Changed out my boards

Changed out my chrome package running boards, to some of these black molded ones. Very similar to what the Superdudes had/have. Better coverage on the rockers, less slippety slip, a little higher ground clearance, and best of all, less chrome.Factory Style Running Boards Ford F150 SuperCab 2009-2014

Man, I love the stance of that truck. Especially with that wheel and tire combo.

Thank you Alex! It's nice when you hear comments like that from another gearhead.

Good looking pick up John, like Alex mentioned, nice stance, and I like the blacked out head lights, and the dual exhaust out the rear bumper.

Thanks guys. Those heads are retrofit Bixenon projectors. The chrome was removed from the reflector and painted black in order to maintain clear lens.
Here's a couple photos of what I started with almost 4 years ago. The first 1-2 years I had it, I just wasn't feeling it. I was modding out another truck at that time, and this one sat for so long, the battery actually died on me a couple times. Now I have to think, "Do I really want to drive this and get it dirty"!!LOL

John,

That truck is really coming along, I am 100% on board with u for ditching chrome

Those boards were a good choice & I agree w/others on the Raptor Wheels & of course all the blacked out Lights

I have to ask, what kind of Pistol is in your door pocket

I have good gun knowledge, but can't place that butt
BTW, I too have Red Stitching on my Seat's

Ya, I forgot I had that there until after I posted the photos, but then thought, I'll bet most everyone here has a couple personal carries!LOL
It's a Sig P229, in 40 cal., with Pachmyr grips. Not too big, not too small. Just about undetectable under a shirt without tucking in the tail, unless someone is looking pretty hard. My personal favouorite.

Those are Clazzio covers on the seat, I'm waiting until I get some help installing the rear seats. Man, those things are TIGHT!!
I like that stitching, it comes very close to the colour of the truck.

Never mind the torque wrench and that bottle of detail spray!!! LOL

nice looking truck. I have those plastic boards on my SD and they offer really good protection and look good to boot.

FYI...You could've just hit the "edit button" on bottom right of your post

I never would've guessed those were cover's, because it so closely matches how Ford made my seat's, however the center of my seat is suede (I think) its definitely not a normal cloth & the rest is leather w/a red edging

Pic of mine, for reference....

Thank you! Yes, after having two SD's with those boards, I knew they'd work the way I want.

Ya, that's why I went with Clazzio's, the fit is great. Sort of a pain to install, but the results are worth it. Once I get some help, I'll get the rear seats done.
The lighter grey insert is leather, and the darker is vinyl. I really can't feel a difference rubbing my hand over the different sections. Plus the colours worked out very closely to the rest of the grey in the interior.

Nice looking truck and I wouldn't have ever even known that there are seat covers in the pictures. I would like to level mine but it hasn't happened yet. Thanks for the pics!

Man, that looks good! Truck is looking great, I have followed its progression over the years on the forum. Your Borla tips are holding up better than mine with salt/sand from winters up here. They are still in decent shape, just not as shiny!

I'm tempted to get a pair of those boards myself. I'm a "less chrome is better" type guy myself. Thinking about plasti-dipping before this winter and see how that turns out. Any plans for some "chrome delete" on the bumpers?
