Default New (Ford) Guy

Hey all, name's Nick. New to this forum, but not forum life. I believe this is #4-5.

Anyhow, I'm from Indianapolis and bought my 2007 F150 XLT almost a year ago with 56,000 miles on the ticker. Yes, it took me a while to sign up.

I was born and bred on Ford. At the fresh, young age of 28 my Ford list includes:
1987 Ford Crown Victoria LTD - Long gone
1983 Ford F150 with a 351W - Long gone
1993 Mercury Sable - Long gone
2001 Ford Escape - Sold for F150
2010 Ford Edge - Wife's current DD
2012 Ford Shelby GT500 - Half fun/Half DD
2007 Ford F150 XLT - Splits DD

Truck had several mods when I bought it:
HID Headlights/Fogs
LED Tails/3rd brake light
Westin step bars
Pypes exhaust
S&B air intake
Truxedo Deuce bed cover
Saleen? grill
Leveling kit

I have recently developed the dreaded P/S manifold leak and am taking it into the shop Monday to be looked at/fixed. Hope it's ready to roll for my Talladega trip on Thursday.

Enough of the talk... I know all forums love their pictures...

This what my truck looked like when I bought it.

This is after some Plastidip fun:

I haven't taken a picture yet, but I have also black Plastidipped my front and rear bumper. I'm not much of a chrome guy.

Here's a couple other of my loves:

Look forward to learning more about my truck and networking. Some of the coolest car guys I know I met through car forums.

Thanks! I tell you what... that 2520 may have been the best money I've ever spent.

Thanks guys. She's my pride and joy. My truck is just the bad weather vehicle and workhorse around our property.
