Default New here...Texas boy in New York

Hey all,

I have an 04 FX4. I am kinda new to the forums as far as writing goes, but have been reading for quite awhile. Thanks to those out there that helped me replace my IWE actuators and lower ball joints! I live in upstate New York, as I am stationed at Fort Drum. Family is in Hilliard, Ohio, so I am there a lot, too.

I am currently getting ready to replace my driver side hub / bearing assembly and shocks all around.

In the future, I want to add a bull bar, some lights, and some audio changes.

I have a 4" Rancho lift kit on her now, and 17" wheels running 35s. ONly other thing I have done is change the head unit on the stereo and tinted the front windows.

Open to any other thoughts...

Brian

Sweet truck, love the color! The only thing i would do would be to ptm the door handle buckets. Fort Drum is basically right down the road from where my family and i go on vacation.....Black Lake. If you're still up there in late June/early July and you want to fish one of the best lakes in the world we can definitely hook up.

Unfortunately, I will be in Afghanistan then. I brought all my hunting/fishing equipment up here...and just missed the season. What is ptm the door handle buckets? Never heard that...

But any time up here fishing or whatever, give an email yell...always wanting to get out!

PTM means paint to match, paint your door handle buckets yellow to match your truck. Its definitely an awesome look. When do you leave for Afghanistan?
