I contemplated getting those for mine to give it a bit of a terminator look, but Ill wait and do that sort of thing later on down the road possibly.

Looking forward to more updates.

My $60 boneyard pic for the day, just needs a little rust repair, nothing major though. This was the last gate in the place that wasn't rusted out, beat to hell, bowed out or just gone lol I have all new hardware ready to go in it already


Should get some wiring done on the truck this week and maybe some headlight work since I should be off.

Bad pics but a little teaser on my light build. Working on the demon eyes figuring out what sort of LED and placement I like best.

Are there any flares for these trucks even remotely easily available that don't require me hacking the hell out of my fenders? The bushwhackers are just too much for the look I want. And the extend a flares are obsolete

Does the Super Duty seat sit any taller and make you closer to the roof & steering wheel?

That seat looks nice in there.

It's a thicker seat bottom than the factory seat, but I made it sit real low on the rails so it would sit the same. It sits real good though, firmer than the old one

Good to hear, might start looking for one and try it out. My original is pretty wore out.

Mine wasn't in horrible shape, but the seat was free so why not. The plan is to locate a grey lariat seat cover for this one.

My seat doesn't look too bad, but it's wore out internally. I feel like I'm sitting on the floor.

Not sure which year seat I'll get, but I definitely want the armrest.

99-03 are the only back seats that will work I think. Unless you're pulling from an XL. The newer XLT-King Ranch trucks all have a 2 piece back seat that folds up so I don't think they'd be able to be put in. Of course the fronts are always an option, they'd just require more fab work

That would be fantastic, I've been prowling junkyards and keeping an eye out for parked rigs with them.

Yeah they're the best looking flares for these things. I found a set on Craigslist a while back and have kicked myself ever since for not buying them
