I've been contemplating painting my wheels black, too. What did you use and is that flat, or satin?

I used Rust-Oleum FlexiDip. It gives it a flat finish. I noticed a couple chips in it on one of my wheels so I may touch them up.

I added switchback LED's to my front turn signals today. These were a pain to get working right.

This weekend a friend and I installed a Motorola PM1500 VHF radio in my truck, which was then upgraded to an XTL5000. The intention is to eventually use it as a ham radio and during storm chases. For now it is programmed with channels for work and some others.

Beautiful truck you have. I am thinking about doing some of these mods you have myself. Can you tell me what brand of laptop table that is and would it be easy to install in a 04 Sport Trac. Thank you

Its a Gamber Johnson mount. The base mounts to the passenger seat bolts. It was very easy to install and took less than 10 minutes.
