So today I tackled the rear brakes (New pads and rotors).

Drivers side went fine, passenger side caliper piston was cracked
Called up Napa and they had a replacement on hand, and gave me the preferred customer prices ($50 as opposed to $80, both with $25 core charge). Caliper went in nice and smoothly, bled the lines, and all is well.

As for the next project.. truck goes into the auto body shop March 10th to get a new factory bumper because someone hit me a few weeks ago. Waited a while to get a spot in line at the shop I like because they do an amazing job, so its well worth the wait.

Once thats done, in goes the Cragar/FX2 black grille, and the Hella blackout headlights.

So unfortunately no pictures yet, but as soon as shes done I'll post some up... in the mean time, heres the Cragar F-150... so you get an idea of what shes going to look like (minus the hood/bumper/rims)

 

Nice. Where did you get the grill from?

 

I like...

 

Got really lucky on e-bay.

Was bidding all night, when at the last second someone outbid me. Come to find out the winning bidder decided he didn't want it anymore, and the guy e-mailed me and asked if I did for my last highest bid, to which I quickly replied yes.

Got it in the mail the other day and its really nice. Very similar to a FX2 grille, but black... and the emblem is relocated. Now I just need to find a suitable emblem for that corner area.

Forgot to add, I'll be adding HID's from e-bay into the Hella headlights a few weeks after I set everything else up.

I honestly have to say thanks to everyone here... this site has given me so many ideas, and everyone is very creative with their trucks, while maintaining thier own personal style, which is awesome!

 

So dropped her off at the body shop today. Not sure how long it will take. It's just a new bumper with new paint, and they are going to put the grille on for me aswell.

I'm guessing 3-4 days. But as soon as I get her home I'm putting the Hella lights on and I'll take some pictures for you guys.
