08 F250 Progress Thread

So i just got an 08 f250 its a 6.4 diesel lariat.. i have a lot of plans for this truck so i figured i start a new thread

I picked it up last tuesday and have since got Hi/Lo hid kit and another kits for the driving lights ..8000K for both .. Also added a billet gas cap



I also just installed a new tonneau cover .. its a truxport roll up cover .. i had the same one on my f150 so i figured id stick with it since i liked it on there

Looks good.

Here are a few cheap mods you can do while saving for the big ones :

Window Tint, Billet Grill, Smoked Tails and mirror lense, PTM door and tailgate handles, 1" front leveling spacer, remove mud flaps.

Nice supercab short bed! That's the same setup I had. A little too much chrome for my taste, but to each his own. I spent a ton of money on my truck, and don't miss that money pit at all.

The door handles were on there when i bought it.. im just leaving them on for now but plan on having them ptm so that will break it up a little bit .. imo they look cheap i would go with the solid billet ones if i was going for that look but i want the ptm

Some recent updates..
Got the windows tinted on friday and removed the lights under the doors.. attempted to remove the mud guards but but there are scratches on the fender flares from them so they will be left on for now until i can get them painted






Hopefully by the end of this week ill have the visor back from the body shop and the smoked lenses should be here this week
