Default My truck build!

Hey guys! Just picked this 2009 F-150 Lariat 5.4 up last week and already love it! Recently had a 2006 XLT SCab.. the upgrade was well worth the payment bump is all I can say!



Well here goes with all the mods/upgrades I plan on doing!
- Mounting and hard wiring in blue light (Vol Firefighter)
- Reinstall Leveling kit
- Gotts Mod
- Bug Shield and Vent Visors
- Window Tint
- HID Head and Fog lights
- Under Tailgate Brake/Turn Signal/4 Way LED Light
- Cat back SIDO Magnaflow Exhaust

This is just what I have planned for now.. will def keep updating!

Got the Light installed and hardwired in. I used where the factory installed brake controller would normally be. Theres a little hole that keeps the rubber mat in there that was just big enough for all the wiring I needed so I didn't have too drill or destroy anything to mount the switch in.




Also did the Leveling kit.

I want too say the headlights are 8k and the fogs are 6k.

My friend owns a car accessory shop so she orders my stuff and I get good prices.

The cut off isn't too bad.. I'm gonna order Spyder Halo headlights soon so not too worried about it.
