Finally after months of waiting!
#16
So after about thirty days owning this truck, I have still yet to drive it. Its been a almost 100% DIY, except for the actual paint of the body parts and headlights/tail lights.
Using a Fix86 to sum signals into aftermarket JL HD900.5 amp.
JL Fuse box
Went big, in case I needed more power in the future
Yes F150 fits
Front doors of Platinum trim needed a new door jam boot to accommodate new speaker wires. I did not want to cut any of the OEM wires.
Dynamatted
Im so glad the release agent worked as advertised. The box came off clean and with ease after two layers.
The rear speaker wires I just bored out the factory connector to allow new speaker wires pass thru the boot.
Trying to fit a lot in a small space
Perfect spot to penetrate power wire, as if Ford had that spot there for this purpose

Wow! Gotta hand it to you, that looked like a ton of work. Not sure I would've done everything the same way, but I did learn something: the door handle covers, whether painted or chromed, are separate from the touch sensors. How do they come off, if you don't mind me asking?
So, this is only what I know works on the chrome Platinum grade handles, not sure if this applies to all.
1. The chrome handles are just a cover. Each handle has two squared clips holding them to the actual handle base. You will see them (towards bed side), one on top one on bottom when you look behind the chrome cover. You will need to pull them apart then go in the out and forward towards the front of the truck motion. It is hard, but they come off. I put some blue painters tap on the body towards the front end of each cover in case I slip, but I didnt.

I found out how to do it the easy way via the F150 forums. At first I thought we had to take the whole assembly off according to some of the Super Duty forums and Facebook Forums.

Once again, great job. Love the mean, blacked out look of the taillights.
