Planning to install the fuel pump in the car tomorrow after work, hopefully I can wash the F150 and garage it again!

Get that thing back to being a garage princess! She's already over her monthly quota for miles driven!

Thanks, Darren. Your opinion is always valued.

Now for gears, then to decide on whether I'm gonna do aftermarket/OEM PTM bumpers or an NFAB front bumper . . . So torn

Well a little while ago I put LEDS in the taillights. I got some for the front interior around the same time and put them in then too. Well finally got LEDS for the rear seats, cargo and licence plate lights in today. Still have the rear high mount brake light and front marker and signal lights to finish.

It's not 100% completely lined up, but if I loosen the bolts on the support structure behind the bumper, I'll be able to get it perfect.

Needless to say I'm stoked.

Thanks Darren! It was driving me nuts. Aside from the front bumper being pitted the truck is really straight with hardly any imperfections. So to have that rear bumper twisted really got to me.

yeah . . . I need to visit some junk yards . . . My buddy said I'd ruin my truck if I did anything other than OEM (style) bumpers, and I kinda agree Even though your front bumper is aftermarket, I'm apprehensive about how they'll fit if they aren't OEM. eBay is cheaper than Rockauto for front bumpers, but unsure of quality with all of them.
