I hope it doesn’t! It wasn’t too hard to paint with a roller though so I can always touch it up before a show or something haha

Headliner video

Here’s a little video of the headliner installed. Multiple colors, flash patterns, plays with music all the jazz you know. Enjoy

Tailgate Progress!

Finally got the rest of my trim and mouldings yesterday! Thanks to a Missouri guy I got the center FORD panel yesterday and cleaned it up today and fixed a few dents. Having a new tailgate and no trim previously it took a lot of measuring to get things perfect before I drilled all the holes for mounting. Turned out pretty nice! New tails installed as well. And the CUSTOM bedside emblems got drilled in their spots today as well! Just about ready for paint now 👌🏼

Thanks...I'll remember that.

Mine has the tail light trim piece that NEEDS the extra tail gate trim pieces T&B to go with them.

I agree with you! By mistake I ordered the top piece thinking that I needed it as well as the huge panel that surrounds the tailgate handle...little did I know that panel contains the top trim piece on it so I have an extra I’ll hold onto Incase someone wants it or I’ll return it at some point!

This is the "look" I am trying to get......



Sorta plain and unassuming.....
BUT... The thin strips T&B on the tailgate are a MUST!

I believe that was the standard XLT trim package on the tailgate minus the Ford panel that covers the letters. Of course Custom trucks could be ordered with almost any options the dealer or customer wanted so that’s a possibility as well! I love that look though, have you ever thought about painting or getting vinyl letters in white to put on the F O R D lettering? I think that would look sharp but just my opinion!

I think it looks the best on those nice painted red trucks! Just a classic look hard to beat

Wheels, wheels, wheels

Got my wheels and tires on today! Went with Ion Alloy 171 Series in 17X9. Running a Cooper Discoverer 285 tire. Pretty happy with how they look on here, just waiting on my drip rail trim tomorrow!
