Not sure if this is the proper place for this (Please mods delete if not) but this is not a build thread persay as much of a Modification Thread.

Well I bought my truck back in October, told my wife it was perfect just the way it was.....that lasted 3 months lol.

The truck stock:

Mod #1...K&N Intake. I found an open box on ebay 1/2 off, cant beat that! I think was early January. Following K&N went from 24.5 MPG at 65 to 25.7. I'm still a bit mind blown by that myself, but hey in a 120 mile round trip work commute, I'll take it!!!

Shinyside

Mod 2: 20 inch LED Light Bar. Again ebay special, $45 to my door, included full wiring kit, super easy install, and I hid the switch in the glove compartment, perfect!

Shinyside

Mod 3: 2 inch rear lowering shackles and shims. Barely used, $55 to my door. Completed the look I was after

Shinyside

Mod 4: Start Raptoid Grill install. Again, found used, very slightly used, not only did it already match the Flame Blue, but the install couldn't have been easier!

Shinyside

Mod 5: Grill LED install, cost me a whole $2 in nuts from Home Depot. Had sheet metal at the house to build a bracket, left over LEDs from my old sport bike, and all the wiring I needed from back in my tuner days

Shinyside

Mod 6: a One-Off STX grill emblem, from a Ford Ranger (kept it in the family). A little bit of my touch, and bam!

Shinyside

Mod 7: Got my FORD letters in, and a little bit (okay a whole can lol) of Blaze Blue Plasti-Dip, and tah-dah. Great Touch!

Shinyside

Mod 8: I thought this was a nice match to the Red in the STX Emblem and Bed Decal. If it gets old, its a peel away

This might be a bit nutty, but dangit if I don't love it lol! You've heard of a Super Duty, well meet Super Duper lolol! And reflective nonetheless!
