Default IBF150 Build Thread

Well I bought the truck stock on 03/22/11 and seems like it has been my never ending project ever since.

Some stock pictures:





Sometime around the end of July UPS delivered my Edge Evolution programmer, 6" Rough Country Lift, 17x9 Fuel Offroad Hostages -12mm offset 4.5" backspace.




I would have loved to install the lift myself but, being a full time student at Xavier University of Louisiana and working 40+ hours a week it just wasn't possible for me to do.

At a local shop having the lift installed

and right after I brought it home


Planning ahead for my interior upgrades I went ahead and got 5% tint done

One of the best upgrades I got were the N-fab step bars, people often complained about getting in and out of the truck, even had a girl or two fall out silly city girls.


The truck still had the original struts on it and they were wore out, I wanted to get rid of the big strut spacer that comes with the RCX lift so I got the 6" Bilsteins. They are a real PITA to install but the ride is great.




Then I decided to take care of the sound department:
