Hello from Texas

Hey guys and gals. Was using search engine looking up sparkplug info on my 2007 f150 4x4 4.6L and it lead me to the board. I just decided to go back to school(at 32yr old) so purchased an older camry so miles will not go on truck. Truck has around 77k on it. I've not done much of anything to the vehicle since I got it so I am going to start slowly doing maintenance on it and maybe some small mods to interior. Its paid off so I hope it lasts a long time! I'll get a pic up tomorrow.

Hey thanks for replies guys! I never got notification via email anyone responded so kinda slacked off here. I live in NE texas right on border of TX/AR. I'm attending school at HSU in Arkadelpha, AR. When I first lost my daily driver and had to drive truck daily i slacked on care and didn't take care of the wheels. The truck with from 25k to around 50k in a year but now i have another small car to drive. So the wheels are a little pitted now but still look good. I want to replace the driver side door panel when I can, it isn't bad by any means but a clip broke inside and it's loose and also is a little discolored from dirt around the arm rest.

Inside the mods i wanna do is: i'd like to find a way to make a low profile sub box for a single sub. Most likely on the passenger side. Next is a rifle case that is sturdy, lockable, but quick accessible. I want the case behind the seats in the half cab area. Outside i need to replace the hood. Its hard to see but it has hail damage from when I lived in amarillo and a tornado came through.





I am not the most mechanically inclined person but I do almost all my own work. My dad has a well equiped shop a couple hours away, so when I do stuff to vehicles it's normally after i've acquired a few things and do it all in a weekend with dad's help. Last trip we assembled an ar15, replaced some struts in my camry, and created some fermenting lids.

Thank for replys! I never got a notification by email anyone responded so kinda slacked off. I did repost a couple days ago and it said it had to wait to be approved but nothing so I am gonna try to post again. I'm from NE texas but going to school not far pass the border into AR. I just moved back this direction couple years ago from Amarillo though. I slowly want to give the truck a thurough maintenance run and then add some things. Retint windows, i want to put a small subwoofer in the back half, Ive been looking into building a quick access but lockable rifle box for the back too. When i was driving it daily before i got my little car i didn't take care of the wheels and they are pitted a little bit but still look decent. I was thinking someday of getting them powder coated for a cheap alternative to new wheels. And then someday when i'm not spending 9 grand a semester for school i'd like to get some lights on it of some sort. The first thing i'm saving up for now is a new hood, while I was in amarillo a hail store hit it and dinged it up. Other than that inside still smells new and outside looks pretty good. It is paid off so i would like to keep it for a while.
