Noobie from NoDak
Hey everyone made my first post a couple weeks ago but I must have overlooked this page.
My name's Matt and Im from North Dakota, I live in the middle of the Bakken oil boom, but I dont work in the industry, Im a farmer. Grew up with fords my whole life, my old man always had em on the farm and as his "nice" pickup. So when I got out of college and had the means I purchased my first F150, a 2011 XLT with very few options but it was all mine! After a recent hailstorm which resulted in baseball-softball size hail which totaled out my pickup I decided to buy a new one with some options. My new pickup is a FX4 ecoboost in Tuxedo Black and so far I love it.
I already put a 2" Autospring leveling kit on it with 275/70/18 Goodyear Duratracs (33" wheel) and I love the look that the aggressive tires and leveling kit give it. This being my first modified truck I couldnt be happier.
Possible Future Mods:
Possibly an exhaust, I know its a V6 but I have heard they can sound pretty good with the right setup, but my 5.0 Mustang sound cannot be beat.
Upgraded Alpine stereo (subwoofers)
-having always had subs in my vehicles since my 94 Escort hatchback, I definitely addicted
18" wheels - I am currently running the stock wheels because I love the looks but if I am ever to go with a wider tire I will need to upgrade.
Thanks for reading!
Shoutout to iL_Duce on helping me determine a leveling kit!
