First Mod!

Well, i need to get my truck looking like less of a work truck and more of "my" truck. It came on 17" Steelies with a brand new set of Toyo winter tires ($350/tire!) and those as well needed to come off ASAP.

Stock:


Found a set of 20" Lariat wheels locally with the Scorpion's still on em with about 30% tread. I figure i'll burn 'em off this summer, when winter hits, put my snow tires back on, level the truck and get some 305 toyo m/t's for the new wheels.

After (sorry it's so dirty)



Next on the mod list is debadging, black chrome running boards off a harley davidson, a bedliner, & new grilles.

Those rims alone completely change the look of the truck, looks good.

Excellent! This truck begs for the Mark LT chrome on white door handles. Charcoal is simply too dark for the doors.

Mr. Wiggles, looks good man. Forgive me if I am asking something that is common knowledge, but you were refering to debadging. How do you go about doing that and making it look clean? I am especially concerned about the side badges, on my 06 the black inside the F150 emblem is flaking bad and looks like poo. Would I have to pull off the badges, weld up the holes, and repaint?
