2021 RCSB build

[MJG44]

Are you able to get a couple other shots of those mirror cap overlays? There's gloss black ones but not so certain about how they look when not looking straight on.

First Trophy!
WooHoo!!! Today I won the “Pastor’s Choice” award in a car show at a local church! There were about 60ish cars, trucks, and bikes there. Lucky for me, the pastor was a Brazilian guy that really likes RCSB lowered trucks!

Another step closer to Limited
A set of color matched mirror caps arrived today getting me one step closer to that Limited look!

Sound deadening project is done on the floor and back wall! Doors will have to wait for another day.

80 mil butyl covered by 315 mil closed cell foam. The two layers make a huge difference. I can hear the air conditioner and the radio over the exhaust now! At idle in normal mode, you can barely hear the engine running.

Unfortunately, the only picture I took was when it was stripped down. Glad I did it when the truck was still new. Very little cleanup required. A quick wipe down with alcohol and it was ready to go.

Is your exhaust stock ? I am going to do the exact same thing as you in my supercrew rear wall and floors, I changed my stock muffler and getting a drone at certain rpm’s

I have the Magnaflow Street Series side exit. The noise level is definitely higher than a rear exit but it’s not unbearable and I don’t have drone.

Okay thanks, did a search through your posts and saw it. I just have a fairly quiet Borla pro xs muffler installed, everything else is stock. If the sound deadening material and closed cell foam made a big difference for you then it should solve my noise issue

I still want to add sound deadening to the doors. I imagine that will have some additional benefit.

Think i will do the back wall, floor, and rear doors for now. Forgot to ask, with both the 80mil butyl and 315 mil foam did the rear wall carpet liner fit back in okay ?

The back wall was not an issue at all. The single cabs have a single piece of molded, felt-like material. Not sure if that’s the same as the other cab configurations or not. I just made sure not to cover the two vents in the back wall.

I know you started this project a while back, but just wanted to add that your truck looks awesome!
I love the look of a RCSB slightly lowered. really like what you have accomplished. fantastic truck

I’ve been second guessing my choices. Thinking about ordering a 2023 X-Cab for the rear seats, changing to a different color for the truck and the interior…

But then I find myself parking, switching lanes on the freeway in heavy traffic, negotiating a steep rutted off road trail with crazy switchbacks and I snap out of it.

I love my RCSB! There are a few options I wish I could have gotten that aren't available on the RCSB but my little, tiny F150 5.0 is a friggin BEAST!

Happy Valentines!
Got a set of Lobo Limited vents for Valentines. They came from eBay.

I will probably put the chrome XLT vents up for sale along with some other spare parts that I have accumulated.
