01f1502wd's build thread: project Stormtrooper

[01f1502wd]

it all started out in 2000, my dad had 2 kids in boyscouts and a reg. cab toyota pickup just wasnt cutting it. so he got a bigger truck. i was 11 when he bought it and when i turned 16 i got to drive it to and from school...then in college it became mine. and i found some forums...and the money wasting, dream building and moding began..so heres my story:


2001
F150
2wd
White
5.4L 2v engine
3.55 gears
supercrew
Lariat
tow package
power everything
17in chrome wheels
6disk cd player
bed extender

then came the lightning headlights, clear corners, 4x4 valance and clear lense fog lights and a 2in coil spacer

then I put 2 lights behind my grill

then i got some more behind there for 4 lights and got some new tail lights that were later ditched cuz i thought they looked like dodge tail lights

i still wasnt sittin tall enough so i got a bigger lift: 3.5" lift spindle and 2in lift coil and 4in block out back

removed the running boards to make it look taller...it worked!

then got a full exhaust system done comprising of: OBX SS long tube headers, resonators, dual E-cutouts, x-pipe, dual borla XR-1 race mufflers and tipped before the rear tire-Lightning style!

got Recon's Extreme scanning lightbar:

then went out with my GF and she took some professional pics of my baby

and painted some of the inside

and out-ish

then I did a HUGE project: building my own prerunner bumper/grill guard/gettheFoutofmyway bar
begining

did it in a weekend so i was kinda rushed..the next one will be better for sure

got a FREE fullsize toolbox...that i painted black

then removed some stupid warning stickers
before

after

got rid of all the crap behind my backseat including the 6disk holder, stock bottlejack holder and lost quite a bit of weight, and now i have a fullsize jack and tire iron in my tool box with my recovery gear...etc..

got smoked heads and corners

tinted tail lights

and on my new bumper I have 4 hella 500FF's, behind my grill I have 2 hella 500FF's AND 2 hella 700FF's. then added 55W 5k HIDs to my fogs to match my headlights

level view (if your looking in your rearview mirrow)

and no theyre not all pointing fowards, some are outwards..i dont need everything to see in front of me....
then a nice photoshoot with my dads 04 Mini Cooper S

i was going for the black and white theme of a stormtrooper and the chrome in the headlights and fog lights werent cutting it for me...so i painted them all

foglights will be installed tonight i hope.
and so that brings us up to date. heres a sneak peek as to what she will look like at the end of next month

I will next start a pole as to what color my bumpers will be painted.

so stay tuned for moar updates
