Thinking about removing the running boards and replacing with retractable ones. Need to pause and think about it ....

Where did you get your tailgate decals. I ordered a similar one off etsy but not sure if I’m satisfied with the orange edging enough to put it on. Maybe be different once it’s on the truck. . . Otherwise nice build!

Which ones on Etsy did you get? I'm feeling the same way about the ones I purchased.

I got it on Etsy. Probably the same guy. I'm happy with the color - it's dead-on, IMO.

Here's the guy I got it from. https://www.etsy.com/listing/136696...9e13903068b38589794a4c5974ccc12da2:1366961631

So far, I'm happy but it's only been on a day. I think the color is a good match.

Bro, that looks awesome. Love the painted brake calipers. Where did you have them done? Sweet looking truck!

Thanks man. I was nervous about going too far with the calipers but in the end, I think I'm gonna like it. The shop who did my ceramic painted them. We matched the paint to the Ford color (I think it's called Electric Spice).

Really looks sharp!

How crazy was the caliper job?

Not crazy at all, actually. Just matched the paint color to the Ford spec and painted them with a heat-resistant paint. Replaced the lug nuts while the wheels were off.

Sweet, wasn't sure if it was DIY or if you had em done somewhere. I've done DIY a couple times but figured if it was a pro job and not crazy expensive I could be lazy

I got it from the same guy. He had an older post specifically for tremors. I got “matte black on tremor” which he advised me to but I feel it’s too dark/gold. now with this new post he has up has different colour options. The pic he uses I feel looks a lighter orange than what I received.

I think the trick is making sure you are comfortable with the paint color and using the right kind of paint (heat resistant). I had one guy do all of the work for me because he does custom stuff in his shop but it's not a complicated job, at all. Just tedious. (...and I decided to be lazy .... )

 

[CGCMK3]

Yep. That's exactly what it looked like. I've spent some time looking at it in the sun and in different light today and I gotta say: I'm pretty happy with it.

Constructive laziness is best
