wanted to start a thread about the stuff that we did to our trucks ourselves.

from mud flaps to turbo kits and anywhere in between

we all have different skill levels and such but i want you to post pictures of the stuff you did to your truck that makes you like it better

this is your chance to show off your hard work and help others that might want to do what you have done

 

- Added/upgraded lighting front and rear.
- Added Philips LED DRL.
- Improved under hood LED lighting.
- Step mounted lights.
- Under step LED strip courtesy light.
- Side and rear reflective stripe. Haven't decided if I like this.

Not shown.
- Viair 150 PSI compressor mounted inside fuel fill crash loop w/front & rear disconnects.
- Hellwig rear sway bar.
- Air horn
- LED brake lights.
- Full interior and exterior LED lighting
- Edge Insight CTS monitor w/added oil pressure sensor.

 

Nice add ons, those q-series are pretty bada**. I'm a big fan of led lights myself they really add to the look

 

Blapensee, do you have any pics?

 

I worked for Philips Optoelectronics before I retired. I was a hardware development engineer working on the reactors that made high output chips so I'm partial to LEDs. Even my home is all LED lighting.

Started with putting in a B&W Turnover Ball hitch in so I could use my Companion hitch.

Then putting in the in-bed electrical

The Edge CTS

The Viair 10007 Onboard Air System which I did without drilling the frame!





Breathing CLEAN air from inside the cab!



And an air chuck under the right rear door for airing up anything I need to.

Covering said outlet!

Firestone Ride Rites!


Ford OEM guards.

 

Nice job that extra air comes in handy!

 

Nice job guys.

Blapensee, Nice accent lights. Are they adjustable (dimmable?) and where did you get power from?

 

Nope not dimmable I have them hooked into the cab roof lights since they come on when its dark and when the door opens up

 

The only real custom job I did was in my center console. It is a pine board that the airbag controller sits in. I didn't want the controller just hanging out under the steering column, I didn't like the way it looked. So I got a pine board, burnt it with a torch and then stained/sealed it. I put black caulk around it to fill in the gaps and to give it a cleaner looking install.

 

added another thing to the list

maryland diesel performance ccv kit
pain in the butt to get out the stock ccv.. kit came with no instructions but the only reason i see them being needed is to tell you where the 4 bolts holding on the stock unit are located. after its out the block off plate and the vent were easy to install. now ill clean out all the oil in my intercooler pipes

 

Blapensee,

Do you have an oil catch pan or are you just venting it into the atmosphere?

 

At the moment its vented under the cab with no catch can. I will get a catch can if I see oil dripping from the hose

 

Installed on board air, Ride Rites and put the controls under the cup holders.



Installed a frame cross brace to help with the 40-45 mph hop. Still a work in progress.



Installed a CTS with a modified H&S MM dash adapter for '13-14.



Installed a 2.5" leveling kit, tint and de-badge.



Along with a few other adjustments.
