Cut off the factory exhaust in front of the muffler and had a Flowmaster 50 Delta Flow installed with turn downs at the axle.  More than pleased!

I have finally fixed the front end of my truck.

Needed a new grille, air baffle, and bumper. I went with a aftermarket bumper cause oem is too expensive. Night pictures make it look odd though. I was able to salvage quite a bit of this. If anyone needs any frame rail bumper brackets I have two brand new that have been bolted on and bolted off as it turned out I didn't need them.

I'm looking forward to the night pics.  I'm trying to decide between LasFit and Xenon Depot.  I keep reading that the LasFit is too bright in the fog lights, and I'm looking for an LED that won't break the bank (Morimoto) that is better than stock.  Read another guy that said don't go over 5000k color?  No idea why, as I thought it was the lumens that make everything brighter.

 

Two nights, no one has flashed me driving home.

I’m going backwards.  I just ordered a set of OEM wheels like below.  I’ll install them when I decide on new tires.  Probably going with a mild tread AT.  Something not as noisy as the STMaxx.

Good choice.  I like those rims.  Don't go with the Defenders for tires.  They SUCK.

Got the LTZ headlights, LTZ headlight bezel trim, and painted grille ready to be prepped & painted Deep Ocean Blue.

Only another month or so before I can install.

Ellis & Salazar called, headlight trim is painted - they're fixing a problem with the grille for me and then painting.

 

Will be collecting the parts on Friday before I leave for Galapagos Sunday! 

 

The parts will sit for 3 weeks at minimum before being wrapped.  Can't wait to get back to finish the install.

I am a fan of the Defenders.  I find them to be quiet, smooth and have great all weather traction.

Other than the noise was the STmaxx tires good?

Besides my daily ritual of driving to/from work, drove out to Stater Bros in Mojave for a few things, came home, put the perishables away, and went out and tuned my CB antenna.  Didn't quite get the measurements I was looking/hoping for, but at least now I'm less likely to fry my radio while transmitting.

Switched out my headlights. I* decided to be a guinea pig and try out Alla LED headlights. So far they’re not bad. Output is better than stock. I* haven’t gotten flashed at all. In the process of putting in my LED fog lights (same brand) I* broke the clips off of my stock fog light. So I’m hoping I can still get it out. The one thing that was way easier on my F150 was switching out the lights, that’s for sure.

They started off fairly quiet for as aggressive as they are.  They progressively got louder.  I can't use my voice recognition on the highway above about 35mph and my wife can't stand to talk to me over the hands free built in mic.  I had a conference call every morning when I was driving to work and they couldn't understand me and complained about the background noise.  I had to buy a Blueparrot B450-XT noise cancelling headset to be able to call hands free.  

 

The STMAXX hooked up good in the dirt, ok on the pavement.  But around the 1/2 or so tread wear, they started to feel out of round. I balance them and it helped but didn't cure it.  I just live with it.  It's not so bad it shakes the truck badly, but I'm sure the people that have complained about their new trucks vibrating would find it similar.  I had a friend that had a couple sets of Coopers with the AT3 carcass. He had similar out of round issues.  I'm probably going back to what I know with some Toyos.

Thanks for the info I'll look into the toyos and see.
