Sound Deadening:
Blackhole Mat

SGS Door Blockoff Plates

Started on the sound deadening. I finished the outside skin treatment on the front driver and passenger door. I used Blackhole Mat and then Blackhole Tile on top of it. The front doors are very solid sounding.

I used SGS block off plates. I drilled holes and installed nutserts. I used stainless steel screws.

I love the rapid red platinum BAP’s. Best looking combo IMO

When I saw the picture after the suspension, I audibly gasped. That's is a very well done ride. My compliments.

I believe the air dam is in danger.

Hows that Ridetech kit? No weird vibrations, etc?

The ride is the best I’ve ever had with a lower kit. I’ve used Belltech and VAS with Vikings.

I just developed a slight vibration when the transmission shifts from 1st to 2nd gear. I’m going to get under it and look at the driveshaft and retorque all the bolts.

Have you checked pinion angle? Idk if that is the culprit or not, but I have had weird shit happen with driveshafts when lowering vehicles.

Looks damn good! Rapid Red is by far one of the best colors! it kills me every day i couldnt find a Rapid Red in the 157"wb
Very nicely done. RR Platinum BAP are one of the best looking combos in my opinion as well.

I love Rapid Red, but the black accents REALLY send it over the top. A rapid red platinum with chrome is fine, but the BAP is crazy good. I'm not a huge fan of the power dome hood and wish they would've just blacked out the stock grille, similar idea to the Lariat Sport. But your truck is beautiful nonetheless

Looks amazing. Good job.

i oh so like that color
my former 21 f250 was the lucid red jump out and grab you
its an eye grabbing color

Amazing looking build!

I don’t typically care for lowered trucks, but man was this one done right!

How hard are the steering wheels to change out in the gen? I changed out my 18 STX for a Platinum steering wheel and find it to be a relatively easy upgrade. Wouldn’t mind doing the same thing with a Raptor wheel in my Lariat.
