I have the most common truck in Cheyenne Wyoming right now and I want to stop seeing my twin everywhere. Where should I start in fixing it up? Mind you I am a single military momma, so let's start small.

Welcome to FTE!

Here are a few things that would help:
Level kit
Wheels and tires
Exhaust
Window Tint
Full replacement bumper

Small.

Get these on ebay from China. The wait is worth the $$
LED's for the following; interior lights, outside cargo lights, license plate lights, switchback LED's for the front turn signals.

Now we need to know if you have 4X4 and which level of f-150, (XLT, Lariat)

Welcome!

What color is your truck?

I have a white 06 scab and put in the Hella black headlights...quite sharp looking. Found a guy on ebay that does them fairly cheap. Easy enough to put on yourself and then you can do the black out mod on your stock lights and resell them or just keep them as spares if anything happens to the Hella.

Go to billetbadges and get some crazy custom badges.

Post some pics of your truck and welcome.

I too just bought an 08 XL with literally nothing in it. Not even carpet, electric locks or doors. I am getting tint, sliding rear window, remote doors and windows, carpet and a few dress up items for the interior. I would be interested in the LED source for the interior/exterior lights. Wheels and tires will be next. I will post pics when I can.
