One year w/ pics

I bought and picked up my F150 on March 10, 2009. It's now been a year and I must say I've loved it the entire time.

Just wanted to show what I've done over that period.

Here she is about a week after I brought her home with the fog lights installed:



Aries Black Brush Guard and Black Tail Light Guards:





Line-X Bed Liner:



Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2 255/70/17:





TruXedo Lo Pro QT:




Go Recon Under Rail Bed Lights:

Darkness...


Let there be Light!


Go Recon White Lightning:

Running Lights:


Brakes:


Reverse:


Next I want to get a set of the 2009-2010 XL/STX manual mirrors to replace the ones I have right now.

Also would really like to level it and get bigger tires with a nice set of rims but that just isn't even close to being in the budget yet.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks.

Yea, on my old truck I had a tri-fold hard cover and got annoyed at always having to remove it if I wanted to use the entire bed. It's nice being able to roll it up and remove the roll if necessary.

Though with it I had to remove and can no longer use the black cargo boxes shown in the Line-X picture.

I agree that your truck is looking great but it needs some different wheels... The stock STX wheels just don't do it justice...

I might try to save up some cash and get some new ones this summer. But if I do I know that I won't be satisfied with these tires. I want to level it and at least get 33's. Probably get some BFG A/Ts, yea... That would be sexy.

Also on the list of future mods is black heads and straightening out the driver's running board and getting them both Line-Xed. Eventually I want to remove all the chrome but it's gonna take a bit to do.

Nice work for just a year, trying to figure out a way to get bed lights in my truck too but I haul a lot of crap so the wires will have to be really hidden to not get ripped out

Yea, that was a major concern of mine too. I use my truck as a truck very often including hauling mulch for my landscaping business. Right now the wires are just hanging out because it was too cold to bother messing around with them when I installed the lights. Some time in the next few weeks I'm going to hang them up behind the cargo rails they are mounted on. Even then I'm going to have to be careful not to hit them with stuff because they don't have any kind of covering over the LEDs.

Lookin great!

In the second picture, it looks like your brush guard blocks the fog lights. Has that been an issue, or is it just the viewing angle of the camera?

Yea, they are blocked slightly because the place that did the install didn't install them perfectly centered. I want to get a set of 6" lights to mount on the Brush Guard eventually.
