Default SmoKeSoul Build Thread

Might as well get started on this since i've done some work and got much more to come. First to start I had a 05 F150 Lariat (2WD) while I was stationed in San Diego. Well a year later I was back in my home state of Connecticut and got hit with a bad winter in 2011. So I went on the hunt for a 4WD truck. After months and months of searching and mostly rejection from dealerships on accepting a 2WD truck in New England. I finally came across another truck, my current... 2005 F150 Lariat. So I bought the truck and took it home. Upon my poking around I found out it had a front and rear leveling kit, remote starter, bed cover (soft) and Flow Master exhaust with Magnaflow tips. So to keep it simple and catch up to where I am I will just list off what i've done so far and attach the pictures and from here on I will be able to update the thread as I go

Smoked LED Brake Lights
LED Reverse Light
Smoked LED Third Brake Light
Smoked Halo Headlights
LED corner lights
HID Low Beams
LED Interior Lights
Edge Evolution Programmer
S&B Cold Air Intake
Pioneer Head Unit
Kenwood Speakers
Underseat subwoofer (Truck didn't have one)
Repainted Rear and Front Bumper to black from tan
Spraypaint Bedliner (It sucks, but it REALLY improved the look of bed removing all the scratches it had)
Bushwacker Fender Flares
H-Grill (put on and repainted)
4" Stubby Antenna
6" Fabtech Lift Kit

Adding a test edit for OP to allw his own editing.
