Nice work.
Do all T4R have 3rd row seating now? Or is it still an extra cost option?

No, it's still an option, cost me an extra grand and I didn't even want it as an option. The only one that I could find that was blue though so I was stuck with what it came with. The third row was the only thing I didn't want so whatever. I've been debating removing them and making a storage area there instead, but I just don't use them.

I believe all Limiteds come with the third row, my car is essentially a Limited without the airbags and ugly chrome trim

Saw this in a parking lot today... Thought you'd like it

Very nice, I almost got that color. I had thought about getting those flag decals but decided against it

brian2

looks cool in person because they're there but not there

CCColtsicehockey

Those decals look good. I like the over flares on it as well.

I'm definitely a fan, I just think it's a bit too Murica Redneck for me

CCColtsicehockey

Wait I thought you were a redneck that just got displaced to the city

Just cuz I want to live in the country away from people does not make me a Redneck lol

I'd guess it was done on purpose:

00TL-P3.2

On the right side, it's represented as if on a flag pole & moving forward. So this is correct. Left side would look 'proper'

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Yes, it's based off the military reversal of the flag

The stars section is always supposed to be towards the forward direction. It's the same on uniforms, planes, tanks, cars, etc...

Could have sworn that I posted these pics with the black roof rails, but I don't see them in this thread so figured I'd throw them in here. Definitely loving the blacked out rails, they really complete the black on blue look

CCColtsicehockey

Looking good.

Do you have something against ass shots

needs tubular bumpers now...
I love spending your money!
It looks mean though, great job!

00TL-P3.2

Looks great, aggressive look. Some more A/T profiled tires would looks good, too.

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

It's my daily driver, not my off road warrior, leave the tires alone

CCColtsicehockey

They would fit your theme better though

00TL-P3.2

Was the same with my F150. Some K02s would've looked great, but they'd never get used for anything but pounding pavement.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

I thought the K04's were the turbo upgrade everyone was ranting about!

00TL-P3.2

BFG K02 (tires). Not sure what the go-to turbo upgrade is/was for the 2.7EB.

Threw on a little mod yesterday, installed the Diode Dynamics Tail As Turn Module. This changes your LED panel in the tail light to be your turn signal as well as your brake light. I've noticed a lot of cars these days with LED tail lights have this feature.



The module has the added feature of allowing the big clear turn signal at the top of the light to be converted to a second reverse light. Here's the module and the LED bulbs that I used. You have to tap the green wire in order to add the second reverse, I don't know why they don't just do this out of the box.



When I first got the truck I installed 194 wedge bulbs in the reverse lights, when I removed the stock reverse light bulb housing the stock bulb fell out and into the tail light housing and it's been in there for almost a year. So I figured this was the perfect excuse to get it out. Took a couple minutes but I finally got the stock bulb out of the housing



Here's a comparison shot of the stock bulb, next to the LED wedge I had in the reverse (same bulbs that I have in my interior), and the new 921 LED bulbs that I replaced as the lower backup lights.



And here's the stock amber rear turn signal bulb, being replaced with an all white reverse light, this thing is huge and insanely bright!



I wrapped tied up the modules and wrapped them in some piping insulation to keep them from rattling around. Overkill, but I'm all about doing it right. ( I cut the ziptie after this pic)



Here's a day shot of the reverse lights, I planned to get some night shots but it thunderstormed and was pouring last night when I was going to go out so I said screw it. You can see that both the upper and lower clear lense are lit now.



I put the flashers on to test functionality and this is what the flashing turn signal looks like now, you can also see the new 921 Profile LED bulb in the lower reverse lense. I'll post some night shots hopefully tomorrow, I can't imagine how bright these things are going to be at night.

00TL-P3.2

Nice mod, extra reverse light is nice & something the F150 was lacking. Had I kept it, I was going to look into mounting some LED cubes into the rear bumper on a 3-way switch (off/manual on/reverse on).

Awesome post 97BlackAckCL!

One thing I did notice on your install, you'll want to remove that piping insulation if it's not heat resistant. The resistors will get hot (like the filament in an incandescent bulb).

I had thought about adding some LED cubes originally, but this is a much easier and cleaner install. Plus if I ever have issues I can remove the module and go back to stock pretty easily.
