Just purchased a 2010 F150 XLT 4x4 5.4 Screw and I am so stoked to be back in the Ford Family. I have never been one to heavily modify my trucks, but I certainly like to make them my own. Most of my mods are on the cheaper side, but all serve a solid function. Let me know if there are any questions, comments or suggestions.

Stock, right after my purchase

 

My first mod was tinting the front two windows, simple and easy. I went with 20% to match up with the back.

 

Next came intake. I went with the Volant CAI Powercore. I've always run K&N, but I wanted a sealed box this time and I decided to give the dry filter a try. The install was a piece of cake, just simple hand tools and the quality of the new kit is top notch, plus you've gotta love the throaty growl it gives when you get on the gas.

 

Since I pushed more air in the front with the intake, thought I'd let it all out the back with a catback system. After careful deliberation and scouring the forum, I decided on a 18" Magnaflow muffler. The truck starts up with a nice growl and sounds great through the low gears, once you get up to highway speeds it shuts right up with zero drone. I'm REALLY pleased with the way it turned out. There is a local shop that custom bends SS tubes and welds everything up so you never have to worry about anything rattling loose or leaks.

 

This mod has been beat to death in the forums, so this will be short. I bought an adapter off Amazon, popped the tray on the dash and plugged in a 64 gig flash drive and Viola! I now have a built in hard drive with all my music ready at the press of a button.

hi man, i got the same truck, diff color and was wondering...

what's the EZ down and tie loops, and the just right door notch mod?

perhaps you could post a vid of 0-90mph of your truck, always thought of a volant, and never was sure about which exhaust to run. (considered borla) but i'm still researching what i may or may not like.

thanks

 

I had Bilstein 5100s on my last truck and knew from day one that I'd be putting them on the F150. I did my research and installed them myself, saving about $350 in the process. I love the new leveled look, wheels and tires will help a lot too...eventually.

Good lookin truck, congrats...

 

For $25 there is no reason you shouldn't have this on your truck...

 

I haul around multiple motorcycles quite a bit and it was a huge PIA that there were no tie down points in the center of the front of the bed...so I added some. It was painful drilling holes in the bed, but I was sure to clean them up and coat them with a little rustoleum, before adding the hardware. I used OEM cleats off a Toyota and they work perfect, the backing plate even fits very nicely underneath between the front bed wall and a support beam. The fit and work perfectly, a must if you're hauling bikes of any sort.
