My trucks almost done!!!!

So I decided instead of getting a new truck this year (my company typically leases a new one every 2 years), I would fix up the current one and keep it for a few more years (its been a GREAT truck). All that's left is to put the NFAB black steps on the side and change the gril e out for the painted one I have sitting in the basement...therefor NO CHROME...cept the F350 badges of course. 6" Fabtech Radius arm lift kit with Dirt Logic 2.0 shocks, Dirt Logic Steering stabilizers, 38" Toyo MT on 20" Mojave Teflon wheels, RA front and rear bumpers, misc piaa lights, Warn 16.5Ti winch front (soon to find a used 9.5Ti for the rear), Fabtech traction bars, Magnaflow exhaust, K&N intake, Edge Attitude, dual Optimas, and an alternator rewind for more juice, Tiregate rear tire holder, Rolnlock bed cover, Bushwacker cutout flares, it should clear 42" tires no problem.

Does anyone know of a company making an aux fuel tank to mount where the OEM spare tire was? I prefer not to take up more bed space if I can help it.

Man I think we all want to work for that company.
I like the stealth. Nice bumpers. Slow as molasses production wise, but nevertheless.
I'm of the same mind. Dont want a 6.0, dont know enough about the 6.4 and ain't gonna pay for that anyway. Redid a lot of stuff this year. New truck. 01 taxes.
Looks good.

Very nice dude. I like the look you have going there. Have you thought about blacking the grille out and getting some HD headlights?

I actually have a Sport Grille painted to match the T7 paint code sitting at home, and I have black NFAB steps as well....so there will be zero chrome left except the badges. I have 3 Hella 500's from an old Jeep of mine that I will throw into the bumper until I find some HID's.

Thanks for the link to aerotank.....I'll check it out. The Transfer-Flow might be a good option as well...I'll see how prices pan out for either / or.

Spare holder is a TireGate....looks better inside the bed, but with it out my RollnLock tonneau still works.

The grille, OEM front bumper and fog lights are for sale......but I am in Alberta Canada, so shipping might be an issue on the larger items....PM me if you are interested.

Thanks for the appreciation guys!

Tarcher: I am in Dawson Creek working right now actually...damn rigs!!! The bumpers are Road Armor.

BlueOvalBoy: Ladders? The traction bars? It was suggested I put them in with the 6 inch lift.

And yes....it needs to be driven......I'll get it out to the patch and sunk in the snow yet, don't worry!

Merry Xmas everybody!
