Evening all.

Finally got the wheels/tires and fender flares on today. Take a look at the post on my build thread for pics. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post12907774

I'll get some more pics tomorrow of the final look from the weekend. Right now it's muscle relaxers for me to try and stop the back pain from kicking into full swing!!

I can not take credit for that. My husband picked it out 100% by himself. I am one lucky lady for sure.

I'm not sure how far off the speedo is. I'll check it tomorrow. There is a place about 10 miles from here that has one of those permanent "speed limit radar flashy things" that will tell me how fast I'm going.

I've also got the tuner that will adjust for my new tires. I just have to do it.

The truck is looking pretty sweet Bobbie. You are going to have to do something about those bed rail caps now.

I use an ap called ulysse speedometer to check and see if my speed is correct. It is free and works great. It can even project it onto your windshield like a HUD when you set the phone on the dash.

That's next. Probably painting the lower panels black (got one quote for $800 which isn't too shabby) and I'm pretty sure I'm just going to spray paint the bed rails. Shouldn't be too difficult to do.

Sounds good. Do you have any desire to just paint the whole truck or just leave it white/black?

I've thought about painting the whole truck but I think for now I'm going to leave it black and white.

I've actually thought about doing a green for the main color of the truck but haven't decided on that yet. So no movement on an entire paint job. But I am definitely getting rid of the crappy tan color.

Green would be nice. I will never have another white vehicle. I have a problem washing my vehicles on a regular basis and for me, white is too much of a PITA to clean. They look great when they are clean though.

I only got silver on this truck because the wife forbid me to get red.
