Last weekend I threw a pair of FX4 decals on the truck. I know its not an FX4 but I love the look of the decals. The problem is that I put them on too far back, so I will probably end up pulling them off and either trying another set out, or finding a different style of 4x4 decals. Also, does this truck tend to sit higher than other F150's? I seem to be taller than all of the Fords with the same body style, and I was only about an inch shorter than a newer Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab 4x4.

The door trim is held on by double sided tape. I would definitely take the pin stripes off. I owned a 2001 Screw for a while, and I removed the pinstripes, but I left the "Lariat"
Here's my old truck, with the pinstripe:

Nice looking truck btw. Can't believe only 50k miles, my 01 had 128k on it. If you don't mind me asking, how much did u pay for it? Around here trucks like these go for $10k and up with over 100k miles

Thanks! The stripes are definitely getting removed after seeing your pic. I paid 12,500 for it. KBB is 15 so I felt I got a good deal. They gave me 1500 for my 99 Mazda B2500 with 130k and a clutch that was BARELY hanging on. It had some surface rust in 3 roof grooves, but I took care of that this weekend. The only other body rust I can find is where the bed side panels meet the rear panel behind the tail gate. I'll be taking care of this in the spring, and doing an undercoating.

I am not a fan of the wheels though. They have to go. There's a set of fx4 wheels on CL for 225, but IDK if I want these or an aftermarket set.

Yeah I wasn't a fan of those wheels either. The FX4 wheels were the best looking stock wheel, and the king ranch wheels. A guy on my other forum (Bigun, used to be a member here) had those stock wheels that u have now, and he used vinyl to add some black to the wheels and it looked really good. heres a pic. Just giving you an idea if you don't want to spend any money right now. But If I were you, I'd just buy aftermarket wheels, instead of buying the FX4s. Or keep your current wheels and do something like Bigun did.
