Back in an F-150

I sold my 2004 a few years ago and decided I missed having a truck. So I picked this 2009 lariat up back in November. When I bought it, it had a 6" procomp lift and Moto metal wheels and nitto tires along with a hard shell bed cover. I added the fender flares because the wheels stuck out too far for my liking.

The fender flares I got off of eBay and painted them myself. They were the widest ones I could find and my tires still stick out a little over 1".

After adding the flares I got some floor mats. I wanted to go with weather tech but these were half the price. I pretty much got the front mats and rear mat for the price of what the front weather tech would have cost.

I switched out the tail lights. Before.

New fox shocks for the rear. The old ones were trashed. One of the dust boots was full of fluid from the shock and all the bushing were shot.

Cleaned up the engine bay the other day. I forgot to snap a pic of how dirty it was.

The previous owner had a little 3" antenna, it worked but the reception needed to be better so I'm trying out this 13" stubby antenna from Halo lifts.

Looks nice!

Nice Truck!
If you didn't get them, grab the "roost guards" for those rear shocks. the shafts get pitted and damage seals without them.

Really nice truck, not too high. Enjoy, that's why I can never bring myself to get rid of my truck.

Very nice and you are making nice improvements

Thanks, the old ones had dust boots on them but I decided to leave them off. I might look into those guards.

One of the first thing I replaced was the 3rd brake. It was getting moisture in the housing and I wanted to get rid of the chrome. I found this sweet looking l.e.d. one on eBay. The middle lights up white, it is too bright for me to get a good pic of on my phone.

I've done some of the less sexy stuff over the past couple of months. I changed out the trans filter and added new fluid, front and rear diff fluid, transfer case fluid, power steering high pressure hose and new fluid. I've heard nothing but good things about the Amazon basics oil so I used that and switched to 5w30 high mileage.
