Added a Topper to the Ford

[Cecil]

This way I can keep gear dry for sports (I coach football and baseball.... thus always have a truck load of gear) and road trips.

The quality or the pics blows...... my phone leaves something to be desired for a camera....

I got both Road Armor bumbers and the Winch about a month ago.

I wanted a taller topper, though the flush ones tend to look better.

Thanks, I am the opposite with the tonneau vs. toppers.

I use the topper to keep stuff dry that would not fit as easily with a tonneau cover.

Plus, the dogs love riding in the back.... and on road trips, I will crash back there. :nerd:

[88RedRex]

I have a set of 7 footers.
However, I have to leverage a hill to get them in and out. :lol:

That's why I am backed into that little gutter thingy.

Personally, I think the next few things you should do are.

Black 05 grille, 05 black harley lights, and maybe powdercoat the wheels black.

Truck looks good though, those iron bull bumpers are the shit! Id have some if my truck had a black bottom.

Next mods are along the lines of:

2 more inches of lift
40's
Ladder Bars
Black Wheels
Black Step Bumpers
Black Grill
Over-sized Tranny Pan
Re-install Train Horns

ARP Studed 6.0L

Who did your head studs?
What did it run you?

Who did your head studs?
What did it run you?

Ran me $400, the price of the studs.

My wifes mother is a service advisor for bartow ford, and I had it done through them, but I wouldn't count on that anymore as they're cracking down HARD on the 6.0 headstud issues.. Which I don't understand why after the first year of the headstud/egr BS, they didn't stud them from the damn factory.

Anyways, I have some procomp ladder bars for sale if you're intrested, for a crew cab short bed. They're $441 new from 4wheelparts, I'll take $250 this week, all they need is a bushing set from 4wheelparts that runs around $12. Just need them gone to finish a project.

Also, what size tires are on those 20s now, 37s? If so, and you want to sell, shoot me a price.

I am interested in the ladder bars.
