F150 Lightning Platinum - on order
Finally got my 2023 Platinum after 2.5yrs of waiting and delays. Ordered back in 2021, but like everyone else delays.
Here are some pics taken before delivery and after some mods.

Quick Mods
Added Leer HF35M Tonneau cover
Leveled truck, by dropping rear ~3” with Belltech shock, installed by wheel shop here on Oahu
My work parking garage has a height limit.
Tinting being done in a few days
Bed Rug on the way
Dashcam install (Fitcamx) - will review after install.
Looking at floor mats, TuxMat is an interesting mat, but they don’t ship to Hawaii.
Awesome truck, rides well, Still figuring out stuff. Will post some pictures post leveling

Congrats!

Welcome to the club. I’m on Oahu and have only seen like 4 or 5 of these on the island so far.

What shop did you go to lower the rear? I feel like the rear is so much higher than an ice f150. I wanted to lower mines.

Mod Industries did the lowering at great price. Used Belltech adjustable shocks. (A few threads in the forum about) He recommended getting a wheel alignment, which I need to schedule. (I never had a reason to lower a truck before). He said the rear was about 1/2inch higher than the front now.
