Alright guys. I've had my truck since 12/11/12 and I figure I've done enough to it to justify a build thread! So here goes.
White Lightning is a 2005 FX4 F150 in Oxford White with gray two-tone that is LOADED with everything except sunroof.
It all started bone stock and looking like somebody never worried about the outside. Kind of rough, but easily cleaned up!

Then came a 2.5 Hell Bent Steel leveling kit and removal of chrome running boards. Around this point I decided I hated chrome...
Edit: I also got a 6" eyebrow and 35% front window tinting around this time

Then I discovered Plasti Dip... Did it to everything.... Only thing I still have is the 3rd brake light and the badges.

Then came the biggest of them all.... WHEELS AND TIRES!!!!
I got 18x9 XD Monsters w/ a -12 offset wrapped in 295/70/18 Nitto Trail Grapplers. (34.6/11.7/18)
A few weeks before the wheels and tires I also got some black and grey 2010 FX4 bed stickers to go with my color scheme!

After getting new spark plugs and a coil, I made sure my MT tires weren't defective! Lol. No street queen here!!
A few days after this I also got a 44 Series Flowmaster muffler with a 10x3" chrome tip. (Chrome to tie in a little with my wheel accents)
