I don't have any pictures yet because I haven't even gotten all my parts in. I just wanted to start a thread that I can add pictures too. I have a 2008 Dark Blue Regular Cab STX. I have ordered a bunch of parts and will be installing them soon. Here is what I will have within the next week:

6000K HID's - Done
Stealth 3157's - got em!
AVS Hood deflector Got it!
Hella Blackout Head Lights - got em!
AVS door vent visors - got em!
2.5" AS - got it!
FX2 1" rear blocks - got em!
Roush Grill - Black - got it!
E-Z Down Tailgate shock - got it!

Coming soon (Not in any particular order):
Edge Evo
Hella LED Tails
S&B Intake
Magnaflow SI/SO Cat-Back
Bull Bar - Black
Nerf Bars - Black
17x8 Black wheels
295/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers
FX4 Valance
Line-X W/Xtra

Some might ask why I did not chose other options first so I will go ahead and answer, I found what I have so far at a discount. I buy it when its on sale or on eBay so I get a better deal, no other reason. I will update this thread with pictures and injuries as they occur!

 

Gonna be sweet man. Be sure to post pics or you'll be banned for life..


Kidding.

 

Oh I will. The wife is gonna have a kitten when the boxes start showing up.

 

4 packages came today! Yay! Banana line dance time!

Sure wish I was home! I hate work!

 

Today the UPS man was good to me. I got:
Hella Headlights (sealed them just a few minutes ago with aquarium sealant) had no idea they had carbon fiber in them!

E-Z Down shock

Stealth bulbs for the turn signals

Hood deflector for a Tahoe! Wrong Part!

 

Good to see another single cab man out there. Looks like you already got the mod bug lol.

Nice. So when are we going to start seeing some pictures of this stuff on the truck???

 

Tomorrow morning, bright and early, the garage door will go up, the truck will go in, the steroe will come on, the cooler will be rolled out and the work shall begin! LOL. I get to spend all day tomorrow working on my truck so hopefully it will be done and I will post pics of all of it. I am already ordering more parts. LOL

The reason for the all at once is because I have a 40 hour job, run the HOA we live in and am also taking college courses towards my degree, not to mention the wife and three kids who also have school programs and stuff they want me to go to. It is hard to fit in time for my truck. :o I have alot going on. LOL

 

Well, after 5 hours and a few beers, she is done. Phase 1 is complete! I really really really like the results. My neighbor came over and said "Dude! I am so jealous of you! My wife gives me an allowance!" LOL. Here are some before and afters. Enjoy. I have a vid of the tailgate dropping with the E-Z down. Major cool factor!
Installed the AS 2.5". Truck is 38" in front and 38 in back. Sweet!

Before:




After:




This is what I did. it changed as I went along.

6000K HID's
Stealth 3157's
AVS Hood deflector
Hella Blackout Head Lights
AVS door vent visors
2.5" AS
FX2 1" rear blocks - (NOT INSTALLED)
Roush Grill - Black
E-Z Down Tailgate shock
K&N Drop In
Removed STX decals

 

I just re-adjusted my HID's and the Hellas definitley concentrate the beam better. Not as much glare.

 

Phase 2 will be:

Black Nerf Bars
Black Bull Bar
FX2 PTM mirror skulls
295/70/10 Nitto Terra Graplers
FX4 valance
Doing something with the wheels


Phase 3 will be:
Edge Evo
S&B Intake
Magnaflow SI/SO Cat-Back
Hella LED Tails

 

Don't bother with the ptm mirror caps, they require there own mirror housing. Just paint your existing caps.

There is no such thing as an FX4 valance, all 4x4's get the same valance. You can get the complete kit, valance, tow hooks, and hardware from Tasca ford for less than a bill.
