New to F-150 Ownership

Hello to all! New to the whole truck ownership thing. Just bought an 05 Lariat Supercrew 4x2, truck has only 10,500 miles on it. Don't plan on modding this much, girlfriend says no. She says to spend it on the 04 Cobra that I also have, we'll see how long that lasts. Hope to learn some things on here. Don't have any pics yet, gotta clean it up first. Will try to get some pics after vacation.

Ted

Cool Also new to the site.

Got a Leftover 07 XL dirt cheap. Love it. Like this site. Just started browsing, a lot of info. Created a gallery, but it only lets me add a cover pic. There is no upload or add photo button. I'm sure its easy but i can't figure it out.

Nevermind

As soon as you ask that's when you figure it out. Had to create albums inside gallery. Advance auto is running 25% off accessories until Christmas. Got vent visors and bugshield ~$28 each, Mats and steering wheel cover ~ $11 each. Put in a 240watt Jensen head unit MP3/Aux input/Satellite input for $79 from Circuit City. Also got custom fitted seat covers for both seats and custom fitted console cover and head rests for $45 shipped for all. They fit great and have smoothed out since the picture was taken. Got them from www.exactseatcovers.com ,they also sell on ebay. That's where i got mine and was greatly surprised. Also got the windows tinted since picture.

This could get addicting!

I will get some pics up when I get back from vacation. Cobra is all covered up and truck needs a good washing & detail. Thank you for the "hellos", I am learning a lot about these trucks on this site. I do see all knids of tyhings that I would like to get for the truck, but then remember that the Cobra is a lot more rewarding to money into. I swear it's just a work truck......

Save your mod money for the Cobra. You will get a lot more bang for your buck modding the Cobra.

(I had a Mustang GT and all my mod money went into that. When I sold it eight months ago, then the truck got everything.)

I would recomend not listening to the G freind in most cases but this girl knows where to spend money ..the hard part is not modding the screw if you have the supercharger bug already GOOD LUCK
