Somewhat New Here
Hey guys, just thought I'd introduce myself here. My name is Kevin, 26 years old AZ native and have owned my 2007 F-150 XLT 2WD 5.4 for almost a year and a half now. It has almost 130k miles on the clock and is still a solid machine. I use this truck as my daily driver and as the primary battle tank when my friends and I take our dirt bikes out, camping, and whatever else it is us hooligans do.
I haven't done much to it since I'm working on paying it off by the end of the year. Items I have done is a tailgate extender and recently a HBS 2.5" level kit. I have some plans for it but doing little by little to keep me lovin' this rig. Tires right now are 265/65/17 Falken Rocky Mountains that it came with as well as spray in bed liner, and a loud exhaust. I don't care for how loud it is and my dad says it sounds like a mexican truck *sigh.*
About a month after I bought it I took it up to Flagstaff to visit a friend.
Tailgate extender I bought for $50 off of Craigslist in practically brand new condition. Helps when I have three dirt scooters in the back plus gear, gas cans, and such.
Also bought these last week off of craigslist for $400 with about 90% tread. They are Falken Rocky Mountain AT 295/70/17.
Installed a HBS 2.5" level kit with some help from a couple buddies. Getting it re-aligned on Thursday then getting new wheels and having the above mentioned tires put on. I'm really leaning towards the MB TKO's. 17x8.5 I think it is. Discount has a really solid price of $110ea. I've searched and not many people are running these wheels so I thought I'd pioneer them bad boys. Also, I realize my truck is dirty and also, my driveway is at an incline so not the best picture.
And here are my other sweeties.
Other mods I'm thinking about:
Nfab bumper guard pre-runner thingy. Where you can mount lights... Any opinions on these?
Projector retros
Color matched bumpers
Saleen Grille with color matched surround
center console (I have the retarded jump seat deal)
different exhaust (need to research)
Tow mirrors
A prius stuffed toy hanging from my bumper... like those Honda boys do with the pikachu dolls. Idk, It'd be sooooo USDM yo.
Comments go!
