    I'm about to purchase wrecked 2014 platinum to get it built to my liking
    I'm thinking about 4 inch lift/level , 33s or 35s or even 37s on black 18s, exterior chrome delete, trd pro front end with little scoopiness, fender flares, fiberglass cap- color matched, posible exhaust etc... shoot me your ideas, even crazy ones, I might be brave enough to make them happen ;) if would be able to afford it :)
    It's gonna be project for few month I think.
    Here are pics of possible donor vehicle and picture of Ford that made me to chose that color

    I like the led light in the grill.
    I have the problem with fog lights though, they would not turn on, no power. Also headlights adjust knob not working too. Could be bad connection or broken wire I guess

    Got fog lights fixed, it was park/tail 15amp fuse under the dash, for some reason it was missing. Waiting on lift to be done this weekend, than tires/rims and alignment to be done Jun 2nd

    Should I paint cab spoiler or leave it black?
    I'm not sure, bought it with intention to paint it but now black looks OK to me as well

    Take it off. Not the best look in my honest opinion.

    But you know what they say about opinions.

    Lift kit installed. Now waiting for alignment on Tuesday, one of the things I can't do myself.
    Will be painting fender flares, fiberglass bed cover, mirror caps ( I have paint grade black caps, not painting over chrome), door handles and cab spoiler.
    Still thinking about trd skid plate, red tow hooks and front camera retrofit

    1500 miles after rebuilt - 13mpg, tires are not noisy, no issues except truck is magnet for mosquitoes.
    Pictures are made way after 11pm, no flash. That's why we love Alaska!
