My XL with custom paint work, and a few other goodies.

I bought this truck back in October 2009, there were only 2 of this configuration (Regular cab with a 5.4) available for sale in the country at the time. I didnt like the work truck look of the XL so I decided to do some simple and cheap mods to customize the truck. I painted the mirror caps, tailgate handle and front fascia piece white with 3M Fusion paint and a clearcoat. I tinted the windows and added an alarm and power door locks. I just bought some Bridgestone REVO 2 tires and absolutely love them! After looking at the truck with the new tires, I realized that the interior of the back wheel wells were painted white from the factory, and I thought that was ugly so I decided to paint that black. This looks cleaner and helps balence the proportions of the truck from the side view. Enjoy!
