Project Black Cherry

[BLACKCHERRY]

Ordered 4/20/2021, Estimated delivery window 8/12-8/18 - truck showed up 2 days early. I've posted it in the 2022 thread and another thread i started where I compared this fully-optioned lariat to a Base-Platinum. I ended up choosing this rig as I LOVE the Lariat Blackout package.

It came in yesterday morning and I got the call it would be ready by 3pm. I showed up in an UBER at 2:58pm to find all the salesman drooling on my new truck; it was the first 2022 they'd received.

Spec:
2022 Rapid Red F250 SRW 4x4, Crew Cab
Lariat Ultimate
6.7L Powerstroke
Black Appearance Package
Tremor
Power Running Boards
High Cap Trailer Tow, PTBA
Roof Clearance Lights
Upfitter Switches
397 Amp Alt.

Here she is, as she sits, stock as a rock for the VERY short time she'll look like this:

Put the kids to bed, strapped on the headlamp and set out for my first long night in driveway with the Tremor. Hit the LED light button in the bed to find I really didn't need the headlamp but it was nice to have to run the drain lines. Installing this by myself was... Interesting but only took about an hour. If you can't front-squat 100 awkward pounds with rails attached, I recommend having a buddy help you.

Very sharp, how dark did you go?

 

[BLACKCHERRY]

Wheels came back from Powder. Have them coated in Gloss Black to match the accents. American Force EVO Forged 20x9" custom machined with smooth lip, logos only.

I don't really know, lol. I have a buddy that does tint and told him I want the rears slightly darker than stock and the fronts to match; then the lightest "tint" he could do on the windshield. I wanted ceramic on every glass surface to block heat and protect the interior. I love the way it turned out but leaned on him for the shades as he's the expert. I could probably find out if you really want to know.

Thanks. I need to figure out how I want to black out that giant chrome strip on the running boards, it's an eyesore on the truck. Seen a few threads where people removed it but think I'd rather mask/paint it or something.

There’s nothing better to do then just remove. It’s a strip of cheap double sided taped piece of chrome. That’s all it is

Gone!

 

[BLACKCHERRY]

Gone!

Looks WAY better. I heard there's a little recessed channel that looks out of place with the end caps if you just remove it. I suppose I'll have a look this weekend.
