Well I guess I’ll get this kicked off… with my beloved 1995 F150 XLT 4x4. She’s current at about 208,000 miles, original 302 and automatic transmission. Outside of eating reman starters, all I’ve ever done is basically routine maintenance but always tried to do things to get ahead when I could.

Mods:
31x10.50R15 BFG Mud Terrain Tires
KN cold air intake
Updated 96 front bumper
Panasonic stereo (used to have 2 Memphis 10” subs and Memphis amp behind the seat)
F250 springs in front
Chrome tube steps
Flowmaster knock-off muffler and dual pipes

This has always been in the family, was purchased originally by my grandmother’s uncle, who lived about a mile up the road. After he passed away, my parents purchased the truck from his estate with about 24,000 miles on it in 2000. My sister drove it a couple years then I took it over in 2003 when I got my license.

The rust was fixed on the bed in 2005, new fenders in 2009, then a rust free bed painted/installed in 2013.



After the new bed in 2013


Of course it was the getaway ride at my wedding!

Most recent, needs a bath!

Edit to add:


Original window sticker was in the glovebox. I’ve had it framed for easily 20 years.

I will toss my hat in the ring too. My Bright Red 2005 2WD F150 regular cab XLT was built in Norfolk, VA on February 1st 2005, & was purchased by me the end of April 2022 with only 80,400 original miles. It has the 5.4L V-8, 4 Speed Auto Trans, 3.73 LS Rear Axle, PW, PM heated, PL, A/C, Speed Control, Tilt Wheel, Premium AM/FM/CD/Clock Stereo, Gray Cloth Interior, Bright Polished Tubular Running Boards, Trailer Tow Package, Locking Tailgate, Fog Lights, Self-Dimming Rearview Mirror, XLT Package, mini overhead console, Privacy Glass, & Adjustable Pedals. One of the previous owners (I am the third) added a Magnaflow cat back exhaust system, hard shell tonneau cover, chrome gas cap door, & spray in bed liner. I replaced both headlight assemblies, & the driver's side seat cover & foam cushion.
Mods I have done include,
replace the center jump seat with a center console,
vent visors,
bug shield,
added a radio interface so I can play all my music thru the stereo with my MP-3 player,
added 2 LED lights & switches as map lights to the mini overhead console,
replaced the original 235/70R17 wheels & tires with 275/65R18 wheels & tires that were take offs from a 2013 F150,
red Ford oval logo on rear window.
Future mods include,
New front struts with 2" leveling kit,
new rear shocks,
tailgate light bar,
LED puddle lights in the bottom of the mirrors,
LED bulbs for the fog lights, stop lights, reverse lights.
As purchased,

As it sits now,

OK, here is my '07 FX4 Scab Flareside that I've had since 2009. It has the 5.4, it's hard to hear it run except for a mellow exhaust note at 78,xxx miles.
  • It has a full stainless exhaust with single 3in/dual 2.5 out rear exhaust and includes a 28" long 3" ID glasspack in front of the little chambered type muffler,
  • Hellwig 1" rear sway bar added,
  • lowered 2" both ends,
  • SC-1865 tuner,
  • Undercover 2090 bed cover,
  • Line-X,
  • extra drop in floor covering on the Line-X,
  • Delphi SkyFi for XM,
  • Wade molded floor mats,
  • DIY Under rear seat storage.


On the road home view.


Bed I got and try to protect.


Cut down liner slides in out easily for cleaning.


Under seat storage.


Just a drive.


Hellwig RSB.


Not long after lowering.


Love these floor mats.


With my older truck very recently.


Bed Net keeps stuff near tailgate. made from HD thread and a set of tie down straps. It was winter and I was recovering from something.


She zeroed in on this one when I had pulled in to look at the one across the road.


It popped though. Sat too high though.


Color matched air tube mod.



Front.
