Default LonestarEMT's Build

Decided I would start my build, Had one going on my chevy that I traded in and wanted one for the ford. This is going to be a slow build because I have kids now and am in paramedic school. Money is going other places.

I bought the truck in October of last year. I traded my 2004 Chevy Z71 for her.

The first things I did was tinted the windows and got some floor mats.

Make additions will be avs window visors so I can leave the windows cracked because I don't get to park in the garage and the heat in Texas is insane. I'm also hard wiring a truckbed light and will be tinting the taillights and the third brake light. If anybody has any other ideas please let me know.

I cant tell but i think youre 2wd. So i would pull the block out of the back to level it, leave it at that stance and put some nice 20's or 22's. Preferably 22's. And a nice sounding hidden exhaust. I like that color with black. And making it look as clean as possible.

Thanks, the 2010 FX2 doesn't have blocks so I'm going to do a 2" shackle drop to level it out. I plan on removing the FX stickers and have been thinking about pulling all of the badges and painting them flat black. I'm not sure how hard that will be. I can't seem to find find a how to thread on the removal of badges.

LOL. I didn't plane on taking a crowbar to them but if there were some tricks to making it easy I would like to know.

Ive read fishing line to break it lose, then easily pry to take it off, be careful of the alignment tabs. And ive personally used a 3m eraser to remove all the crap left over. Works wonderfully without putting chemicals on your paint.
