updated pics

So i removed the stepboard and mud flaps like u guys said. And my film for tinted lights is being shipped.
I am probably not going to tint the windows, living in california and all, and instead spend the money on an edge programmer.

Current mods-
18x9 xd moster wheels
275/65/R18 goodyear wrangler silent armor
pioneer avic-u310bt navigation and ipod headunit
4 alpine type r speakers
(more to come, hopefully)


Before


After xd wheels


Current, with step board and mudflaps off


pioneer avic u310-bt unit


pioneer type r speakers

Feel free to leave comments and ideas for further mods. Haters r welcome.

Then I guess I'll be the first hater.............. the rims just don't do it for the truck. Unless you are planning on adding on more lower black. IMO... GY tires s**k., but can only reference to cars.

Wish I coulda got a SCrew... Bur my SCab does just fine. If you have been watchin' n readin' n taking advice from here.... compliment Patriot Decal an install F150online decals

And BTW... in pic 3.... You're in a Handicap Zone.... a beef of mine. Sorry

Negative?? I am just stating MY opinion.... which he welcomed. I don't think the rims go with the truck....as it sits

Nice Truck... no doubt. ............................ Jus Sayin'

welcome to the forum!

i think it looks good!

as for mods, i would remove the chrome nerf bars, add lightning headlights, and window tint just for starters.

love the wheels....planning on getting some flatblack 18"s and some 33" tires here soon too once i get some cash.

BTW...did you crank the torsion bars to level it out or trim the lower valance at all to get the tires to clear...?

Nice truck man i agree with the others about the tint, also i would suggest the 04-08 f150 emblems blacked out with white inlays from patriotdecals.com and maybe paint your fender flares black

When u guys talk about tinting the tails like with film or already tinted like black or smoke tail lights?

And just a regular exhaust, it just has a tip i saw at Kragen auto parts for 10 bucks, so i decided to but it on there. It adds no sound just looks good, i think. BUt i am thinking about getting one, u have any suggestions?

I didn't and have not cranked the torsion bars since the day my dad got the truck from the factory. They don't rub although it gets really close. I"d imagine anything bigger than what i got would rub
