Damnit!!!!!!!!!!something else I need to do now. Just as soon as I get a second and third job to support my "habit"..HAHA

J' ...It looks great man. Good job as always. The exhaust sounds great, so tell me what you did? What setup do you have ( i know weve been thru this before) but now you got rid of the aft cats....did you lose much power? I think my next mod will be exhaust and the decision on what type and where to have the tips exit is worse than the decision I had to make when I was looking at new cars and trucks a few months ago. It's killing me, but the quiet stock exhaust has got to go..soon.

Rear 2 cats removed with Single Chamber Flowmaster Racing Muffler. It's a loud setup, but I'm looking for a magnaflow SISO muffler (14" or 18") for under $100. I noticed a gain if anything after the cats were removed. It's a great mod to do if someone will do it for you, I had to talk the shop into trusting me, cost me $50.

Sounds like the '97 I had with nothing but cats. How's the drone in the cab? I loved the sound of mine except when I had to be in it for over about an hour at a clip, then it got old in a hurry. Sounded like a stock car when you got on it under an overpass. Thinking of going with some sort of Magnaflow setup on this one.

Nice mod with the lights. That would be a pretty slick setup for use during hunting season for me.

WOW, I am so doing this.

About 6 months ago I bought the Leer 700. I asked for a bed light, and I got a cheap battery operated switch light that barely even turns on, nevermind lighting up the bed. This has been a complaint since I got the cover.

I must do this, I just don't have a bedrug (but I do have ford liner).

I went on the website, but can't find the 12" tubes? Where are they?

Thumbs up

That's awesome! A much cleaner install than mine.
For those of you looking for a cheaper alternative, check out my $14 lights from wal-mart: https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=237328

That's are very clean 70. Do you show it, or just cruise it?

I think it would make it more awsome if you used those Lights (not sure if LEDs) that change colors, they cycle around, basically i believe they can be any color.

I Have been considering doing something like this, but would like ample light at tailgate.

it's decent light at the tailgate, but not great. I've since added LED's facing in the middle of the bed where little light is thrown, only towards the back however. Here is an old pic of my LED's:

You should somehow tie in the stock cargo lights into that switch also.
