So, got tired of messing with drop lights, or flashlight to see under the hood, so hard wired in some super bright LED panel lights to the under hood sound/heat barrier. Will be interesting to see how long they last with engine heat. I bought a set of 4 so have two spares. If I have to replace them I will add a flap of heat barrier over them that can be folded back when needed. Here is a before and after.

Which bed rack bar thingy(what ever its called) is that. I have my for points and thinking of getting one.
It's the Ford bed extender. Swings out for larger loads and flips in to help keep smaller items from sliding around.

When I got this in I was actually heading out of town with a trailer. Just got back and put it on with two thoughts: a bed step and deterrent.

Reading the included documentation it makes more sense as trucks don't have the same rear crash protection built in as sedans do.

Are you still using this? Any way you can take a side picture of the whole truck and rear picture of it from further back?

Blackout Package wheels. They look good on there! I just reinstalled mine back on my truck. What size tires are you running on them, and are you running spacers? I ask because I'm considering leaving them and selling my aftermarket wheel/tire setup.
Thanks!

I have a simple RC level kit, so I went with a 275.65.18 with no spacers, i just feel sketchy about spacers. I did not want any rubbing at all and it rides awesome with the Wildpeak AT3 on.

Thanks for the info. I'm really not a fan of spacers either. I run that same size tires on my aftermarket wheels. I wasn't sure if that size would fit on the stock wheels without rubbing the struts. Looks close.
Thanks.

Before I had the new tires installed I put that against the old tires on the truck and it really looked like it was going to rub to the point that I purchased the intrusion bars from stage 3. I just emailed emailed stage 3 to return the intrusion bars as I do not need them. It rides amazing.
