The tailgate rear door aera seems to be a problem. I don't know about the F250 but the 2500HD has huge gaps on the sides of the tailgate. I was told by a few people in the industry that water will come in that aera and wick it's way up the carpet on the topper. I installed a tailgate seal kit (For the 2500HD) Now I will have to wait for warmer weather and rain not snow like it has been doing. I am headed south in a week so maybe it will all work out!

Here it is!! My good friend worked late last night assembling the bumpers and installing them!! A big shout out to Brad Williams! I think they turned out great and it changes the whole look of my truck. Oh yea, we also removed the 2500 HD emblems!
So now all I have to do is install the folding shelve and do a mock up packing of my gear and essentials. 5 days until I leave so I will dub this the 5 days of Christmas!
I will try and post an update every day until I leave.

It looks so much better all blacked-out. Nice work!

For your sake, I hope so! If not, I have the X-Bull brand and really like them. No issues so far.
lol I have the X-Bull as well, I use them with my 4Runner. I swapped them and the mount. I will use these for now! If Santa dose bring me a pair I will not have time to mount them. I am leaving Xmas morning. So I will just use my old pair for now!

Love the build. Looking forward to see updates on your trip. I am trying to get new wheels/tires for mine as well also going bronze. Just can’t decide which wheels.
I started cardboard templates for my rock sliders this week too!
Your truck looks good! It looks like a 2500HD. Look into Method or Race line (Witch I have) for your wheels.
I will def up date with pics and maybe post some vids on my YouTube channel. I have not posted anything on there in a long time tho. Maybe this is a good opportunity for me to do that! Lets see the templates for your sliders. Have a merry Christmas!
