My factory F150 takeoff 20s came with Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenzas. They seem to be wearing like concrete and have left me so impressed with the winter performance that I'll be replacing them with the same tire again when they finally wear out at the end of this coming summer.

I just...
Here I am, a month later with a few more pictures and some review information.
First, a couple of pictures of the BrakeMotive brakes behind my wheels. I love these brakes so far. It is so nice to not have to wonder if the truck is going to stop or having to pump the pedal to get it firmed up...
Do not buy from Oracle. My friend owns a shop that is Oracle certified and has had nothing but issues with their products.
Have a look at my thread for the bulbs I used.

Depending on what amplifier you go with, you can actually get it to fit back there with the Stealthbox. I'm using a HD900/5 that's crammed inside my dash under the radio.
Class D amps that have enough power to run that sub are getting smaller and smaller.
Shipping is typically in the 30-40 range. I don't get back to work where the box is until Tuesday. I'll take measurements and weight a again and PM you prices.
This is pretty much how it is. Earlier this summer when I did the retro to the Expedition, I ordered all of the parts from The Retrofit Source with the understanding that the tech support was amazing (and it is) and that the products are above par in quality. They sent me everything I needed to...
It has been a couple months since I've updated on here. I've been working crazy hours and haven't had time for very much.
Since the last time I posted in this thread:
I went to the Four Wheel Jamboree in Indianapolis after a ton of rain and found out my tires are terrible in mud.
I installed...
Thanks Matt.
Yep, as long as you've got a factory subwoofer, the Stealthbox fits all models without modifications. More information is also here:

That's a nice TV. I sell LG and am actually sitting in front of one of those right now.
I'll be following suit in a few short weeks with a 60" Sharp. I like their ability to be controlled through the network port by my Control4 system.
Just did the brakes on mine last weekend. Front is 9mm hex and rear is 8mm hex (IIRC). Had fun driving around town looking for a 9mm allen wrench or hex socket.
That's great to hear. I'll quit being afraid and possibly try to pick one up this winter. Anything special about either of the brackets that would prevent me from being able to male them myself with some sheet metal if I can't find a set?
Got 120k on my 07. Other than a couple of interior rattles that are mostly my fault from taking things apart so many times... The vehicle has been mechanically wonderful. My dad has 140k on his 07 F150 with the same motor. Only thing he's had to do other than standard maintenance is the AC...
I've been hoping to see someone end up doing this. I've been looking at doing this for a couple months now, but don't want to lose the ability to fold the middle section down for a fold flat floor for when I buy a house and need to move a bunch of shit. One thing I was worried about was the...
When they painted the grille, did they clear over it?
I'm sure you know this already but hydrographics are clear coated after application. If you are having issues with chipping on clear coated paint, then I don't think the hydro is going to hold up much better.
I have heard of people successfully changing over to the stem style. Glad to see someone on this forum has had success. Might be an option.
Haven't been driving the truck much lately, and since I had the day off, I decided to take care of a few things that needed addressed.
Drivers...
Looking great. Was hoping to see some progress on this.
Leave the door handles chrome or paint to match. Black handles will be like black dots on a giant sheet of white. I don't think it'll look right.
I've had to install those cheapass caliper covers on a couple Corvettes and Camaros. Bleh...
