Thanks! I'll check it out. This is my first black vehicle. I was really hesitant because all I hear is how difficult they are to keep up, but it just looked too good to pass up.

They tend to be a pain to keep clean. Keep it away from your sprinklers, that or dry it off after your sprinklers cycle (each time). I wash mine every 1-4 weeks, depending on how dirty it looks. If I don't want to wake up early on Saturday, I'll run it thru a automated wash, after I gas her up on the way home from work. If she's been tagged by the pterodactyls around here, I'll run her thru the automated touch wash here on base, but if she just needs a rinse/wash, then I'll go to the touch-less wash near my house.

That's the problem with raising your truck. Looks like yours has about 2' clearance. Felt the same way with my '15 (purchased with 2" lift/leveling kit), had to stop near the parking garages and remove my CB antenna (it definitely would smack the supports for the next floor up). The parking garage for Universal Studios (L.A., CA), I thought for sure that I was going to scrap a few supports and a few lights, but didn't. When I had my AM/FM antenna on it, it never touched anything in that garage. Need to measure the truck height (cab and antenna, each) and watch what they claim is the height clearance.

yeah I mean this is the part that the antenna hits each one of them concrete beam that goes across is about 2’ down lol so it’s about 2” or 3” from my roof

Didn't even look at those, in your pictures. How close to your SAT antenna?

It hit my factory antenna on each beam, not my shark antenna didn’t even think about that while I was going in the garage

Cut your antenna off just above the highest point on the cab. Probably the shark fin .
If the antenna hits anything back up.[emoji40][emoji848][emoji24]

Just picked up a 2017 LTZ Z71. I traded in my 2017 Tacoma, which I loved but it no longer suited our family needs. I'm really excited to be in a full-size and am loving the truck.

19 months after I bought it. 4/16/20

I've actually scraped before in a stock truck, so be careful.

(don't worry, no Chevy was harmed. Boss's F150 on a work trip!)

Was going to paint the headlight chrome white but out of the white here maybe next year or when ever I get the hid bulbs delivered I'll check again.

The black and white looks real sharp with red accents. Where did you get the rear bowtie overlay with the red? I've been looking for one just like that!
