Well, I posted on Saturday that I bought it. I took possession of it Tuesday (Free Leather & Liner) and did my first thing...I installed a trailer hitch. I also ordered plasti-dip to do the wheels and the badges on the body, and I'll be changing the front grill out soon for a Raptor style grille. Window tint is this weekend as well.

Get blistein 5100 rear shocks ... cheap easy to install and I wish I did it years ago when I first got my truck
What kind of mount did you use to attach the 2x4 to the bed tiedowns?
I drilled a hole on each end of the board centered just above each tiedown that was just a little smaller than a couple of 2 1/2 in. long thumb bolts I already had. Then I ran the thumb bolts through some 1 in. long plastic spacers that I already had laying around, then I screwed the thumb bolts into the boards until they were snug. The board already fit pretty snug but the thumb bolts keep it from sliding out of place. I stapled some very thin foam padding along the side of the board that touched the front of the bed. Another alternative to the thumb bolt was a lag bolt with an eye end rather than hex head end. I had them both lying around but tried the thumb bolt first and liked it.
Changed out my Raptor style grille lights, to the wider 3 light set from Custom Auto Works.
If anyone is interested, the narrow 3 light set up I took off are free, just PM me New wide setup
So i haven't done anything to my truck as of yet but I ordered fun things. I have a 2015 f150.im building my truck to be a a king ranch or higher.. Right now I'm ordering parts and spent my three month allowance my wife gives me. Lol so here is what I ordered so far folding tow mirrors with the cameras, sync 3 upgrade, floor shifter,and last but not least the heated and cooled seats. If I would of found this website sooner I probably would be doing things differently
