2011 XLT Project Log for Oledad's Toy
 
04/29/2011
I bought this truck brand new with 11 miles on it at the local Ford dealer. Never owned a brand new anything in my life,
and since my kids were pretty much all grown up. I figured it was time for Oledad to drop a few coins on Oledad.

Hardest thing to do was drill 15 holes in the roof of a truck with less than 6000 miles on the odometer. Measure 20 times. Drill once

They turned pretty good though. I'm glad there were many videos on YouTube with guys installing lights on top.
All I can say is... You can't use too much silicone.
(Oh, and don't skimp, buy the really good stuff too)

the truck looks really good, just dont "overmod it" too many mods and they become distracting.
