    Well I bought this truck New to me on July 15, 2009. I was in the market for a 1/2 ton pickup. I wanted a GM or Ford.

    Well with that said I started my hunt. I looked and looked and all the Chevy 1500s I looked at were out of my price range or super high mileage. I wanted to stay around $17,000 at my MAX. I found a nice 03 F150 gorgeous interior and exterior but they wanted about 3 grand more for it than it was worth IMO. So I let it slide. I didn’t exactly have the money for it at that time anyways. ANYWAYS, I came across this Truck on ebay cruising the internet one night and it was up in Augusta, GA about 2 hrs away from us. So I took a day off work and headed up there with the old man. They had this truck orginally listed for $14,900. It had 57,000 miles on it on a 2004 FX4 Supercrew 5.4L Triton V8. Well all in all I walked out the door with it for $12,000. I was a little mad at the old man for not letting me make the offer he offered about $1000 more than I would have

    Well I got the truck and first I added some Xtreme Bed liner that a guy at church does on the side. It’s great stuff! Well here is a list of the stuff I’ve already done to it.

    Xtreme Bed Liner
    Power Hungry Performance Gryphon Programmer
    Painted all Faded Plastic: WS Cowl, Bumper Pad, and Bed Rails
    Recon Smoke Third Brake Light
    18% Tint
    Cam Locker Tool Box
    Black Headlights & Fogs
    DDM 55w 6000k HIDS & DDM 35W 5000K HIDs (taken out since)
    Kenwood DDX12
    Weathertech Floormats
    Tinted Tails
    Harley Tails
    Bottle Opener in Bed
    KMC Monsters/Procomp Xtreme Terrains
    Exhaust
    Gott's Mod
    Amsoil Switch Over
    Bilstein 5100s 2" Level

    It has been two years now and All I can say is that I love this thing! She cranks up everytime I need her to, and she turns heads all the time (which we all know is a great thing!)

    I plan on keeping it for a while! When I buy a vehicle I drive it till the wheels fall off. She is right at 90,000miles now :(, but that is just experience :)

    Next mods include
    -Bed/Reverse Lights
    -Saleen Grille
    -Remote Start
    -Light bar & Lights
    -Speaker Upgrade
    -Plug Service & Amsoil in diffs & Trans

    Then drive the crap out of it!

    Here's some random pics from day one
    Old & New my old 98' Suburban (loved that thing!, if it was 4WD I would have kept it)

    She's My Baby, I love this truck. I need to give her a bath here soon, but being 100* + everyday is not too motivating to go out and wash it lol
