My truck when I first bought it back in June: Bone stock, 73,XXX miles, boring and begging for mods




Now after some mods.. (Mods in sig)







DIY Harley heads and tails. Tinting tails soon






Good ole 5.4 plug change. 4 broke, 4 didnt. 74,000 miles at the time. Replaced with Champions

Raptor grille lights


Let me know what you think, I have a lot more mods planned but im going to slow down since the holidays are coming up shortly and the girlfriend loves when i spend more time and money with the truck instead of her lol

KC-F150

I like those carbon fiber accents a lot! Good looking truck though, needs some tires man!

Thanks! Next year I plan on getting some 275/70/18 BFG AT's, but for now I have 2011 Fx4 take off Goodyear 275/65/18 on stock wheels (only paid $200 for the tires with 10000 miles so i couldnt pass em up)

But i totally agree, i want 33's bad! Leveling kit makes 32's look small lol

X2 on the carbon fiber accents! Did you just use vinyl cut outs? I've done a lot of similar mods on mine. How did you mount your LED bar behind the grill? I just temporarily zip tied them to the grill until I can figure out a permanent solution....

Sweet truck!!!

Thanks! As for the vents, they are very easy to take apart. Just stick your fingers in and pull them tightly out of the dash. Next there are 4 tabs on the Chrome ring, take a small screwdriver and unclip them. Now its apart and the vents are able to get to. I just cut a piece of vinyl from the sheet I had, laid it on and trimmed the edges to fit. Be sure to clean the vents before hand with some degreaser of some sort so the vinyl sticks. I got a sheet of carbon fiber vinyl on ebay for $20. 12"x60"

My raptor lights are also mounted with zip ties, but I cut the honeycomb out for the lights to look factory.

Very cool! I know what my next small mod will be now. Haha. Thanks! Glad I'm not the only one who used zip ties... Lol. I too cut the grill out but finding a way to mount them and still be able to open the hood has stumped me. Haha

Damn brother! That is looking sharp!

Just a little update on the truck. I replaced the VCT solenoids, changed oil to mobil 1 5w-30 full synthetic, and removed my leveling kit (sold it for $40 today). The truck still ticks, but it runs a whole lot smoother for sure! I now embrace the tick lol. As for the leveling kit, I've decided not to get 35's and a light bar with 4 Hellas on it due to never going off road. I went on a two track over the summer and I had to wash my truck three times to get it clean again lol Not gonna happen again!!!

I therefore decided to go with a semi-street theme for the truck: I did the DIY Harley head lights and tail lights. Spring time this is my to-do list: PTM handles/flares, Edge Evo, K&N intake, 8000k HIDs, JVC headunit, and if my neighbor gets the 22's he wants ill hopefully buy his like new 20" Roush chrome rims with Pirelli ATR's for the summer setup. If i dont end up with the Roush rims, I may save up for 20" KMC Rockstars (yeah yeah, i know the Brostars are everywhere). I would also like to repaint my bumpers and undercoat my frame. I also really want the towing mirrors with signal but those aren't too high up on my list at the moment. I wanted to upload some new pics of the truck but photobucket isnt working for me at the moment.

Still looking awesome. What is a "two track"? My truck is an FX4 like yours but no way in hell would I really take it off roading. That's what a quad is for.
