Hey guys i have a 04 f150 fx4 stepside and heres my progress so far!
The day off purchase:






I thought the grille guard was hideous so I sold it for 300$
The truck also came with a diablo tuner.

 

I was injured due too my lh leg an was off work for 2 months




And with that money I made from the grille guard i purchased a grille off ebay for 180$ and an alpine iva w203 deck.





Then it got boring and I got 3'' Si/Do shuttleworth exhaust installed.

 

Ive installed 6000k xenon hids hi/lo for my headlights and I need fogs now.
I got fed up with the bfg m/ts bc they threw so many rocks and were destroying my trucks paint. So i changed em at work and installed the p255/70R17 generals. I ended up selling the Bfgs for 350$and sold couple other sets I had laying around home that i got for free in total i made 700$ off free tires, Also de stickered it and left the ford emblem on the rear window.




Then my deck started acting up right from day one as i bought it as a display model, The screen flickers when you touch it, so I got future shop too send it out and it took 6 weeks and I got it back. I installed it and it was still ffd the screen itself must be damaged but im furious an demand my money back and they say i cant cause i had it more than a month but the damn bastards took 6 months to send it out. so as of right now future shop can suck it butmy decks sent out again.

 

Then I recently ordered a 2inch lift off ebay, it came with spacer for the frut shock assembly and rear blocks with u bolts. Took me 4 hrs to install.







I have yet to do an alignment but i just broke my arm and chipped my shoulder so no progress for a bit. With that 700$ I gouged from those tires I purchased a set of 285/70 R 17 Dick cepek FC-II's for 1100$ I wanted a good a/t that looked agressive.

And since I think the new tires should be paired with a new set of rims
I ordered a set of Eagle 079s 17x9 with +25 offset for 900$


so its coming together!

 

looks good so far

 

well my truck got broken into an i have no wallet and no sub and cap..
theif got away with my debit an master card aswell as ids and 400$ sears gift card and 25$ royal distrubiting card, my 12'' alpine type s and 1 farad stinger cap
