2010 fx4 build
Hey everyone,
I recently purchased a 2010 supercrew fx4 in silver with the luxury package. It's got 194,000 miles, so I was able to get it for 14,000 dollars, which I think is a pretty good deal. It was a one owner, and the guy who had it before took extremely good care of it, and was the only one in it most of the time as I can tell from the other seats in the car. He really loved the truck so I felt good about the purchase. It has the 5.4 which should be reliable, so hopefully nothing goes wrong with it anytime soon. I've got a lot of things planned, but I'm only 16 so my money is pretty short, but I've got about 1000-1500 I've saved up I can spend as of now.
My future plans go as shown in order:
1. New muffler - flow master super 10
2. 2 inch leveling kit - not totally sure about which one yet
3. New tires - probably 295/70r18 nitto ridge grapplers
4. New wheels - I'm thinking havok H102 in black or fuel mavericks
5. New speakers and a 10 inch subwoofer - no clue what's best as of now
6. Rough country winch mounting plate and barricade 12,000 pound winch
7. 50 inch light bar - whatever's cheapest
I'll post some pictures as I go along, but it'll probably be pretty slow as my money is low haha.
Here's a couple from the blue ridge parkway I got a couple weeks ago.
Thanks everyone for any help along the way!

I'm about to order a flowmaster super 10 muffler. What is everything I need to install it myself? I'm getting the muffler and extra pipe as of now. Do I need clamps or anything else? Thanks!

My dad has a newer one, so I drove that for a year with my permit, so hopefully I don't wreck it or else I won't have enough money for any of the build haha

Quick update... I ordered the super 10 and some extra pipe, and then went to a muffler shop to get a quote for how much it would be, and got a little bit of bad news. First, the muffler I ordered won't fit my truck so I have to return it and get the right one, and second; I have a differential leak. Hopefully I'll be able to fix that myself, as I don't want to spend a lot of money to have it fixed, but I guess I'll see how it goes. Also, I'll be ordering the leveling kit this week and should have it installed as soon as possible. Any suggestions on which one and how big? I was thinking 2 or 2.5 inches and maybe a block in the rear but I'm not sure. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Does anyone know what size and offset muffler I need to get? I had the flow master super 10 but was told it wouldn't fit my truck. Do I need 2.5" in and out? Also, I haven't been able to post with school starting back up but the build hasn't had any progress, but I am ordering the right muffler hopefully this week, and the right leveling kit as I was sent the wrong one. Thanks to anyone who can help!
