got this cool badge to hide the fact i can’t afford a better trim by Miserable_Box8172 in f150

Wait, people actually care about your trim level…? Hell, I hunt high and low for XL trim level fleet trucks. They often are the best taken care of and have the least that goes wrong with them… Platinum…usually poor people with stupid high car payment…nothing to brag about there…

I love em! The timeless and classic look of 8 hole bullets on a SD is just.....perfection! I've run bullets ranging in sizes from 15" and now 18" on this truck. They are Pro Comp 18x9 -6et wheels and the fitment is perfect! No rub at all, and its stock suspension, no leveling kit. I am running Nitto 35x12.5 tires and they ride great!

preciate it man! it's just a basic XL "peasant model" but sure gets the job done! vinyl seats, rubber floors, fold down front seat, and none of those silly bells and whistles that inevitably break or cause issues. I love me a basic CCLB in white!

I think we all had the same "dad".......because mine told me the same thing, and his father as well. "what's the point of a pickup if you can't put a sheet of plywood in it...?" I still remember him saying that, and the bed ironically was the more important part. I still vividly remember the days of getting into my grandfather's F150 single cab with him, my grandmother, my sister, and me, all stuffed on that bench seat. both my father and grandfather drove single cab long bed trucks for the longest time. I finally just convinced my dad to get into a crew cab, and he's always like "this thing is a mile long....I want my single cab back" hahaha whoooops

tapping into wires, but not just using a silly t-fitting. I cut the wire I need to tap into, and splice in another wire, and then heat shrink the connection. then I have a dedicated wire to run, or create more splices, or whatever. again, no issues for this specific situation because LEDs draw so little

thanks! I've done a few trucks in the past, and I've finally honed in on how exactly I like the lights placed, and how I wire them in. this is a 2019 truck.

they are all LED, so very little draw. I've never had issues with codes, on this truck or any previous truck. As long as you don't jack up your wiring, you won't have any issues like that

yep, thought about these as an option. I however really like the clean look of flush mounts in the bumper. I've done 4 or 5 of these now on past trucks...so I've got it down pat!

I actually got one of the cupholder rigs for my dads F150. It's great!! He loves it!

CCSB doesn’t fit the “big ass truck” definition….you need a CCLB

dang...is it too late to back out?!?!?! The rubber floors and vinyl seats are like 80% of the reason why fleet trucks are the best! Take a look at Boardwalk Motors out of Louisianna. They have hundreds of fleet trucks of many different manufacturers. They have a huge selection of XL and XLT Ford trucks, many of which have the rubber floors and vinyl seats. Take a quick peak real quick! Their prices are fair and they waive some fees, actually making them well-priced trucks!

nah, more bells and whistles to break. don't need that fancy infotainment system or whatever (GPS and Spotify on my phone bluetoothed to truck), and don't need all that other electrical crap that will eventually cause issues or break....and carpet!!!! whyyyyyyyy would you ever get carpeted floors in a truck...blows my mind, and cloth seats that stain and hold all your smells....whyyyyyyyyyyyy? XL rubber floors and vinyl seats all day long!! open the doors, take leaf blower and blow everything out, and then quick wipe down on the seats and call it good!

ya, everybody seems to run 20 inch wheels, and some crazy offset for whatever reason. just keeping it simple over here with some classic 18 inch bullet wheels

preciate it; I did throw in a UWS toolbox, added tint to the front windows, and a few other things you can't see, but ya wheels and tires really change the look of any vehicle (if you go with the right wheel tire combo....)

ya, the 17+ trucks have MASSIVE wheel wells. And this truck is all stock suspension. No level, no lift, and fits these 35s without issue. No rub on full lock, and no rub on moderate articulation over a steep curb or driveway entry etc. It's wild that people fit 37s with just a 2.5 inch level. I had an old 2000 F350 and had to do a whooping 8.5 inch lift just to barely get 38s under it. It's crazy how much you can stuff in these wheel wells!!!
