FINALLY got me the F150 of my dreams!
#20
Well after MUCH searching and getting shot down by EVERY dealer i talked to, i finally found the truck of my dreams..
its a 2005 F150 Crew Cab FX4.. this thing is pretty much FULLY loaded minus leather which i didnt want anyways.. Sun roof, Linex bed liner, Flowmaster exhaust only 58K miles( just hit that) and its a 1 owner, and he took AMAZING care of this truck.. Completely dealer maintained with records and there is NO rust on the truck itself..
I was expecting a little rust on the frame since it is an Iowa truck and the salt and all but nope, frame looks BRAND NEW.. the only rust is on the flowmaster exhaust, but its getting changed here pretty soon anyways so no worries on that.
Anyways, its got the center shift, captains chairs power everything.. Its a BEAUTIFUL truck..
First mods will actually be De-modding some of what the previous owner did such as all the chrome accents. He had double billet grills installed which i really like so that will stay..
My question for you guys is what should i do first? Im thinking about a CAI but i have been told this is a bad idea withought a custom tune? Eventually i want better tires but they are BRAND new so they will stay for a while lol.
Ill have pics up tomorrow but in the meantime here is a link to the dealership:

Very nice truck i have an 05 also and it only had 24k on it when i got it. If i were you i would go ahead change the exhaust out then put either a 4in lift or a 6in lift with 35's. This will realy set the truck off. You could also get an air intake and a programmer to help with the lift and bigger tires. Nice truck!!!

I picked up the truck and she is awsome! She has a aftermarket sound system (sub, speakers) but the head unit is stock, the wiring is a little iffy so i gotta get that checked out(the speakers will cut out some times) other than that the truck runs great! I installed my CB thats about all i ahve done with her.
I wanted to get a CAI but i was told that this is a bad idea without a programmer so i will wait till i can get a gryphon.
THanks for all the comments guys!
