Looks like it'll be a nice build.

Somethings missing though.

I'll post a few pictures later in the week. The truck is covered in salt and all that new england jazz so I need to wash it.

I really do like the tailgate light bar, but do you know how much beer I can buy for $400? I gots priorities!

Honestly if I knew that the lightbar was going to be temperamental I'd save that money. It works 95% of the time in any weather but at times it'll cause my left turn signal indicator to make a faster audible noise. Had the wiring harness looked at while the truck was in the dealership since I had them install it. I'm glad I used my points on it so it was cheaper than full price. I'll take a scan of the work order...practically a whole page worth of maintenance/troubleshooting.

But yes, with $400 you could buy a few variety packs AND a tailgate damper! ?

Update 7/23/23:
Bought the OME suspension kit from @LevittownFordParts.com (thanks, Benny!) and scheduled to have it installed 7/24/23!
I plan on sticking with the stock tires until they wear out. Will post before and after pictures!
