I added lights to the bed of my truck that come on when I open a door, hit unlock on the key fob or turn the cargo lights on via the dash.

DIY Ceramic coating...
Trading your badge to be a master electrician? ? ?Well knowing me I couldn't leave well enough alone.
1. I didn't like not having ready to go ability to expand as needed.
2. I didn't like everything crammed in one hole.
3. I didn't like my trigger and power lines running up the middle of the truck
So being the glutton for punishment I am it will be corrected soon. Bumped up from 8 relays to 12 and I'll have 5 more slots available per pattern channel and plenty of of terminals for expansion. Some mesh wire loom (I ran out!) will be here on Tuesday to make it all pro and pretty looking.

You have no idea, I am seriously debating doing a rear seat delete, installing a partition cage, and create a custom multi-dog box, and more additional custom storage area. I could install some serious stuff like duty grade weapon lock stands (like our patrol cars use) with that space opened up...
I'm on the edge of competely renaming my project plans to "The Battle Wagon".

I had my whole truck undercoated with fluid film prior to its 1st winter last year. Great product and cheap insurance to keep rust from starting.Sprayed and wiped fluid film black on the underside of the truck. Hopefully it helps hold off rust. I did see some surface rust on it already at 800 miles.

Nothing too fancy but swapped out the ford oem mats for some weather techs. Really like the coverage of these better than the oems. And thanks to my wife as she got these for me for Christmas.

Post pictures when complete! I am going to start off with a 2” front level spacer and 1” diff drop. If the rear end needs bumped up after that I will add the 1” rear shackle.2.5" spacer lift and 1" rear shackle and 1" Bora wheel spacers. It was more of a job than I expected. Ended up with a nice 3/4" rake. Just need some 285's now.

My middle of the night project, something I have been wanting to do since probably over a year ago.
Ever since I got my truck new I thought my factory fogs always seemed hazed. Well I took them out to paint them to match the rest of my amber lights and discovered why. Its a two piece light and the two components are not sealed together with anything and quite frankly dont lock up tight either. Kind of a garbage move by Ford considering the money they make on their products.
Anyhow sealed them up proper. I'll reinstall in another day or so once they have fully cured.
The first picture shows the left fog light where I cleaned the outside AND inside of the lens (as best I could), the right fog light is just cleaned on the outside to show you the garbage seal on them.
