Hello from South Texas

Hey everyone my name is Rob...just joined up and figured I would introduce my self real quick. Been a Ford owner since 1999 and just purchased a 2012 Dark Blue Pearl Metallic F150 Ecoscrew 4x4 (Lariat) in February. Traded our 08 EB Expedition in for it and I am loving this truck beyond words. So far I have only done a MBRP dual side exit exhaust, Livernois tuned, 2" autospring front and AAL rear, TOFF coated bed along with a Extang Encore tonno, and of course, gotta have the attractive factory F150 bug deflector...LOL.
I am a long time master auto tech and race shop owner but I just graduated with a bachelors in Computer Information Systems and have turned my attention toward computers, web development and programming.
My wife is a U.S. Navy active duty Naval Officer...currently deployed in Afghanistan.
I guess thats it...I am looking forward to getting to know ya'all and be part of the site.
Cheers!

Welcome! So, that's all you've done to it? Sounds as if you've been busy!

Right on my friend. Thank you for the kind words.

Thanks for the welcome and thank you for the kind words. The color really looks way better up close because the metallic shows up in the paint real good.

Thanks for the welcome. LOL...yeah, that's it for now. I was going to do a AFE stage 2 air intake but I placed my order about a month and a half ago and at that time they told me it would only be two weeks. Well, after numerous phone calls to them and hearing "a couple weeks" too many times, I got a refund and figured I would just wait for now. I have more mods planned, but since its the wifey's truck, I have to be careful how far I go with it....LOL. Don't wanna get myself in the doghouse.

Thank you for the welcome my friend. I will definitely keep you in mind for the future. There are a couple more things I want to do to the truck immediately...one is a air intake and the other is in channel vent visors.
Thank You VERY MUCH for your military support my friend. It truly means a lot!!
