And The Wait is over

And the wait is over. My truck came in Jan 12, Just happen to be the day after I came to work. That left me with 2 weeks to think about it sitting in the back corner of the lot at the dealership and another week while the my wife and I went on vacation to Steamboat Springs Colorado. While I normally do my own add on, because I just like seeing the transformation. I decided to let a local shop do a few things for me because I would have only had 4 week days left before heading back to work. (14-14) So being it was just gonna be sitting there what the heck. They put a 2" Rough Country leveling kit, swapped my rims and tires, sprayed bed liner, tinted windows, and installed 10" sub and amp under rear seat. I installed TufSkinz chrome letters and Aux Tank/Tool box or should I say just the tool box because of the solid metal neck to the factory tank. So back to the shop its goes. They will pull the whole neck off cut out a section install the aux tank kit and reconnect with rubber fuel hose. Here it is and a few pics from our trip.

We spent 1 whole day at Saddleback Ranch. I can not say enough great things about this place. We Snowmobiled, Horseback Ride, Snow Tubing,and we ended the evening with a Horse Drawn Sleigh Ride and Dinner.

Congrats...love that color. Jealous of your trip, can't wait to get the 5ver hooked up and get on the road! Looks like you made some great rocking chair memories.

We had a great time and now have some wonderful memories to look back on. I only got to get behind the wheel for 4 days but I did manage to put 1000 miles on it already. Headed to San Antonio in March and Northern Arkansas in October for sure this year. Plus a few weekend trips to Sabine ATV Park in Burkeville TX. So I will have it loaded down for a few miles in the next few months. Looking to sell or trade my 24 ft lowboy gooseneck, so I can get a 40 ft lowboy gooseneck to pull our SXS's and ATV's. Wife would rather get a larger toy hauler, but I like to bring at least 2 SXS and if there is room an ATV with us on our trips.

Looks so clean, leveling kit will be the first thing I do to my truck when it arrives, then maybe some more aggressive tires

What type of rough country kit did you use, coil springs or spacers? And how much, 1.5" or 2"?

It's a 2" Rough Country spacer. If they would have had the 2" Ready Lift coil spring lift in stock, I would have went with Ready Lift. Just because I have used Ready Lift in the past.

The rings on the outside of your puck system do not look like they are on correct. Are they just sitting there and not snapped in like they should be?

Just curious how did you order chrome bumpers and no wheel lip moldings on your King Ranch? Maybe I missing something on the ford build site? Or the Ford site is showing the wrong image of the bumpers.

It's just the way they are sitting. I still had fuel in my tank and drugged it over them and knock them crooked a little.

The first step is when you choose paint color. It's asked you what color for the trim. If you choose no trim color (or the same trim color not sure which way it is) it gives it a monocolor color status and makes you choose the chrome package for the King Ranch. But you can only get the monocolor in just a few color options. I think maybe 4 or 5 colors. Since my 2015 was Ruby Red which I love. I actually was thinking about going dark gray this time. But that color was not a option for the chrome package King Ranch. I am very happy that I went back with Ruby Red because all of the chrome accents show very well.
