Default Bogie's Build!

Well i guess it has come to the time where i finally make a build thread. It has been a long time in the making but here it is.

Here it is day one. Bought it brand new with 8 miles on here.


Took a little time to do some mods. I was tossing around the idea of keeping it stock and just getting another classic Mustang to restore but then i finally talked to my buddy Brian Franchi and i bought a tuner off him and then it was all down hill from there.


Naturally being a gearhead as soon as i felt that little bit of extra power i had to have more! So i went ahead and bought AFE Stage 2 CAI and MBRP 3" Stainless exhaust with resonator delete.




Well after i was pleased with a few performance upgrades i tackled some cheap and easy exterior upgrades. I blacked out everything i could. LaminX headlight film and i also bought already smoked taillights off a member off here for a deal. After that i plastidipped my badges so there was not any chrome left.

Somewhere after all that i got my front windows tinted 20% to match the rears. (no picture )

Well the stock wheels and tires were now no longer cutting it so i had to get some new ones. I picked up some Moto Metal 962s and Nitto Trail Grappler 295/70/R18s.

Well it sat like this for a few months until i could decide what direction i wanted to go with it. I was torn between prerunner or lifted. So here are some pictures from that.


Well i decided it was time to ditch the factory radio in the mean time and i bought a JVC DVD/CD player. Also went with Kicker 6x8s to replace door speakers.




Well after removing the stock 6 disc CD player
i traded it for a set of XL headlights and i started in on my Retro fit project. I bought a Mini H1 kit and some color match paint. Using a design Plain N Simple did as my inspiration i went at it and almost sliced my finger off doing so peeling the glue haha. They are not complete yet but close and soon to go on.




Well i finally decided which way i was gonna take my truck! It was gonna jack her up and finally own a lifted truck i always have wanted. So i ordered some goodies. Zone 6" Lift and Iron Cross HD Steps.


Well after arrival i debated on installing it with a few buddies or to pay for it to be done. Well after consulting some guys on here my buddies and i decided to tackle it. Making the cut that scared me so much haha.


And here it is finally done and where it sits today!

Finally finished up my retrofit and they look pretty damn good! The mini H1s aren't the brightest but still very bright. Overall glad I did it!

Those headlights turned out really nice! They give the truck a whole new look.

I hear that. I still have a couple if things to do before I reveal my current upgrades. I didn't see your headlights on the truck after you painted them, have you put them on yet?
