Wolvee's Build
"Sir, This recruit has Nothing to report at this time."
Decided to start a build thread. I've got some good plans and but who knows when I'll get around to doing it all. Slow and steady, right?
I can't decide what will make me more satisfied, a SC 2v or an NA 4v. I've built some pretty sick Mustangs in the past but I'm over the Hp sickness.
300-350rw from a slush box 4x4 could be plenty for me. Tq is what I really want. If I want Hp, I'll build another Mustang.
What it is:
2001 F150 Supercrew Lariat 5.4 2v, 3.55 (Most other options from the factory)
Paid $4500
What it has:
Needs:
Don't know when I'll be updating the thread since I only buy parts when I can't buy guns.

All that's done here is it's leveled, removed the running boards and bug guard removed.
I have new 4x4 decals and pinstripes but the paint is so spidered, I've decided on not putting them on yet. Maybe after the paint job.

Brake Lines were toast: Stock replacements till I do the expedition upgrade
UCA's

New Decals, they're too light but they don't look too bad in person.
Handsfree calling, DVD, GPS w/ Apple carplay. I went with the 5000-nex because I didn't need hdmi in.
Leafspring bushings
Moog UCA's
Bolt kit

Upon Further review of my Leaf spring Bushing I decided to just wait to change them for when I either decide to break things on purpose or when I change out to heavy duty springs.
Also,
Greased up my Slip Yoke to stop the Banging finally but I don't think I used enough grease. It's much better but it's still noticeably there.
Then re-greased all my zerks.

I picked up an Expidition Console and a Roof rack. The Console is installed but I'm not trying to decide on the best leak free option to install the Rack.
Here's the Console:

I'm 99% sure I'm going to pull off the Tonneau Cover. I'm going to build a removable tubular skeletal frame for camping. This cover just seems to be in the way all the time.
