Default Big Blues build thread

Hey everyone my name is Nolan and after stalking these forums for a few months I finally decided to join. I got my truck in February of this year and have been thrilled since.
Instantly I had big plans for my truck but I had to wait to acquire the finances this summer first. The first thing I did was a burnout at the farm (not really a mod but still fun)

For graduation, I got a cap for my truck which was very nice for senior week to transport my luggage. Kept that on until about a week ago when the window broke. Gonna get it fixed and then painted and put it back on eventually.

Then I bought and installed on a very hot afternoon a Spectre Cold Air Intake which has been great. Helped mpg a bit and gives me a nice rumble inside the cap.

On July 4th, I tested the off road capabilities pretty damn good and drove it into a ditch which I underestimated at work since I was parked in. Also the cap is shown well in this picture.

One of the bartenders hooked up to me with a GMC Yukon. Gave me the little bit of extra boost I needed to get out. I blame it on not having the proper traction which is what I needed.

Then I towed the boat around a bit with the hitch attached to the bumper. Handled it excellently.

Along the way I invested in a license plate to take my truck on the beach and fish. Well worth it. Yet again my baby showed why ford is amazing and handled the sand like a champ even though I have barely any tread.

Currently looking into a 4 inch rough country lift and some tires and rims and an exhaust kit.
Comments and suggestions welcome.
Thank you

Looks good so far and id defiantly go with the lift but personally I would have gotten a bed cover instead of a cap
