NOOB all over again...Back in a 2005
Hi all..Wanted to get re-introduced.
I had a 1997 4x2 Flareside for 10 years that I modded the heck out of..Ended up sitting in the garage for the last few years of ownership since I got a Ranger daily driver.
I just picked up a 2005 Supercab FX4 27K miles..
I've read no intakes,just Gotts mod..Truck came with a K&N
I'm going to be looking in to some simple mods.
I have a Tuner who is going to look at a tune for me...
Exhaust..
HIDs..I do not want projectors..
Stereo and Some sort of seat lift..( I need a sub box )
Bedliner..
Front tint..
Maybe front level kit..
I hope I don't ask too many stupid questions. Because Im going to need some help

Well, stereo, I would recommend the JVC or Pioneer one that has a screen the size of the factory head unit's opening, not sure on models, since those change every 3 months it seems.
Level: I recommend HBS (www.hellbentsteel.com). Inexpensive and solid.
Bedliner: Line-X or Rhino. Its worth the extra $ over a drop in.
Tint: Consult your local / state ordinances. I have several friends that have been pulled over and ticketed for tint.

Congrats on the new truck. I have just about the same as you with an 05 FX4 supercab 6.5". I have the stock system with 6 disc and sub under rear seat. IMO the mids/tweeters are underpowered but sub is nice for a stock system and is acceptable (my mustang made your ears ring)
-I have a 2" autospring level ~$80 on ebay
-Window tint is your choice ~$100 to match front windows 18%, retint all is about $200-250 depending on where you go and tint
-I have the Gotts mod with K &N drop in
-SI/SO Flow super 44 with 4" tip (switching to true duals 2.25" piping with Dynomax Bullets and dual tips. Exhaust was around $350 welded at a local shop
-I run the Edge Evo; would have gone Gryphon Edge had I known about it when I purchased my Edge (custom tune Gryphon)
-I have a drop in bed liner that came with the truck; I would recommend Line-X over Rhino, better quality as Rhino will tend to chip over the years
-HID kits check out DDMtuning.com or ultrabrightlights.com and make sure to get a wiring harness
If you want to get a CAI (cold air intake) and run a programmer make sure you do them at once and get the Gryphon that is cutom tuned or you may run lean.
Change your plugs if you haven't done so or at least plan on it in the near future....Watch your fuel injectors/check front brakes for cracked calipers and enjoy the new ride!

No aftermarket intake..Just Gott-ed my stocker..haha..Came with a K&n drop in..
Finished buffing out the truck except the roof...Finished interior detail..
Got most of my exhaust parts today..
Doing the line-x and front tint in the next week or two..
I really need a rear seat lift next..Do the baby brackets still work when you do this?
