Cool Stormtrooper's Build/Mod thread...a couple of mods late

My truck as it sits today






And the beginning.

Alright here it goes:

2011 F150 FX4 Ecoboost, 5.5 bed, Oxford White, Loaded with every option (excluding navi and tow). I got it straight from the dealer with 20% tint on the windows, and 35% on the windshield, and line-x bedliner.



That was the day I got it. A few days after I insalled 6000k HIDs in the headlights and fog



Soon after I leveled her out with a 2.5 inch RCX kit.



Many more mods to come!

I installed a K&N air filter tody, actually made the turbo a little louder. I like it well worth the 45$!

I recieved my Recon LED tailgate bar today also, still have to install it. Also got my Omega train horn from my last truck waiting for install.

I bought some 35x12.50x20 inch Mickey Thompson Baja ATZs..I plan on buying 20 inch KMC monsters in the monring tommorow! Im so stocked to have the new wheels on her.

I plan on blacking out all of the emblems and badges soon.
Sooner or later im gonna start on the performance mods, starting with putting the mbrp dual cat back exhaust and an injen intake hopefully. Just gotta wait for some more cashflow, these wheels are completely tapping me out!

where do you live? most places it's illegal for windshield tint and 20% on front windows. not that i'm against it, just giving you a heads up.

sounds like a good start for the truck, looking forward to see pictures once the wheels and tires are on.

Sounds Awesome! I was hoping you might be throwing the 35's on the stock rims, I got excited for a minute then I kept reading. It will still look good though!

Yeah Georgia really isn't strict on tint. Atleast the southern towns south of Macon. They're not really strict on anything. LOL
