Default Casper's Build/Pic Thread

Hey everybody Im new to the forum and I just got my new to me 2005 Ford F150 XLT 2WD Supercrew.
Its the exact truck I have been looking for and I definitely love it so far.
It has 77,000 miles and is super clean.

Im glad because the guy I bought it off of works for Carli Suspensions and so he put Fabtech coilovers to give the front a lift.
It also has some fresh Toyo Mud Terrains -35x12.5x17- (yep 35s on a leveled 2WD) with very minor rubbing.
The truck also came with an Optima yellow top battery and it is already wired for a sound system. I also installed DDM Tuning 6000k HIDS in the headlights and fogs.

All I have for now is a quick iPhone pic but I will eventually be upgrading and modding along the way.
My plans so far include tint, Method Race wheels, color matched tow mirrors, and maybe a black billet grill.
After the exterior is complete I will upgrade the whole sound system.

If you do get custom wheels and plan on keeping the tires, you will need to choose the offset very carefully. If not nearly identical to stock, you will rub much worse than now.

Heres a pic of the HID's, note they look a little bluer than normal because they were just turned on.
