Some news on the build of the truck:

First of all, it had some issues in Texas. Intake tube fell off releasing the intake box - But because it wasn't completely fallen off the engine was having minor issues that culminated in the hood being taken off and this issue being seen. Engine kept losing power slightly then going again which alerted me to the problem.

The one-piece Fiberwerx clip mount hardware on the front left side was loose (fell off during the drive to Dallas) Hood was not as secure as I thought it should be.

Wiring for the truck was not in the best condition (to put it lightly) sensors for the parking brake were tripping everytime the truck was started and then would turn off after about five minutes of driving. Corey from RPG fixed that issue really quickly.

I had to fix the wiring for the Parrot to work on my way to Texas --- I was going crazy without music.

Shocks were not working well tuned as they were - Had the suspension pro from P1 Suspension retune them on the fly for a quick adjustment. Truck was completely different- handling was much better. The beast came alive then.

The truck is in Dallas right now but will be shipped to a Master Tech from Ford in PA to have all the wiring laid/improved- several things that Vinny Dastra will be doing involves removal of the Parrot and Sirius units and installing wiring for one central head unit for Nav/Satellite/Radio/Bluetooth

Hopefully caging and seats will be done here in Southern California as soon as it gets back home.

I'm sure no one would mind if you flooded this thread with pics of your awesome truck. Especially iphone friendly ones for lockscreen wallpapers! :)
