Default My Play Toy

December 22nd, 2011, I bought a 07 FX4 with the 5.4L. It was stock except a Flowmaster exhaust, tinted windows, and a Gotts mod. I knew as soon as I seen it, I wanted to build it and make it look the way I wanted. I wanted the most original truck around where I live. All the F150's look the same!


First thing I done was put a black Westin Bull Bar on it.




Then I leveled it with a Skyjacker 2.5" leveling kit



Dad bought an exact replica of my truck except in a SCREW and an 08 instead of a 07. I tinted my tails, and I also done his. He has everything done the same as I have to mine.



Yesterday, I finally got my Bushwackers on.



Just for sh**s and giggles, my best friends Honda broke down. So I started mission "Rice Burner Rescue" He's broke down twice now that I've rescued him. A head gasket went, and then his clutch blew apart about 30 miles from home.



Things to do:
Tow Mirrors
Fog Lights on the bull bar
Doing something with the factory wheels. I want to keep them
Edge Programmer
Considering a 3 or 4" lift with 35's
Replacement Ford emblems (black with chrome script) when I can find them
Bambi Mod
Eventually all interior LED's

I'll probably think of more as I go

Got my tow mirrors on today. I'll grab some pictures tomorrow! Power, heat, signals, and puddles!

Bull bar picture isn't showing up so here it is


Here is the mirrors




Then today: I got bored sitting at home since the Daytona 500 was postponed, so I I decided to paint my intake to match the truck. Didn't turn out like I expected, but it could grow on me.

For my "custom" emblems I made a sticker out of vinyl and stuck it to the front. Mine is black and chrome and says "Freak" instead of Ford.

Fiddy, I'm not really looking for an overlay, but the whole piece. Or maybe even one painted and clear coated.

I paid roughly a little over $250 with shipping.

Thanks! I think I'm going to concentrate more on an Edge Evo. I noticed going to a fire call tonight, it just hasn't got the power I'm wanting out of it tonight. That and I'd love some better fuel mileage for the long trips. Then it's either going to be lights for my bull bar and grille, or new led tails and Harley headlights, or projector headlights. I'm not to sure about the projector heads.

Hey man, exactly how did you do that with your tails? I love the original tails, wouldn't wan to change them out to recons but making them black and keeping that white strips look nice.
How'd you do it?
