If you have the resources sand blast your bumpers before spraying them. It will make the bedliner last alot longer. Also I would look into a new set of wheels before paying all that money to powdercoat your stocks. The pro comp rockcrawler line of black steel wheels are a good budget choice for wheels. They look good and are cheap! 8" wide usually run about $80 a piece and 10" wide are about $90-$100 a piece.

 

Hmm I dont know yet. My buddy can black powder coat for cheap. But i would like to have some aftermarket, wider wheels.

And as far as sandblasting. ill just use a grinder with a tiger paw or a wire wheel. or both.

 

westtnfx4 has had good results with the rustoleum bed liner. There are a lot of examples on the forum he runs. Here are a few build threads with em on our body style trucks:

First one is a white 2wd with a 7.5" fabtech and 2" coilspacer now. Looks real nice. He's on this site too

 

I got the raptor liner spray on bed liner already. But we will see how well it works.
But yah... im actually thinking about a 3" coil with longer UCAs.. thatd be 9.5" up front and then id add a 2" shackle for 7" in the back.
But first i must convince the father, im not going to turn my truck over... LOL

 

Haha ya my parents said I can't go any higher because I wouldn't fit in the garage. But I'm still going to try for Fabtech Long Travel control arms so I can go higher in the future.

 

parents parents parents... dang... its not like my dad didnt used to have a flip front end with 8" under it.... not fair at all..
But ya. soon as i get my bed liner sprayed on im see if i cant haul off some scrap metal and maybe sell some coons and get some money for new heads and tint my tails.

 

My dad always wanted to lift a truck but by the time he got one, me and my brother were young so he couldn't do it. So I had to do it for him haha or at least thats what I told him.
About your other mods:
You can get tails done in a day. I think theres a cheaper set of the same headlights for like $90 on ebay too. Make sure to prep the chrome real good because it will chip pretty easily if you don't.
Found this too: http://www.dezertrangers.com/vb/part...ies/127561.htm
If its still available, see if you can have your parents loan you some money for it in the meantime

 

Chrome?? what chrome?

And yeah... they dont have money to lend right now ether...
I just had surgery with kidney stones, and prolly will again soon. doc app tomorrow... And they just got my engine rebuilt about a month or two ago...
So yeah.... I doubt theyd lend any money right now.

 

Aw man sorry to hear that. And the chrome bumpers since that will be subject to rocks a lot

 

Yeah.. 18 years ole with kidney stones. dang i got bad luck.. Lmao.
Ohhhh i gotcha now. Yeah dads helping me do the bed liner, and his a "do it right or dont do it at all" freak.. So he will be sure every things right.

And on nightshading my tails and 3rd. Cant i used that same stuff on my front and rear ovals? (i think you did that) And maybe my fender and tailgate "f-150" emblems? Or would the emblems now turn out right being partially plastic and partially chrome?

 

Ya I used the same stuff. It made it so you can still see the ford in sunlight but it is black at night. I sprayed it over every thing and it turned out well

 

I might get me a can tomorrow. Did you use it on your fender emblems??

 

No I kept my fender emblems chrome because they are the roush edition ones

 

Oh okay. Idk i might try them. Any ideas where i could buy a can of it at??

 

I got mine at pep boys. I'm pretty sure you can get it at any auto parts store
