hey guys, so my truck list has been adding up so i thought i would start a build thread. here we go!
bought my truck christmas eve 2010. bone stock 2006 lariat scab 4x4 with 38k miles on it for $13000. it has the 5.4L flex engine, tan leather, shaker 500 audio system, and a bunch of other options.


first thing i did was get a new stereo. it is a JVC KW-AVX640

next thing i did was save my money for what felt like forever(going to college full time and working full time really sucks!) and i got my lift kit! it is a fabtech 6in with bilsteins up front. also an AS 2in level and skyjacker 1.5in AAL.

then saved up for another large chunk of time and got my tires. they are 37x12.50R17 BFG KM2's.

then saved up for yet another while and got my rims.(see a pattern here?) my rims are 17x9 -12mm backspace fuel hostage black and machined.

 

off to the shop to install everything.

back from the shop and it was looking pretty damn good to me.


i forgot to mention that i go offroading pretty frequently when it wasnt lifted so the day after i got it lifted i headed to the offroad park. sorry no street queen here. after all that fun i got a new UWS tool cheat and bed mounted my high lift.

then i got the black out bug...the guys at home depot knew me as the plasti dip guy.

 

mid blackout i took a pic of my little toy in front of my big toy. its a buggy i built from the ground up using a yerf dog frame.

so the gf was complaining about getting into the truck so i got some functional rock sliders that were steps too from ADD. welded them directly to the frame.


then started putting in ebay blue leds in the interior, cargo lights and license plate lights.

 

then came exhaust. its a magnaflow y-pipe, flowmaster super 10 series, and 5in gibson slash tip. all 3in.


next i got a grille overlay from a member on here and put it on my oem honeycomb grille.


after that i got some new style 4x4 decals in matte black and put them on.


thats it for today. tmw i will post up pics of tinted windows, tinted tails, fuel door, hids and switchbacks.

 

Nice I like it! tinted tails soon?

 

haha sorry spoke too soon

 

Great build. And one of the best looking trucks on the forum.
Good job man!

 

Your truck is bas *****! When I first seen your thread when you put the lift and tires on it made me want to lift mine so bad. I settled for a level since I don't actually go off road lol
Anyway sick truck man

 

okay so next thing i did was tint my tail lights and got my windows tinted. i did my tails myself with nightshades and the windows are 5% in back and 20% up front.


after that i did some little things to the truck just for appearence. got some saleen side vents off ebay and a billet fuel door that i painted both flat black.

 

Looking to see if you have a link to those side vents? They are pretty cool, how easy is the install?
