My First Truck Build
So This is my First, truck, grew up in chevy's, but I ended up with a EcoBoost when it came down to buying my first truck, just something about the twin turbos I liked.
I leave nothing stock, so its going to get a few goodies here and there.
To start off I added some simple mods after I brought it home.
Led Dome Lights
Pop up Tie Downs
And these Audi style driving Lights.
Lots more goodies in the mail and on order, just waiting to get them, leveling kit going in today and Line - X

I couldn't get the lens off, I wanted to put them on the inside and follow the inside outline, so instead I put them on the outter edge of the lens,
Will get some pics tonight, I was just waiting to get my HID's and Offroad HID's installed, I'm also adding a LED turn signal, that should arrive soon I hope,
Got my boxliner and Toneau cover aswell. This weekend i'll get that done and maybe my leveling kit if I have time

SO here is a night pic
Wait a pain it was to install compared to my uncles chevy, had his done in like 2 hours, this one took a little longer but its in.
I covered the dash bezel with carbon fiber from ebay.
I bought a PAC controller that retains my sync and "steering wheel controls" after a $70 module, so its best to skip the sync because it turns the screen off when you use it, so I just disabled my sync, the hands free from the nav system is better anyway. although now I have 2 usb inputs.
My hids are installed but they are Hi beam only, so I got to get that figured out, and all of a sudden my driving lights don't come on with my hi beams, I have a relay connected to my hi beam wire and ground pin, it worked yesterday but not today, not sure if its the relay or not.

Do you have the short (5'7') or long bed (6'5")? If short bed, did you see if you had actual welded square tubing inside the stake pockets or just the opening on the bed rail? If just an opening, how does the pop-up tie-downs secure itself into the stake opening as I'm curious as to its strength if there is no stake square tubing welded in place.
Finally, is that the Ford accessory tie-down or aftermarket (which brand)?
