Got the S&B 60 gallon tank installed at it's pretty sweet to see a DTE of 956 miles  I know that doesn't mean much when towing, but it will give me much greater fuel security when I'm out on the road with the 5th wheel. If I start looking for a station when I'm at 1/4 of a tank, I know I have some time before I need to worry about it. The only bad part is when you go to the gas station and it takes 3 runs of the credit card to fill up the tank 😢
 
Still need to install the Covercraft Leatherette Custom Seat Covers but it's been too cold around here lately. It should be easier to install the covers once it warms up a bit around here.
 
The dashcam was installed today. Fairly decent wiring job tucked inside the headliner, down the A-pillar, and to the BCM fuse box for the ACC & B+ connections. Here is a short sample of the video:

So many fun things to add to my truck, and I don't even have a VIN yet! 
The list keeps growing from a tonneau cover, to a new hitch, to a stubby antenna, to mud flaps, new running boards, not to mention the idea of new wheels and tires.

Finally gave her her first real bath!

Whoop whoop!
 

Here it is the long wait is finally over. Love it

Thank you to everyone in the forum for the help & searching my truck finally arrived 4/19 and i picked it up 4/19 as well didn’t have time to post anything here was busy playing with the new rig. But thank you to all i really appreciate it. Good luck to the folks that are still waiting for there trucks they will be coming soon trust the process. It’s really worth the wait like everyone says. 
 
2022 F250 King Ranch Ultimate 
No AS No spray in bed liner & No 5th wheel prep but really just need to dril the middle Hole out which is something i can do on my own time luckily. Good luck to everyone and trust it. 

I must thank everyone on this forum for all the information provided during my somewhat short process.  I feel for those that have been waiting longer tha i did, its gotta be very frustrating.  My truck arrived today and will close the deal at exactly 3 months tomorrow. Ordered 1/21/22 delivered to Rich Ford in Albuquerque NM on 4/20/22 . Funny thing is CSX tracking still says its in Blue Island Illinois. Proof below that aint so.

Well my journey will come to an end at 3 months to the day tomorrow. Got to drive it and look it over tonight. Will do the paperwork tomorrow. Ordered 1/21/22 delivered to Rich Ford in Albuquerque NM on 4/20/22. After 18yrs and 200000 miles my 04 F350 V10 will finally get a little break. 

My truck has finally been unloaded from the rail car, that means my tracking obsession is finally over!! Planning on taking delivery of the beauty on Monday. CAN'T FREAKING WAIT!

@Gharri30 ask and you shall receive

@FirstFord22 good deal. Now i need to know what stubby it is...smh 😅

Similar to what I have on my F150 but do not recall the brand.  Is that link from Stage 3?  I need to find step rails as well so wifey & dog will be happier.  The thin rock slider look is what I have now & appeals to me but concerned I may need a lower step to appease the family.   

@Gharri30 I forgot to update you on the stubby. I do still listen to the ole FM dial 😂 and I can tell you that I’ve had no issues. But is that truly saying a lot coming from the flat lands of Florida. 
 
I couldn’t decide between the 43X and the Sig - what sold me in the Glock was the $400 price point compared to over $600 for the Sig and HK

@Gharri30 here ya go:
 

Truth be told, I figured that if I hated it I could just have it removed and then go with the clear tint. I hate throwing money away, but it would be a lesson learned. And if the guy that can put any damn thing he wants on his cars is going with 50, then I should probably do the same. 
 
I’ll get you those photos soon of the tonneau cover. I tried to upload them yesterday, but I kept getting an upload error message. 

She's a beaut Clark!!! Shoot me a pic or two of that Bakflip if you don't mind, opened and closed if you got it, no rush though. Also let me know how that stubby does with reception, that is if you still listen to the ol FM radio..😅 Clean light install and nice choice with the 43x also!

I think I’m finally finished with the upgrades:
2.5” ProComp leveling kit with Fox 2.0 shocks and dual steering stabilizers. 
35x12.50/20 Toyo Open Country MT 
20x10 TIS 547B wheels -18 offset
BAKFlip quad-fold tonneau cover
2WD lower valance 
Raptor grill lights (easy install)
Every piece of glass tinted
ProTech screen protection
Husky X-act Contour liners
Stubby antenna 
Tailgate and taillight anti-theft
 
 and just for shits and giggles, I bought a Glock 43X today!
 
Damn I’ve spent some money on a truck that’s already expensive 😮‍💨. But I couldn’t be happier with this damn thing!

You should be fine in North Carolina compared to Northern NY. I think the truck looks better without running boards hanging down but that's me. I opted to not install the stainless strip on the outside edge which makes them almost disappear when retracted.

My opinion on Amps is when they work they're great. Mine crapped out after two years but I live in snow country where the norm in winter is snow, slush and road salt/sand. They have a 5 year warranty but when the pins in the brackets start getting tight, the motors can't retract or extend all the way and that's on you. I power washed them regularly and still had to remove the steps and soak the pins with every lubricant known to man and still couldn't get them to work when exposed to the cold. Our Expedition (under warranty) boards and my old Navigator both had issues.
 
If you live in a warm climate they're fine but I'd say forget them if your truck is exposed to winter conditions. I ordered OEM powered steps on my new truck because they'll be under warranty for as long as I own the truck. If they crap out this time I'll just bring the truck in tell them to fix it.

After ordering on 18 October, my F-350 Platinum CCSB 6.7 became mine yesterday (15 April), just under six months. No 5th Wheel Prep, no Adaptive Steering, no bedliner.
 

I had a soft roll up on my last so either will be an improvement over it. I might can swing the 50%, give me a little relief and some dash protection as you stated. 
 
She'll end up telling me she's driving separate..lol.

So here’s some pictures of the new ride. First two are fresh off the carrier. Second two are resting at home. 





 

 

Originally I was going with the retractable tonneau when I placed my original order back in November, but when I placed the new order I left the tonneau off. Then I did some research and decided I liked the trifold didn’t use up any bed space like the retractable systems do. But I think it’s 6 one half dozen the other. I’m sure the retractable is a helluva lot easier to roll up. 
 
I’m glad I tinted the windshield at 50%. Can’t even tell from the inside and this Florida sun is no joke on dashboards. 
 
I just can’t wait to see the photos of yours and hear about your wife’s reaction after the first attempt getting in/out with a toddler and infant 😂

Tonneau cover? I got the BAKFlip tri-fold and love it!
Screen ProTech? I should be getting it this weekend for the monitor and cluster gauges. 
Tint? I just tinted every window with 15% and 50% on the entire windshield and moonroof. 
I’ll be installing the Raptor lights this weekend. After that I think I’m finished. 

I Iike the look of the Tremor ones more than the ones that come with the BAP I'm getting but I wish Tremor ones hung just a bit lower.
