Been doing a few small projects, first up was replacing the hex head bolts on my skid plate with countersunk Allen hardware:

And then I sent my console lid and gauge cluster cover off to raptor custom embroidery to be upholstered with leather:

I also decided to delete the midget stripper pole so that I can get the Tailgate Linexed:

And then finally, I decided to pull off the graphics in anticipation of getting the truck paint corrected and ceramic coated:

Great job man. I was wondering who bought his truck. Great clean additional mods.

I have been on the fence about a new bumper and your SVC SMURF bumper just made the decision even harder.

Thanks! I was lucky enough to get a great starting point for a build, and I've really just been cleaning up small details.

Where did you get the tailgate cover panel when you deleted the stripper pole? I looked at a new one from Ford and they were retardedly expensive. I was thinking about making one when I took the old stuff off.

I looked for the cheapest used tailgate on Craigslist I could find, bought the whole tailgate, took the panel off, and re-sold the tailgate for damn near what I paid for it.

I'm not sure I can get all 4 marker lights in one pic. Luckily they all look just like the one in the pic.

Had to splice the connectors from the gen 1 markers onto the wires from the gen 2 marker lights. It was a pretty easy deal.
