Gave in and I'm going to finally make one....
Excuse lack of pictures since I lost all of my old pictures due to a new phone.. I'll try my best..

In the beginning: 2011 FX4 Ebony Black, Ecoboost

Black2011FX4 Build Thread-image-2533009641.jpg

First mod: Wheels and tires. I got these before ever joining the forum, and at 16 years old, I impulse bought and was unhappy the next day. I got 17" Gear Recoil wheels, and 285/70/R17 Nitto Terra Grapplers.. (And yes that's a rainbow lol)

Once this was done, I thought Recon Headlights would be a great investment! At the same time, I purchased SOLO performance 4" single exhaust kit!

I liked the Recons until I had to use them as actual lights.. So yeah they were also on the list to remove..

Next mod was a leveling kit. I went with the BDS 2.5" and no rear blocks. It sits perfectly level!

A couple days later, Joseph completed my retrofits, which finally replaced the Recons!!

I also got halos that can change colors, which has been really unpopular on the forum, but whatever lol

And the latest mod.. Replaced the Terra Grapplers! I went with Trail Grapplers instead, 35x12.5

That's how she sits. Hope you guys like it! Thread should be updated here pretty soon, got new speakers and a couple subs on the way, as well as some AMP power steps.

Many mods to come!!

(Other mods not pictured, or too subtle to mention: Moody Blue overlays, plastidipped mirror reflectors, USB2, running board removal)

Here's a couple YouTube videos.. first one is of the RGB Halos, and I know that many of you won't be a fan, but a lot of people my age seem to like them, and I do too! The second link will be a sound clip of the SOLO exhaust kit. I took this video when it had 1500 miles on it, so there was a bit of carbon built up in the pipes. This exhaust system continues to get deeper in tone, and I LOVE it!
