Carabidae

Hello everyone..

intoducing my 2009 F150 ext cab 5.4L Triton engine.. i think the color name is Earth Metallic.
So far it has around 60k miles on the clock.
The only thing i added on the truck was a smittybilt custom made bed cover.
I did think of modding it a long time ago but it was my only and daily car. Anyways, i did some research on mods and so on.. i began ordering the lightning..

Here is the truck sitting all stock

i loved the raptors heads and tail lights.. so i ordered a set but still not installed




to compliment them i went with some PIAA bulbs


Also being annoyed by the key and remote.. i took the flip key route



i have placed an order a few months back.. a 6" fabtech basic suspension lift which will be upgraded later on with King coilovers and shocks.. 20x12 Motometal MO962 wheels in Gloss Black.. with 4 Mickey Thompson ATZ 35x13.5x20 tires.. Due to lack of shipment options the order will come by sea.. maybe another month or less..
Planning on many other mods but will take a bit slowly for the moment.

Man, i really do love that color brown. You wont pass many trucks that color, you will deffiantly stand out, and look good doing it.

I totally agree.. most colors i've seen here are either black, silver or white.. Not many Earth Metallic trucks been seen here..

after the long awaited parts they finally came in and on the truck.. the feeling is totally different. long story short, let the pics do the talk.

As a result..













Also due to the uncalculated wheels huge offset.. i placed an order for the Bushwackers Extend-A-Fender to have these wheels covered a bit.
still there are many parts and mods on the list..
Enjoy the pics

I took the time today to install the balck head and tail lights.. i must say they did a whole difference in the looks.. Complimented the headlights with the PIAA Xtreme White bulbs but i dont know.. they didnt make that whole of a difference.. Also leaving a shade of blue within the headlights.

Love the truck. That is one wide stance for sure.

Carabidae

wide indeed.. i never thought it would be that wide.. the wheels are 20x12 with a -44 offset. hopefully the fenders will cover a bit.
