Default New FX4 owner from Georgia!

Hello all! I posted this in the intro section as well but figured I would post it here since I'll be in the section most of the time!

Noob here from the lovely Ga! Name's Austin and I recently picked up a 2004 FX4 SCAB in silver metallic! She's currently bone stock but plans include a 2"-2.5" level, powdercoated black stock wheels until I decide on a set of wheels, blacked-out headlight housings, HIDs, good-sized off-road tires, darker window tint, Spyder (iirc) LED tails, some form of exhaust, and more than likely some sort of simple/small sound system! My list will grow though as I find inspiration from some of y'all! She does have the 5.4 which I am slightly worried about from reading up and lurking in the past few weeks before I bought the truck. I'm not looking forward to dealing with these 2-piece plugs I keep hearing about that's for sure! I will get pictures up sometime this week of her though!

This will be my second F150, the previous being a 97 XL, and third Ford. I look forward to hearing some constructive criticism, advice, and warnings, as well as getting inspiration for mods, and learning more about my truck!

Oh yeah I can't wait to start getting it all and installed. Although it will have to wait a few months or else my wife has already threatened to castrate me lol!

This will be primarily my work truck but luckily work is generally 90% off-road anyways!

I believe I'm already addicted too haha! I'm on a few other car forums and so far this one seems more easy going and friendly for the most part! Granted it doesn't help that my other forums are all BMW forums lol!

btw Roll Tide

Awesome! The mod list in your sig is definitely about what I want to do sans maybe the headrest TVs since this one is only a SCAB.

How much of a difference did the programmer make for you? Pretty noticeable?
