Yeah, that sort of thing happens. Life has a way of getting itself in the way of many of my projects. Don't feel bad about it. Your other ride is an f150 as well?

Well through waiting for engine parts, and headlight parts, I also ordered new floor mats. It was supposed to be a front and back kit, but only the fronts got shipped. Not a huge deal, as I only paid for the fronts now. I also don't really need the rear, as I have the factory rubber one, and no one really sits back there. I highly recommend these mats! Digitally cut to your floor.

Finally got my new towing mirrors with PTM caps and PTM headlights on. Also went "mudding" . . . at a flea market haha.

Both headlights and the mirrors



Close up on the headlights. Added the Texas touch.



Second dirtiest it's ever been

Thanks! I'm liking both of them so far. Wchamp7 had me wanting white headlights for a while. I had to search, and search, and search for decals small enough to fit on those side markers haha. I had the heads painted for 6 days before those suckers finally came in!

I like that I'm getting to the point where people should be able to see my truck and (if they've seen it before) know, without a doubt, that it's my truck. I want it to be unique and have things that not everyone else has, or at least not all together haha.

You said it. I only recently noticed another members truck(the black short box from sept totm) in town. Walking by it in one of the Walmart parking lots. I took a double take, and opened this site on my phone in the parking lot. I honestly didn't think there were any other members in lethbridge.

But your truck, without a doubt they could recognize it. I sure as heck would.

That's funny haha. I wouldn't think too many people, in total, lived in Lethbridge Other than guys I've actually met in person, I don't think I've ever seen a truck from the forums.

That's what I'm hoping for!

Those Weathertechs are the best mats too. I have Husky fitted fronts, which I love because I got them for free, but I think Weathertechs tend to be thicker. I do want a giant one-piece one for the rear, cause I've just got the little rubber square ones.

No pics yet, just copied the video to my laptop to edit it, but I managed to lose my front license plate earlier this week only to be called by the PD from the next town over saying somebody turned it in to them... So I went and installed an EZ Flip roller fairlead license plate mount. It required a little bit of modifying due to the mount holes not being elongated from the factory, and my roller fairlead being just a fraction smaller than the standard warn fairlead... But it's on, it works well, and looks good...

Got a quick and dirty writeup of the whole process on my blog since it came with no instructions and I can't seem to find any online...

Thanks! I've got 3 pairs of headlights, extra pairs are definitely helpful.

I had to see the link for the bracket to even know what the heck it was haha. Boy $70 is pricey for a license plate bracket
