Upgraded to a 2004
I bought my first truck a year ago, it was an 01 f150. Was a great truck I had a lot of fun in it. This past weekend I sold it and I bought an 04. I really need a crewcab and the 01 was an extended cab. Wish I could of kept the 01, but I needed the crewcab and the 04 gets a lot better gas mileage. I bought this truck with a custom dual exhaust, I love the sound of it. I'm curious on other mods I can do. Would like to lift it, but it has brand new tires. I find no reason to buy new tires. If you guys have any ideas throw them at me.
Thanks!
Thanks!

You got a great lookin truck there! Looks like it's already leveled.. if you're wanting a lift, I'd start there, unless you're thinkin it's not the time yet, then I'd maybe look into the sound system? it really depends on what YOU want, some people prefer updates that others don't? Personally, I'd throw some Halo headlights on, tint the windows and get the sound system bumpin first! Then throw a lift whenever you're ready.

I'm interested in getting a double din and subs under the back seat, but I honestly don't understand anything that has to do with systems. I'm gonna look for a well known installer around my area to see what they can do. I am getting a quote for the windows to get tinted. Unfortunately the truck is showing rust around the quarter panels around the wheel welds. Thank you for the idea on checking on the pic thread.

Don't forget about the little things! I am installing homelink in my truck next week along with switching the interior lights to LED.

I would start looking at programmers first, I have the Edge Evo and its the best money I have ever spent on my truck. I wish I hadn't of waited as long as I did to put one on my truck, it's amazing how much better they make these trucks perform.

Another small thing you could do nsejda is get a lockable fuel door! love mine.. I mainly purchased it because when I first bought my truck it didn't have a fuel door. I think I paid under $100 for it, but I personally love the look.

I think your going to pretty happy with the difference its going to feel like a whole new truck, like I said it's by far the best money I have spent on my truck. I haven't messed around with it as far as custom tunes or things like that go, I just leave on the #2 Tow setting and that works great for me. Sweet looking truck BTW.
