Got the fender emblems back from paint. I just mocked them up, I'll clean up the edges and glue them up tomorrow.

Hi did you do anything to this emblem? Is the "Lariat" stock or did you do something different?

I buy from a wholesale distributor that sells to the dealers here in town.

I just disassembled and painted the surround and F250 letters. The rest is OE.

Jmuck, beautiful work on both trucks! I just ordered a 17 yesterday and have an 8-10 week wait. What is the offset on the factory wheels, believe yours are 20x8 or 18x8. There's not much room inside the fender well anymore before the wheel is protruding from the body line as on previous models. I'd like to keep tucked as much as possible as I am offroad a lot and want my paint to stay nice, will be wrapping rockers as well. Once again, great work!

Go with a +20 and a 9" wide and that will keep you in the fender wells. That's about the best offset your gonna get with an aftermarket wheel.

Were the F250 logos and everything else easy to remove?

Di you look and see what the oem offsets were? Ive found wheels that will stay close to tucked, but everybody loves big lips Haha. You can get small flares from the king ranch trucks I guess. I'll be going 20x9 +0. Although I did find a 20x8.5 +33 that would almost look oem in offset.

Nothing much going on except enjoying the hell out of this thing. My wife got me a Yeti cup for my birthday so I had it and one of my key fobs painted to match. I really dig how the key turned out. I am waiting on my PMF adjustable trac bar to arrive and having the front and rear ovals painted this week also.

I love that color. I've seen a few new superduty's around town. But man this truck is beautiful.

Well I pulled the trigger on wheels for when the lift goes on. Going with a brushed finish and paint matched windows.

Still debating what lift to use or just build our own.

I've debated keeping it but that thing has been the biggest money pit of my life. And I kinda want a new boat, which is also a money pit, but less than the ZR1 has cost me lol
