Truck will be ready for pickup tomorrow morning !

The front Mag diff cover won't work in conjunction with the icon dual stabilizer kit so I am having the Mag cover returned so that I can run the dual kit. It can be made to work but a lot of grinding has to be done to the Mag cover and I don't like the idea of that so out the window it goes.

While at the shop I went on and ordered the Recon LED Front/Rear/3rd/Side Mirror lights in the smoked black which all should be in mid next week except for the Front which are on a 4 week stock order.

While I wait on the lights I will be working on getting the front and rear bumpers as well as the grill PTM, and removing the chrome side 6.7l badge and FX4 stickers.

Fun times!

Well here is a another bad phone pic I was sent tonight



Not to big, not to small, tasteful and just right IMO.

Josh said it drives better than stock, and better than any other lifted F250/350 series he has done as of yet! Get to pick it up tomorrow as the Icon dual stabilizers have to go on and the bed still has to be sprayed.

I think it will all come together very well once all the chrome has been PTM and the recon lights all go on. Better pics to come once I have the damn thing back in my own hands

Chrome on the Grill/Bumpers will be blasted and then painted to match. I had thought about Line-X'ing it all but wanted to keep it clean so I decided against it. Currently recon only have the smoked and the clear lights available and I opted for the smoked front projectors, and the side mirror/3rd brake light/tail light LED's. More than likely going to have the chrome F250 badge you see in front of the mirrors painted flat black, delete the 6.7l badge on the door and limo tint all the windows. Just a matter of time.

Wanted this truck to be tastefuly done, reliable, comfortable, and easily driveable on a daily basis and I really believe I am on the way to accomplishing that.

Below is a pic of the Kelderman suspension F250, and unfortunetly they did the exact thing I was planning to do about a year ago when I was debating the F250 and the Raptor. Oh well, at least I got to see what my vision was going to look like and here is what my final product will more or less look like as well minus the camper shell and the extra height.

Jake,
I saw those but honestly I feel it would give the truck the "racoon" and or "chick with to much eye shadow on" look. I prefer the completely blacked out in your face look.

At least your honest =) If they turn up and they look bogus they can always be returned, but once on and NO CHROME on the front I think it will all come together with the PTM grill/bumper.

Just my opinion. Those type of lights, projectors or whatever, do not look right on a vertical light like the 6.4 and 6.7 just doesn't look right.
A painted stock or "harley" light would look a lot better.
Just my $.02
