Hi everyone.
I'm new to the forum, and have a bit of head start on my build...but I mod a lot, and post a lot--so I'm making a thread to put it all in instead of taking up a bunch of different ones.
Feel free to subscribe if you want to keep up with what's going on!
I'd love to hear all of your input, good or bad...just be honest!


Here's the truck so far:

2000 F-250 Supercab 4x4
7.3l D-Turbo-DI
Rhinolined exterior
Superchips Flashpaq
10" ProComp/Custom lift
40/15.5 Toyos on 22" XD Badlands with custom accents and center caps
AMP powersteps
100gal bed mounted tank w/pump (until it sells)
7" DVD touchscreen/Infinity/JL sound





Future Plans:
Better chip w/monitor
CAI
MBRP stacks w/6" chrome slash cuts
Custom box around stacks
Cut out Fender flares
Smoked lights
Custom grille- leaning towards modified 2007

 

to catch upon this past week....

I grew tired of the light gray grill and faded black bumper, so I bedlined them both. Really liked the result.

 

Whew.*
Pretty sure supercabs were never meant to have sub enclosures.*
By far the most complex design I've ever produced...especially for something to be so visually simple.
I really should have gone with 8s, but couldn't pass up a free JL 10.
I'm sure a Crew cab would have been a breeze, but the ext cab required ridiculous angles just to get a 10 to fit.*
Plus I wanted to integrate a storage area for jumper cables and basic tools.*
Ok. Mini-rant over.*
Just first time truck owner woes, I guess. Had to vent somewhere.*

May try carpeting again later...my seams are a bit rough, first time and all.

 

So...I decided to bedline accents on my rims, bedline my lugs, and customize my center caps with some Oakley skulls I had laying around....and naturally more bedliner.
I like how it turned out.
I'd love to know what you guys think.

Welcome to the forums. Truck looks great. Maybe 05-07 front end next? Harley style would look real nice on your truck.

 

really liking the "new" rims. very subtle, but completely changes up the look


welcome to FTE

 

Thanks guys!

Just a few more little things this week...
I grew tired of my damaged front bumper, and have yet to choose a suitable replacement. So until i make a decision on my front end--I found a thick metal license frame, bedlined it, and mounted it over my dent. Problem solved! I may not even change the front bumper now!

Before:



After:



Went ahead and made a matching for the rear:



I added a smoked 3rd Brake LED.



And smoked vent visors that I'm not sure I like:



Smoked lights on the way for front and rear!
More pics soon!

 

Man, you sure do like bedliner!

I have pretty much the same dent (maybe a little bigger) in the same spot. It annoys me, but I'll eventually get around to replacing it.




I would take off the half door vent visor and keep the front door visors on.

Keep us posted with all your latest updates and with the pics! Love pics!

 

Looks sharp!

 

Your truck looks like a perfect candidate for Ranch Hand bumpers.

Ranch Hand - The #1 Source For Truck Accessories

 

Thanks for the compliments, guys!
I'll check out that site, redford.

Added some baby air horns behind the front bumper on the passenger side!

 

Busy week...
New taillights:


New (and very necessary) headlights (with SilverStar zXe bulbs, LED turns and corners),




and bedlined the dash and vents(yeah, more overkill...but I hated the color).

 

Could ya get a pic of what the headlight bulbs look like at night?

 

The outer sections of the lights with the little sections of pods are mostly fake LEDs with only the center 5 being actual LEDs, so I didn't even hook them up.

 

Question - would those LEDs be bright enough to offer a visual queue to an oncoming driver as to where your truck edges were if you had a burned out headlamp?
