Seems my new 2000 F-150 XLT needs a name! Lets see, history of my vehicles names... my 94 Explorer is Vegas, cause its bright, loud, and lots of fun (and i will loose lots of money on it, LOL). My old 98 F-150 was Babe, like Babe the Blue Ox (since im kinda like Paul Bunyon at 6' 8", LOL). My 92 F-150 was "le blanc bete" whichis french for The white beast. So, heres what this truck is equipped with. It's a 2000 XLT, colored island blue (which is basically dark teal), its got the 5.4 Liter V8 engine (the biggest one offered in the 2000 F-150's), an automatic transmission, the 4x4 off-road package and the tow package, the bed is rhino lined, it's got the single CD player with some custom stereo equipment, got a K&N FIPK (whole new air intake system) going in next weekend, and it's already got true dual exhaust. It's got the Lund bug deflector (nothing but the best) and it's got a genuine steel (like manik) black brush guard and a PIAA air dam... in the PIAA airdam is PIAA 520 fog lights, the 510 superwhite driving lights, and on the brushguard is 2 sets of PIAA 80 XT's. It's got grey cloth interior with the husky floormats. For right now I'm not planning on modifying the suspension, I kinda like being able to pull it in to the garage . Future plans include a black rollbar, with possibly 6 PIAA 80 XT's mounted on top (which would kill pulling it into the garage), and a powdercoated or black rubber tollbox for the rear, and possibly herculining or rhino lining the nerf bars, brush guard and roll bar.
Paris has already been recommended as a nickname,you know city of lights? But I'm not sure, two vehicles named after cities? Plus I wouldn't want anyone thinking this one was dirty and smelled bad... LOL. Here are some pictures of it so far:




All ideas welcome but please, don't incorporate PIAA into the name like "PIAApet" we've been over that one before, LOL.

Sorry. I just couldn't resist.

 

How about Truckbert

 

First of all - congratualtions on the new truck! It's beautiful!
I was thinking since it's so dazzling, what about Dazzler? Or since it's a "millenium" truck, call it Millie!
I am having a tough time deciding on a name for mine too - I want a masculine name since HE is my baby & wanted it to start with F since it's an F series & a Ford. I went to a baby names site & the 1 name I found that meant "outdoorsy" is believe it or not - FLUFFERNUTTER! I wouldn't name my cat that & he's an outdoor/indoor cat! I sure won't name my truck Fluffernutter!
Anyhow if you don't get any workable suggestions try a baby name site & see if you find something there. Just PLEASE don't choose Fluffernutter! LOL!

Love my truck & PROUD of it! If you can't beat 'em, you're NOT driving a FORD!

What about a mythical/greek god/goddess name? Like Zeus or Hercules?
Since your truck is blue, maybe Posieden, god of the sea. LOL just throwing a couple of suggestions at ya!

 

Wow, posieden, thats actually quite good! For your first post, a pretty good one . I have quite a few names to choose from... I'll decide and let everyone know

 

Hey F150Girl, who was the god that controlled the lightning? Was that zeus?

 

Look at all the PIAAs..how about the Sun? LOL

I want that PIAA air dam. How much did you pay for it? Will KC lights fit in there? What size are the holes?

I don't recall what I paid for it. You can get it for under $200 I'm sure though. KC lights should fit, as long as there under about 7". It holds PIAA 80 XT's (the ones I have mounted on the brushguard) which are about 7 3/8" wide, so you should have no problem. Might have to custom fab some brackets though depending on how the KC's hang. There specifically designed for PIAA lights.
Actually I was doing some research on mythology and found some cool names...
Helios - the Greek sun god
Belenus - the celtic god of light, name means "shining one"
Mithras - the roman lord of light.
Apollo- another greek sun god.

 

PIAA-PET LOL man that is a good one

 

Mat,

Welcome Back Mat, nice truck! Will this one make it to the Dunes? If this one stays On-Road try La Vache. How about piaa-teal? Teal Rhino or Blue Rhino? Le Truck? The Camion? La charrue (the Plow).
