Got some black and red emblems to match the grille and tailgate emblems. I think they look awesome! This set came with the tailgate F150 letters too, but I couldn’t get a pic since it got too dark outside. I’ll post a pic tomorrow. Next up I will be getting elephant ears, tail lights, headlights, third brake light, front bumper, fog lights and yeah the list is endless. 😋😜

So I finally got down to relocating my license plate. I’m going to have a raptor style bumper on this soon that re uses the factory intercooler air dam and everything. I wasn’t too precise I just used some really short small screws with some washers so that the holes weren’t enormous. It’s kinda slapped up there, but it’s not crappy looking.

I’ve got some Pro comp 18x9 0mm offset black wheels on their way and of course I’ll update things as I begin using boostane. Till then, I just have a few mods left that I want to do, including floor mats, tonneau cover, and some graphics

Also, I personally decided I didn’t like the towing mirrors for a couple reasons, main thing being the butt ton of extra wiring I would of had to do to get the extra lights to work. I think the OEM mirrors are better quality too. I’ll be spending that money on something else.

Wow I’m surprised, personally I love them should’ve been the first thing I did. The visibility can’t be beat, the truck has no blind spot with those bad boys. But I understand there not for everyone. Nice looking rims you got there, good choice.

Yeah I know, I thought I was going to like them, and don’t get me wrong they look cool as heck, but when I considered the other reasons I had, the wind noise, they actually made an odd whistling sound I just was like, eh, I want to spend that money elsewhere.

So I did a thing and painted my valve covers this afternoon. Went well I think and they don’t look too bad. They ain’t perfect but I don’t mind since it’s just going to get dirty anyway.

Well, Merry Christmas everyone. Now that it’s over I get to enjoy some of the wonderful things that I was gifted.
I’ve got a bed tent that I cannot wait to use this summer, and also with that a blow up air mattress that fits around the wheel wells.

Then I also got a Bed Rug liner which I have been wanting for a long time and a Gator Tonneau cover.

Also was gifted some Morimoto mirror Turn signal lights and a Cobb coolant cover. It was a truck Christmas! And I couldn’t be more thankful for the love that was shown towards me and my truck haha!
