Thanks folks! A fresh update is coming momentarily!
Aint no performance to a 5.4!
. Granted the Lightnings & '02/'03 Harley Davidsons prove otherwise. Maybe some minor ones. The fact is it is a heavy truck and I don't have anyone to impress with speed, I drive slow to conserve octane . As long as it looks good!

Looking good.
Maybe one of my trips back home to my parents I can swing up your way and see it in person.

Hey guys. Still on the busy side of things, but good news, part of that" business" was a good bit of modifications to the truck! This past week alone the truck got hit hard with mods and it's appearance has changed completely, with OEM styling.
I saved a huge chunk of money up and bought the Harley Davidson edition grill.
A guy on the F150 forum started custom painting Ford emblems and sanding the fonts and rings out, I ordered a specific set from him immediately. I wanted the grill to have the outer ring and font only, the tailgate one to have the inner ring and font, with my trucks paint code UA black paint. He did the work with superb results and PG clear coat. I love them!
Then I got in touch with the body shop manager at the dealership to take some parts in for paint. The grill surround for the HD grill, the 5 door handles off of my truck sanded smooth by myself, and the '06/'08 primed front bumper that was originally intended for my old truck.
Sanded.
Primed bumper
Then I got it all painted and put it all on!
Old Lariat chrome pkg grill with new Harley Davidson grill with custom emblem.
Installed.
Door handles re-installed.

I waited until the following weekend to tackle the bumper exchange, glad I did too. It was quite a job.
Bumper change over pics!
The brackets and fogs, everything that mounts to the bumper basically.
Revealed
Building it up.
And after a half hr of re-adjustments to get it lined up right,
Pics the next day.
Turned the 6000k fogs on.
The truck is coming along very well to the vision I have of where I want it to stand. Next on the list is a rear bumper to PTM which I have a day set with a guy to do a swap ( we had to reschedule from last time unfortunately ), exhaust, '09+ Lariat badges, remove 4x4 decals ( replace with sterling grey '09+ 4x4 decals? ), LEDs throughout, fab up some LED bars under the tonneau cover so I can see at night without using my phone.
And who knows what else!

That's a great looking truck
Some of those subtle changes make all the difference, great work
