Default Boots 2.0 build thread

Well guys for those of you who know me or not about 2-1/2 weeks ago I got t boned in my 2004 ford f150 2wd. Many mods and lots of time (a year to be exact) went into it. And ofcourse her name was boots. I thought I'd start of showing a before and after the accident. Here's the day before the accident:

And here's the aftermath:

'twas a sad day but the lady took full liability as well as the truck was totalled from a bent frame and more damage money than the vehicles worth and within a week or so I found and got a new truck. Hence boots 2.0.
Here's completely stock at the dealer ship a
2005 ford f150 fx4 100k miles 4x4 was never used and it was very clean.

2.5" level kit
Edge evo CS programmer
Aftermarket stereo
Tinted tail and 3rd brake lights
Plastidipped emblems
17x8.5 lvl 8 rims. (+12 offset)
295/70/17 nitto terra's
Smittybilt light bar
4 hella black magic lights
2 Undercover swing case's
Bakflip F1 tonneau cover
Towing mirrors
K&N CAI
And here are some pics. I'll show more in depth in awhile but here's the outside for now.

I'm not the biggest fan of explaining my stuff but I like showing off my mods! So if you have any questions just quote and ask away!

Here's my swap from stock stereo to Sony deck as well as installing two light switches for my offroad Hellas inbetween the cig lighter and the parking sensor.

My friend helped me and he even thinks it looks stock. I love it.
Definately going to try to do something cool with the space underneath the gear shift in the center console. Not sure yet. Maybe CB in there possibly.

As for right now the only mods left that are on my list of things I already have bought are:
Cb
Camo seats

Things I'm looking into getting next:
Front hitch receiver for my winch
Tint the windows
Install my wacker lights (red and blue flashers)
Bed liner
SI/DO magnaflow exhaust
Possibly the 5 over head lights like my old one had.

Those 5 on top.


Tell me what you think! :thumbs up:

Update: just thought I'd let anyone know, just ordered some black HD headlight housings. Those should arrive Tuesday. Also I still have my camo seats, 2011 fx4 emblem and to change the lock code for my keyless entry to do this weekend probably. Going to try to go offroading this week before the rain drys up though.

Big update: Christmas came early. Getting a SI/DO magnaflow exhaust Saturday.

Any tips in the length of the muffler or where it should exit for the best sound?
