I am hoping to wash the truck, and hopefully get the wheel wells painted. I am probably only going to get it washed.

But last night visiting with a friend got me to thinking, and I have one heck of a mod planned next. All I can reveal right now is that as far as I know this has never been attempted in a Ford as of yet (probably wrong, but I know that no F150 has it ). I am going to do a little research first to make sure it can be done and if it can then I will reveal the plans. It will be a pretty extensive mod though.

Add me to the list of painting the wheel wells and frame. I finally got to walmart to get 3 cans of rust-o-leum flat black to get the job done. Now if I can just find the time to spray it on.....

Also need to wash it. And get some food to bring. Oh and get my park pass so I can get in the park!!

I need to install my chrome door handles and tail gate. My truck goes into the shop next week to get my bed liner sprayed from Line-X. We are waiting for the vinyl stencil graphic to come back from the artist.

You are going to make your truck amphibious (land and water)????? That would be sweet!! Could go wakeboarding whenever you want - just find some water...

OK, I'm guessing on 05's secret plan. Given his engineering and manufacturing experience, and propensity to take on projects that are amazing, I'm going to guess some sort of multi-link suspension set-up.
