Hi everyone. I just bought this 2004 F150 FX4 with 190,000 miles. She came to me with a very smooth-running brand new 5.4L engine, serviced transmission, new AC, new wheels and tires, new brakes, and new wheel bearings. Mechanically she is in excellent condition. The front seats show the wear you would expect after 18 years, and the paint is about a 6 out of 10. I do plan to redo the front seats and repaint it. I am undecided on sticking with black or changing it to the electric blue. I am well aware what is needed to change colors. I have a strong background in OEM and aftermarket paint. I also plan to add 2 1/2-inch spacers with updated struts and shocks, add a double din radio with backup camera, LED projection headlights and taillights, LED dash lights, Weathertech floor mats, under rear seat storage tray (perfect place to store my AR or 870 lol). I am toying with the idea of adding a Raptor type gill but will drop the full-size brush guard and replace it with an EXO bumper mounted winch from Rough Country. Their site says it fits 2009 and above, but I think it will also work on a Gen 11 F150. I only paid $6,000 so I have some good room for upgrades.

A little about me.
Close to retirement age, work as a consultant to Automotive OEM plants and Tier One suppliers, love sports, hunting, fishing, camping, boating, live music, beach, travel and sometimes just being a lazy Mo Fo lol.
