Matt's 2004 F150 4x4 BudgetMan-Build Progress
Ok so as a few of you know, i recently hit a deer and banged up the front pretty good on my F150, So i got the insurance check and am fixing it up myself. Here's my current progress.
Before the Accident
After....
Bull bar was buckled on impact... $500 loss due to a insurance check box not being checked.... Moving on,
My Customizations so Far:
Transmission and Oil Pressure Guages on the Pillar
Today i Put my Supreme Suspensions 3" Leveling kit on, gonna have to keep an eye on those ball joins but shouldn't be too bad, No slack so far! Waiting for my bumper to come in so i can get an alignment
Before:
After:
More to Come! Cattleman HD Full front Replacement Bumper, Halo LED Headlights, Recon Tailgate light, Mesh Grill and 22" LED Lightbar!
To give you a visual, Heres everything i ordered minus the tailgate light
Future Wish List, Cam Phaser w/ Timing Chain kit, Then a bit after that long horrible job. I hope to get some 18" Wheels, with 35x12.50x18 BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain KM2-or even KM3 if they are out by time i get the money for them lol
BFG has been good to me and show hardly any wear so i will be coming back for more when these wear out!

Today i installed my Spyder HALO LED Headlights, Look pretty sick. Currently Changing the Side marker lights to LED's but had a bad batch, so going to have to wait for a better picture :P
Then i Installed my Recon Tailgate Lightbar, Had to grind the safety pin thing off the tailgate to make it fit right

I got it off ebay, its a 9x3.5 with Bolt on nuts. It's definitely made for the stock grill, but get some super tiny lock nut rings, and put about 4 or 5 under the nut until its a good snug fit when you tighten it down.
Here you go to get started with http://www.ebay.com/sch/sis.html?_kw...d=181496045429
