Thanks Wayne. I've ordered some flares just waiting on them to show up and get painted. I'll also be installing a clear 3m film along the bottom to protect against chips and crap.

in case you want to look into it^^^ If not, no biggie. The fender flares are more important, but these do a great job of keeping crap off the body where the fender flare doesn't catch. I ran them on a super duty I had back in '05, and loved them. (see pic below) I did have to trim them for the stationary nerf bars, which kind of sucked as far as jobs go. It really cut down on frequency of necessary wash jobs. I did like the fact that I had zero rock chips, and took it off road regularly. Anyway, nice looking build. Keep up the good work.

Cool thanks Wayne. I may look into those since I just bought factory flares.

Those flares look terrible IMO. As long as you're not racing down gravel roads the 3M clear film will be fine. Color looks awesome man!

Thanks. I had asked Wayne for a link and pic of those flares so I can have some options. For now I've got new stock flares but will probably change those out sooner or later.

Well got the truck back today. Gotta paint the bumpers and get those on, still debating stock or fusion, lenses are getting painted then going back to JD, recon lenses and new fender badges are coming also. This thing looks amazing. Gotta pull my trans tonight and I'll get the amps on and it'll be done. Well except for a couple things under the hood and AF's.

What year king ranch seats are you going with?
2011+ king ranch seats, center console, black carpet and panels. Have the ac & heat working in the seats would be sick in a 08 lol. I wonder if a person could bolt a 11 cab onto a 08-10.

Thanks Morgan. I won't be touching my interior plastic. Too much time and money but I will be doing new carpet and as of right now I'll be doing new style kr seats front and rear.

some people prefer the 6.4 vs the 6.7. There has been more tried and proven setups with the 6.4. Its cheaper to get to the 600 hp range that lots of people stay at.

I know he will be over 600hp. I was referring to why someone would rather have a 6.4 vs 6.7.

Looks so good!! I'd go with the stock bumpers. The truck is so clean. Just keep the factory look. Can't beat it.

Thanks guys. My painter is gonna paint stock bumpers next week when they get here and probably my badges also. I wanna find some clear film that goes behind the door handles to help with scratches if i can find a kit. If not ill just have my guy put the 3m film there also. Frank are you at ts? I'll be coming up tomorrow evening to drop off my core trans with Morgan.
