New 09 Sterling Gray F-150

Well after a long wait my pickup arrived on Sunday. The dealer installed a Ford remote start system yesterday and I picked it up today. It is a fully loaded XLT. Crew cab with a 5' 6" box. Some options include 5.4, 3.55 Limited slip rear end, Captain chairs, reverse sensing and rearview camera, tailgate step, power sliding rear window, chrome tow and sync packages, probably a few others that I can't think of right now. Had it home for about 10 minutes before I started the mods.

I got my chrome turn signal bulbs in.

New 20 X 9 BMF Novakane wheels are going on tomorrow morning, followed by 2 sets of Cloud rider mud flaps.

I also have McCullough HIDS for the heads and fogs sitting in the garage waiting to be installed. Also have a Recon scanning light bar waiting to go on. My Truxedo Low Pro tonneau cover will be showing up at work tomorrow too.

I also need to complete the smoked mirror reflector mod and the USB 2 mod. I would also like to get my box Line X, but I need to find a place to do it yet. Next week I am bringing it back to the dealer to have them coat the interior and exterior with Xzilon. It is supposed to keep the exterior looking new and help protect the interior in case of a spill. I haven't decided if I am going to tint the tail lights yet either.

Well enough chit chat heres some pics. They were just some quick ones once I got home and before it got too dark. I will make sure to take some more once I have some more things installed and a chance to clean it again. I even waited to post this so it wouldn't be a worthless thread.

Heres a couple updated pictures of what I got done tonight after work. It rained on my way home so still no clean pics yet. I got my floor mats put in that I saved from my old truck. I also got my truxedo low pro tonneau cover installed and my Cloud Rider mud flaps.

I went to get my wheels installed today and turned out that they had ordered the chrome version of the BMF Novakane instead of the death metal black version. So they will be in in about 1 week so then I can get them installed.

I feel the armrests on the arm rests on the door and the center consule are perfect for me. I am 6' 2". They seem very comfortable to me and there is no leaning over to utilize them. I am very glad that I went with the captain chairs over the split bench seat. One of those things that once you have them you will never go without them again.
