Yup. I get it. So let me get all "those" comments outta the way for ya....

"Lowered trucks are useless."
"Red wheels are stupid."
"Tire Letters are dumb."
"That roof is ridiculous."

Lol. There. Now that we have all that outta the way. Lol.

So after selling my previous ride a couple months ago, it was time for a truck again. With the growth of my business and the frequency of detailing out of town, we needed something to haul cargo when we load up & head to Georgia, Mississippi, etc. Not to mention, as my family grows, I needed more room.
This truck won't be going to SEMA. It's not going to win any crazy awards. That wasn't the goal here. The GOAL, was to take a base model truck (XLT), perform a few SIMPLE modifications using ONLY the "homies" we collaborate with on everyday projects. And build a daily driver that will snap necks & educate people how we can help BUILD a simple, sexy, transformed ride for them.
So here's what went down:
Crown Suspension 3"/5" drop kit
Hellwig rear sway bar installed
SK Glow LED headlights & foglights
Powdercoated OEM wheels "Jolly Rancher Red" by our homies at Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists
TredWear Letters
Brake calipers painted Nardo Gray
Shortened antenna from AntennaX
Front & Rear Emblem overlays
Custom Vinyl wrap roof, rear window graphics, headlight smoke, & B-pillars & full frontal SunTek PPF installed by the wizard Neil at CGS Vinyl
Fully debadged (except the sides)
Ceramic window tint laid down by the stud Shane at Tint One
Mild audio upgrades by the boys at Sounds Great in Hoover

AND I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO DETAIL IT YET LOLOL!!! At some point, Walker Morgan of MP Fab will get me some "go fast" goodies built. down the road. And the engine cover is currently out for custom painting.

Sometime over the next couple weeks I'll polish it up & get it ceramic coated. But for now, here's where it sits!! Decided to order the 3.5L EcoBoost motor & 302A package on this one. Can't WAIT to do "our thing" to it!!





















Exhaust tip getting hacked off tomorrow. Thanks for browsing.

I like it except the roof no offense but that hands down the dumbest thing I've ever seen...other than that it's pretty cool.....but if you don't have a front leveling kit with duratecs you are an outsider in this forum and prob won't even get a response......lose the roof job and it's pretty cool

vulnox

I like it, it looks to be very well done, and it is part of a complete theme. If all you had were red wheels on an otherwise stock F-150, that would be pretty odd, but as I mentioned it's part of the package.

Keep up the great work!

Lol. All good man. I expect ALL KINDS of flaming about it on here. My wheels are a color other than black. And I didn't lift it. No worries. I knew what I got myself into.

My roof has a meaning to it. But no need to get into all that. It'll be changed by the end of the year. That's the fun thing about vinyl.

Not a fan of the roof either, but love how the rest came out!!!! Never thought the whitewalls would look good, but go great with the red rims.

Canuck149

Not my cup of tea but those rear 3/4 view pics look cool. You defiantly won't be seeing several others like yours in the mall parking lot like most of us.

OK, not a fan of the roof either. Maybe some creative red pin striping instead??

Other than that, I think it looks pretty pimp.

I dont know, but something is missing to me. Color on roof, color on wheels and the rest is blank it seems like.... doesnt have a completed look to be honest

It's neat how the wheels make the tail lights pop

InsanePaint

Any "more" and it would be overkill. The goal is to have balance & contrast. Not overdo it. Allowing those colored elements to "pop" on the neutral Lithium Gray paint is what gives it character. As opposed to adding a bunch of other junk all over it. I appreciate the feedback though.

My previous car had a plaid roof at one point & argyle after that.

My taste is not "typical" to what most do on this forum. If I did a set of black wheels on a leveled truck I just might have a "cool truck" or could be part of the "fraternity." No thanks. Lol. I'll continue to "swim upstream."
