Good looking truck. What makes the bumper look different? Help me out I like the lights as well. Do you use a separate switch for them?

 

Thank you!

The 2011 Limited and 2010-2012 Harley Davidson edition trucks utilize a urethane bumper cover over the standard F-150 bumper, that's why it looks different. It's more sporty and I really like how it looks on the truck myself.

All the additional Rigid lighting is tied to the high beam circuit, I also added a wire to the foglights which backfeeds them when the high beams are on so they don't turn off. This gives me plenty of light for the long dark winters.

This time of the year I hardly ever use the headlights because it's light out any time i'm out and about. Gotta love the land of the midnight sun

 

Thanks. I guess the bumper cover is out for me because the brackets would have to be changed and I am sure it doesn't let enough air in for the Ecoboost.

I really love the idea with the lights. Just a matter of how and if I could put them in myself. So they not vibrate in the grille?

 

i have to ask, out of all your cars, which do you find yourself driving the most? this one?

i seem to drive my dually the most (i did drive the scion xB the most until recently when i got the shackles finally installed and tires on, now i've been neglecting the scion and driving the dually everywhere lol. can't get enough of it!

 

I do find myself in the F-150 the most, as shown by the amount of miles I've racked on it in the time i've owned it. Summer time gives me more options on what to drive, any time it's nice I try to take one of the old cars out.

The Chrysler which was the replacement for my '98 Expedition is driven every day by the other half.

The Excursion sits a lot these days, but I try to take it out once a week. It makes the perfect camping/road trip truck if I don't need to haul a bunch of fire wood or the 4 wheeler.

 

i figured you probably used the f150 the most. my excursion sits a lot too, i'd like that to change but i need brakes on it (grinding as of recent) and can't really afford to fix it just yet.

i cannot wait until i can finally build my garages so i can easily pick up a set of keys and drive whatever i want. right now i have stuff all over the place and it's a task to get certain cars out. when i have my garages, ill be able to open the door and go. could take my 87 wrangler on nice days, my dads 81 vette, etc. hopefully soon enough that dream will come true lol.

 

The F-150 is just so freaking nice to drive I can't help myself lol

So here is a video from last weekend, still getting more and more daylight every day...i love it!



So on Sunday a buddy of mine who just got a new to him side by side asked if I wanted to go riding up at Hatcher Pass, I said hell yeah! So loaded up the 4 wheeler and gassed up the truck the night before and headed out about 9am Sunday. Had an amazing time, can't wait to go out again soon. Just makes me want a side by side even worse then before.

Loaded up




Stopped for breakfast in Eagle River, since my friends were running late



Made it to Willow about 20-30 mins sooner then them, waited...


Then headed up Hatcher pass road, I've only driven the road over the mountain pass, never went on any of the trails so I let my friend lead the way with his Chevy.




Found a good spot to unload and start checking the trails out.




Then we headed out, ended up on a trail up to a mine but the snow was wayyy too deep so we had to turn around. Plus it was raining and cold as heck up there.








After about 5 hours we headed back and loaded up




Stopped off at Millers Landing in Houston,AK for the best soft serve ice cream in the state! I then noticed that my truck did not have a speck of mud or dirt on it, after going down a slightly damp dirt road...no idea how i did that.

 

Double Post

BTW, we discussed your F150 when u first got it (love this body style) & just thought I'd mention, I've came over from the dark side...lol

Thanks guys, I'm blessed to have this state as my back yard!

King-bRanch, I did see your new truck, been really busy and had not had a chance to comment on it. It's a beautiful truck love that color red!

 

Few shots from the driveway today. Everything is dirty but hard to tell at this distance.

 

Very nice! Where's the 56 Chevy?

 

Very nice Russ. Now you just need to get that fleet all cleaned up. Hehehe.

 

The 56 Bel Air is kept at my Grandparents house during the summer, after all it's his baby!

They do need full details badly!

So I'm down in Seattle until Monday night for a wedding. The rental car agent knew the way to my heart...a convertible of course. Can't wait to cruise the Seattle area with the top down.

Bad Part is the weather is hotter at home and we have daylight 24/7 right now and I'm missing it



Best part of flying haha
