    Here we go, a little late to the party :jester: Got the truck shortly after graduating highschool. as many of you know i upgraded from my 97 150 2wd, loved that truck alot but needed something a little more reliable to go back and forth to college in which is a 3 hour drive plus the 97's tranny was slowly giving up on me :jester:


    Anyways 2004 FX4

    Came with a 2" level, some side steps, ATX Mojave wheels wrapped in 305 goodyear wrangler MT/R's(horrible)

    I forgot my first mod but i'm pretty sure it was HID's (6k which i recently swapped out for 4500k's) and painted heads(thanks to jesse)

    2" didn't level the truck out so i bought an HBS 2.5" level and swapped it out in my old apartment parking lot :jester:

    end result:
