Came across a truck that was for sale/trade last week...and finally took delivery of it on Thursday.

'00 XLT rwd, 4.6, auto, power everything, expedition seat/console mods, Lightning SVT wheels

I was in the middle of trying to remove all the gawdy chrome trim, then my heat gun shut down for a while, so it was a good time to snap some pics...





So this is gonna be my summer truck, and my black flareside will be for the s**t weather in the winter...

So, some mods and changes come to mind quickly....

Nitto 295/45/18's, or sell the Lightning wheels and get 20" HD replica's with 275/45/20's
Remove ram air hood, find stock one to replace it
Remove the rest of the chrome
New headlights, foglights and corners
HID's
Lightning or aftermarket front bumper
Remove cab visor
PTM tailgate handle
Tint tails and third brake light
soft tonneau cover
Ford Racing 1" lowering springs/shackles kit


Opinions? Suggestions for the mod list??

 

Nice truck, looks great! Good decision taking that chrome off.

 

That truck has serious potential... keep the L wheels!

 

leave it as is and focus on performance mods

 

Well yeah....I forgot to add some things to the list....and I have a set of shorty headers the owner gave me, plus he did a custom exhaust (side out, front of rear wheel, needs a new tip though).

Intake, going to find another superchips tuner, gonna need a new battery soon for sure...what other "go fast/performance" mods should be done?

 

keep the L wheels!

ill trade you hoods!

 

Yea seriously where you located? Cause I'd trade you my hood in a heartbeat for that one.

 

I'm in MB Canada. If I could find a local guy who would want the hood, then that would be great, cause shipping it won't be worth it. I'll scour the local wreckers for a white stock hood, or maybe I'll go with another version of a steel ram hood...I am just not diggin this one at all...

 

is that by sault ste marie?

 

 

Here's another pic, -same hood.

 

Yeah, that's what I'm after if I don't go back to a stock hood!

 

how many miles on it?

I say keep the 18s just put some meatier street tires on them

 

Where in manitoba are you located?

 

250kms. I'm going to definitely upgrade the tires to thr stock lightning size in 295's....
