That is freakin sweet dude! Great job!

 

Look good. 4x4 or 4x2?

 

next things on the list is to PTM the handles and mirrors, then smoke the third brake light

 

Did the ride quality stay the same or get better with the belltech lowering struts? The reason I ask is because I'm getting my installed tomorrow.

 

nicely done sir!

 

Ride quality was unchanged for normal driving, but the lowered stance has improved cornering at higher speeds. Especially with the coil-over springs on the rear. The rear is a bit stiffer now with those, but I retain the functionality to haul and tow.

 

truck looks awesome!
A different grille would look killer and i would add the orange reflectors on the mirrors and do the turn signal mod. X3 on the side steps.
Aside from that the truck is perfect! Im digging the raptor lighting.
very well done truck!

 

Well I've been driving the truck lowered for about a week now. It ended up being more loose ends to tie up than anticipated. Just little things, but it has been well worth it. It handles better without compromising it's utility.

I'd love to get a set of OE signal mirrors, but I'll wait until I can get a really good deal on some lightly used ones. All of the ones I've seen so far are more than I'd want to pay.

 

The mirrors are nearly identical, so all you really need is the signal LED unit that bolts right in where you have a blank black plastic. No need to buy an entire set of mirrors.
You can then wire in the turn signals yourself. Its not difficult and just about anyone with very little wiring experience can do it.
If they are power mirrors your truck may even be already prewired up to the door for them.

 

completely off topic, but i was jus playin COD with a guy named "FabianTheGreat". reminded me of u

 

Lol
IDK if that is creepy or not.. that your playing manly war games and thinking of me.

 

haha, dont flatter urself. fabian isnt quite a everyday name, so i was like damn. there's a guy on the forum....wonder if it's him

 

yea its funny how its pretty uncommon, yet there are like three Fabians just here in my little small town of 13k population.

But no wasnt me, I just have enough time to pop in between posts now-a-days, let alone sit and play video games. Im actually posting between working on some stuff at home and a project on the screw.

 

Do you know if the LED signals can be bought from the dealer without purchasing the whole mirror? I don't see it clearly o Tasca's site in the diagram. Do you have part numbers by chance? If so, I'll be getting those in soon! I do have power mirrors and I've tested the connector. It's already wired for the LED in the harnes.

 

yea i just checked a few different sites diagrams and all are mislabeled and generally unhelpful. I can get some part numbers for you guys. Ill check in on it during the week.

Can you snap a pic of your non signal mirror for me? Im almost positive that the newer (09+) mirrors just have a little black plastic tab where the signal should go when not factory equipped. The only 09+ F150 i have available to tinker with is a fully loaded platinum so i dont know for certain what other models are equipped and not equipped with.
