    Well guys it's been about a year and a half since I wrecked my F-150 and I finally picked up a new truck. It's a 1999 F-250 7.3 Powerstroke, so far the only aftermarket I've really noticed has been the 4 inch straight pipe into the 5 inch tip, and the wheels. It is going to need some work though. So far I'm going to need U-joints on the front drive shaft, tie rod ends, ball joints, oil filter housing gasket, and probably a few more things I'm forgetting before its a solid truck.

    Looks good, dude. Looks like you've got some 03+ mirrors on there too.

    Done some work on the truck, had to replace the tie rods and ball joints I went with the moog parts front steering pack, so far so good. The front drive shaft is currently at the shop getting the double cardan joint rebuilt. I've also put in a new boss audio double din head unit, turns out the owner before me removed the two rear speakers so I went ahead and bought four and replaced the front two also, added an alpine v12 amp and two polk 8 inch subwoofers. For tires I went with Hankook Dynapro MTs in 285/75r16, and did a few small painting projects. At the moment I'm looking into getting a DP tuner but I have the older xle4 pcm so I'm also debating on upgrading to a pmt1.

    Congrats on the truck. I'm not into white rigs but i definitely like them lifted.

    Thanks y'all, I've only had the tires for about 300 miles now but so far I'm liking them a lot, first MTs I've ever had and I got quite a few recommendations for the Hankooks with as much gravel driving that I have. I'm not into white trucks all that much either but it was a good deal for a 4x4 7.3 with only 148,000 miles and no body rust, I'm not sure I want to lift it quite yet pulling goose neck trailers at work. My plans are for a tuner, lockers, and possibly a winch bumper so far.
