Thanks man! I appreciate it! It took a lot of hard work (Im only 21 but i work 40+ hours a week and go to school part time too) but its worth it! (My dad did cosign for it, but every penny is mine from the mods to the monthly payment to insurance I pay it) Ive wanted an F-150 Fx4 since the 2004 body style came out and came across this unmolested lady driven truck. I swear i dont think she ever took it over 3000 rpms and i know for sure it never towed or hauled anything (tailgate would barely open from not being used and the hitch wiring is in the glovebox). I plan to keep it for a long time, but the next truck will not be silver (my 3rd silver vehicle lol) hopefully the next one will be a Flame blue/Chrome pkg/Ecoboost lol
Thanks again man

you got it bro-no problem man----

Tomorrow ill be doing some painting. Tinting the tails, silver tow hooks, blackout fog housing and maybe do the radio bezel. I haven't decided if I want tow mirrors or not, mainly because I dont tow nor do I know how to move the wires and pins. Spring time I'm painting the wheels, door handles, tailgate handle and the frame. Christmas I'm getting a light bar with 4 Hella 500ff's and maybe a new radio. I love this truck!

cowboys_f150fx4 Oct 13, 2012 09:15 PM

yea i know thats all going to look awesome---i love your truck even more --that thing will last you for years to come-best truck you could have bought----and yea the only thing i dont like on mine is like yours our dood handle and tailgate handle buckets are not painted--those things can turn white too like if sun gets on them all the time--and you have to be scared not to get wax on them when you wax--my next new f150 will have those painted on the lot---ive seen the ones on the lot that are painted buckets---man it looks awesome---i love that new candy apple red f150s come in---man its awesome color

Not the easiest mod I've done, but not impossible. I had to put them in the oven twice and use a heat gun. It probably took an hour to hour and a half per headlight to get them apart. That's the hard part lol painting and resealing is easy. It was worth it though, I'm not a chrome fan. I also did yhe taillights the same way
