Hey guys and gals. I'm new to the forum and just recently purchased this gem last week. It's a bone stock 2007 Screw Lariat 4x4. This is my first F-150 and I see it being my truck for the next several years. I bought it with high mileage but the dealer threw in one hell of a warranty. It's fully loaded with navigation.

Plans for the truck:
-lighten the tint (the previous owner put it REALLY dark, borderline depressing in there).
-CAI
-Exhaust
-Suspension upgrades
-Replace front tires
-Running boards/steps (short man with short family)
-bedliner
-tuner
-replace factory subunit under back seat to increase storage (need help here)
-toolbox in bed
-get highlight jack and mount inside bed.

Any advice or constructive criticism is always welcome.
I'll post better pictures later tonight.

Nice to send another 04 - 08 build up here. I don't see too many on here.

I know. Believe me if I had more dough to fork out for a newer one, I would have. But this one's the best I could afford. Couldn't ask for more. It's a pretty bad A
truck I'm not going to lie.

Brought 'er in to the dealership today for what I was hoping wasn't the whole phaser issue. Turns out what I was hearing was the fuel injectors (?). Since that is the 3rd person to tell me that, I guess it's not the phasers thankfully. Anyone else have this fuel injector sound?

Its nice that yours came with tow mirrors, i think they're badass. Widens the stance up a little

For sure. I feel like the stock 20's plus the tow mirrors really set it off for a stock truck.

A couple of mods coming up but until then my truck is doing more than I could ask of it. From driving up paved mountains to driving through the snow (a first for me).

Does anyone have any experience with the more cost-effective LED light bars and quads?

I installed a cold air intake today. Went together fine and didn't take too long but now when I start it, it'll just idle and then proceed to die when I give it enough gas to get above about 1200rpm. My dash shoes "Engine Fail Safe Mode". I'm not sure what I did but I ran out of daylight to figure it out. Anyone have any ideas?

Did you leave the MAF sensor off or not reconnect anything?

Also, very nice looking truck

Went to purchase leveling struts today. Decided on the Bilstein 5100's but everyone and their mom is sold out and on backorder. I've heard such positive reviews that I'm going to wait it out instead of going with another strut.
