So a lot of you have probably seen me on f150 forum for awhile now but I never really introduced myself so... I'm currently 17 years old and in high school. I enjoy anything that has something to do with cars or trucks as I'm going to become a collision repair tech after high school and tech school. I got my truck roughly about a year ago. My parents got it for me and no I'm not the kid that goes around and tears up their vehicle thinking that mom and dad will buy me another one because that will not happen!, I treat my vehicle with respect and do the regular maintenance on it myself but as for everything that is on the truck right now has came out of my pocket. So let me start with a few pics of what my truck looked like when I first got it.

It had 194,000 Mi when I got it and Right now it has 202k, it came with a leather bed cover but I shortly took it off because it was to hard to put back on when it was cold because the leather didn't want to stretch. everything else was bone stock.

I always thought tool boxes looked good on pick ups so that was the first thing I bought a $280 kobalt tool box from lowes. I eventually came across the headache rack in a catalogue which I thought was neat plus you don't see to many on this era truck so I picked it up for $200 and bought some LED brake lights off ebay for $40 and installed them and what's on the truck now is what it turned out to be.

Thanks guys, a lot of these mods were done months ago so I might not have every exact pic on how I did them because I wasn't thinking about a build thread but anyway a few months my brother and I put on my Muffler kit (Flowmaster Super 10 SI/DO with the pipes) got em for helping my Dad lay a big concrete slab for a canopy, And yes they do sound really good has a deep note to it which is want I wanted with all four cats still on. Yes Flowmasters do have a drone to them but it Isn't as bad as some people make it out to be, only time it drones real bad is when I'm pulling the trailer. But overall I like it so that's all that matters to me.
