Here’s a few before and after pics of my project so far. I’d say I’m about a third to half way done.

Is it just me or do the stock wheels look damn good on this truck?
Not terribly happy with the way the fender flares fit with the front bumper, looks odd from up front. Guess that’ll motivate me to get a new bumper! lol
I wasn't a fan of the stock Sport package wheels until I saw them on your truck. The bigger tires and lift definitely make a huge difference.

Everything looks better with a lift and big tires!

Whoever that is must be a lucky guy.

Also I’m stoked to see the rails because I want some but I’m not quite sold yet. I like the function of the step but if they aren’t frame mounted then I’m a little weary.
Still debating if I put them on or wait for a “real” set. Right now leaning slightly towards putting them on because: (1) I have zero patience, (2) they look damn good!! (3) wife wants them on.

With the 3” lift and 33” tires on my truck I need something, I’m 6’ but it’s still high enough with no step to piss me off by the end of a long day.

I agree with @technological_marvel , I thought the stock wheels were just "OK" until I saw them @Rockweiler 's truck with the bigger tires and lift. I am definitely a fan of them when the truck is set up like this. Great looking truck!!

And those hammock things are great too!
What hammock are you using? I'd like something similar to protect my leather from my doge too.

So far impressed with build and material quality. Also like the fact it’s not a V-shaped hammock: allows some roaming and will also accommodate a second dog (on it’s way). Flaps in the bottom to access seat belt attachments if desired. I bought it at my local pet store for $50(CDN).

As you can see, especially from the pics of the bottom of the “sliders”, they’re almost the real deal, almost. Very sturdy, built for abuse and secure as can be for a body mounted piece (6 different bolts hold it in place).

And here’s a preview of next week. Had everything mounted and realised the cross-bars were missing. To our surprise a “rack” from Yakima doesn’t include crossbars (???). Had to take it off. Parts coming in on Tuesday. If you notice I ordered a tray from Rhino-Rack instead of a Yakima basket. Find it much more versatile.

Did you order the rack through Ford accessories or Yakima?
