Where did you get the F-150 tailgate lettering? All I've seen is TVD Vinyls, but they are not raised.

I'll tell you one thing I did this weekend that sucked. I was replacing the standard tailgate roller hinge with the Ford tailgate damper and stripped the torx bolts trying to take the old hinge off. I think it was the paint around the bolts. The bolts turned until they stripped in a bang...each one. I had to cut them out and order new bolts and a latch plate (#43488) for the tail light side because even after putting the cut bolts in a vise, I couldn't get them out of the plate... sucked and now I have to ride around without a tailgate until the parts come in.... be careful if you're doing the same. If the bolts have baked on paint on the latch plate, take the paint off first.

I traded mine off after 3000 miles! I’m sure some of you saw my seat issue post. I went from a 21 King Ranch to a 21 XLT 302A loaded up. That KR seat was the most uncomfortable vehicle seat I’d ever owned.

Looks great! Did you get the coilovers? Can I ask what your install cost was? I was quoted 9 hours ~ 950 for install. Seemed reasonable enough, but i'm curious what others are paying.

Nothin but drive it. There are only 3 more things I plan on doing to it. That's lettering appliques for Platinum on the tailgate, tint and a Bedrug bed mat. That's it. A sticker might go on the rear window or minor stuff but no wheels, tires, lift, etc. Been there, done that.

Thanks man! I didn’t get the coilovers.. yet!! At the time I ordered my kit, the ones with the coilovers were on back order so I opted for just the one with the spacer. I will be upgrading to the coilovers sometime next year. As far as the install, 950 sounds pretty reasonable to me. I don’t have a lot of shops close to where I live so I paid about 1200 for my install.

After 1400 miles, I took off the Goodyear Territory HT tires that came on the truck, and replaced them with Michelin Defenders. Ride comfort has improved considerably.

Had the windshield and front door glass tinted with that ceramic heat reflecting stuff.
Just clear on the windshield and just a bit lighter than the privacy glass In the back. Keeping it legal.
have it parked til the middle of next week as the installer said to not roll windows down for 5-7 days, and I roll windows down every time I’m in the truck. Was kinda pricey, but I did notice it was not as hot inside as it normally is when I moved it to a different parking spot.
Iβ€˜ll get the rear glass and little door glass done later.

Well boys and girls, I did some pretty heavy mods to my brand new F-150 today!! Feeling a little bit like an ASE certified mechanic, not gonna lie!

Added an official Ford Performance license plate frame (good for an extra 15-20 horsepower, at least) and popped on a Ford hitch cover!
