This is the equivalent of Cassie telling me she has something to tell me later.  So annoying.  Haha.  She did this to me earlier this week.  "I have good news.  I'll tell you at home later."

I demand pictures.  Haha

The color looks so different in both pictures.  They look good though.  What type of coating.  I think this was discussed before but I'll be damned if I can find it.  This thread is out of hand.  Haha

That’s kinda what I like about the color, it changes quite a bit depending on the amount of light.

It’s called “Marmalade Metallic”. It’s a powder coat color from Parasmatic Powders.

Nitto 420S tires ordered in 305/50/20. So should be a 32” tire, the same as stock height.

Shop says they should be ready for pick up on Tuesday.

I also put some Ethanol in the tank (20%) and it certainly peeled up the truck a bit. I’ll need some changes made to the tune before I can run any higher percentage. More just to play around than anything as it’s not practical to run E85 around here.

Had a fun day trip to ride in Fernie BC. About a 3 hour drive away.

Love the pictures!  Looks like a blast!  You down hill guys are out of your minds though. 

My mind is 100% on my upcoming trip to Maine.

Tires should be in and mounted up by Thursday.

Big road trip planned for the 15th. So these should help with MPGs

I feel like your life is just a big road trip with occasional breaks in between. 

What's the weight difference on the new wheel/tire combo versus what you're currently running?

I’ll weigh them up tomorrow. I’m curious too. I’m guessing about 25lbs a corner savings.

Between cleaning bottles and sleep, I was able to get the tweeters in the A-pillars and then center speaker in with the GPS antenna in prep for the Sync3 upgrade.

I took tomorrow off, so I hope to get the front door speakers in if my sound deadening comes. I am waiting on a patch cable and rear door speakers before I can get everything completed for the stereo upgrades.

I won’t put in a aftermarket amp at this time, but probably will by Christmas time.

Wow those are dark.  I bet they have a nice pop to them at angles though.  Kind of wish the fender badges were the same color as the wheels now.  Atleast in that picture.

Yeah, matched emblems would work, but not gonna happen,

Front door speakers are all done. Head unit and rear door speakers to go.

The million dollar F150.  Haha. 

I've always used dynomat sound deadening.  But Focal has been my choice for speakers on the last few builds.  Pricey though.
