As a truck enthusiast, I love to attend shows and truck club gatherings. I call it Up N Flames. It's a 2002 Ford F-150 Supercab XLT 2wd 5.4 V8 with the 7700 package. The 7700 package is a heavy duty F-150 that comes with many extras such as 7 lug wheels, stronger brakes, frame and radiator. Lifted Sport truck is the theme of my truck, and I'm transforming it into a totally custom truck with this extreme theme. Why the Lifted Sport truck theme? I like the looks and modifications I've seen on most lowered sport trucks but I like the stance of a lifted truck so I've built my truck to meet my taste and other people seem to like it.

A custom flamed paint job has been added by JBC Customs in Colton CA as well as a shaved emblems and cowl induction hood. The front and rear of the truck were also not left untouched. The rear has been cleaned up with a roll pan and painted tailgate handle and the front has custom lights,bumper cover and flamed grille.
But not all that can be shown off without a high rising/attention getter truck. A 7 inch Fabtech suspension lift has been added which allows me to clear my 35" BFG Mud Terrain tires mounted on 18x10 custom drill Boze Fatal rims. Of course I plan on going higher some day.
With the suspension lift and exterior products added, I have then proceeded onto the interior, custom blue aluminum brush parts have been through out the cab as well as many billet pieces such as the shifter, pedals, and *****. I have accented the cab with custom two tone leather to help tie the rest of the modifications together.
I also couldn't leave the engine compartment stock. A high performance AirAid intake has been be added, along with higher performance FlowerMaster exhaust. Billet pieces and chrome wire loom have also been added under the hood to create a shining engine. My favorite under hood mode has to be the custom painting I had done. JBC Customs smoothed and painted the plastic parts under the hood to match the truck then to add the final touch I had the add some custom flames to the throttle body and Radiator cover that really stands out..
