looks ok but I like your set up better!

Beautiful truck! Great mods you're doing as well. I'm wanting to get some of those wheel well liners. I have the same truck just white ...and ecoboost. Love the truck. Before
Most recent. I have a wrap in the works.

I believe that lower grille filler is for the V8 only. The 2.7 & 3.5 are open for the intercooler.

Decided to see if the tonneau cover from my 07 fit before I threw it on CL. Well I was shocked, it fits!!
