Default Project Storm Trooper - '12 XL 5.0 4x4

Well, July of 2016 it finally happened, my '99 XLT with nearly 300k miles on it finally had to be put to rest. I was set to get another F150, but did not intend to pick up a "lowly" XL. However, when I found an XL 4x4 with the coyote 5.0, tow package, power everything (windows, locks, and mirrors), oxford white, 27k miles, and a price that still makes me smile when thinking about it (friends and family discount). I had to jump on it.


Next post will be about the mods I've done in these first six months.
