Almost a year in...

And I'm still loving my truck.
I also finally got my first aftermarket piece in the garage waiting to be installed this weekend. 2 more pieces are on the way.
My Rough Country leveling kit arrived today. 2.5" front, 1" block and Nitro 9000 shocks for the rear.
My window visors, and air filter are coming hopefully before the end of the week.

I remember my first thought when I was buying the truck..., "I've got so many things I'm going to buy for this right away!"
Then a year passes before you know it and you're still driving a stock truck.
Well I say, Let the modifications begin!

Sorry for the random thread btw, I'm just overly excited that this is all finally happening.

First on my truck was the driving lights. I think 7 months. Waiting for a good reason to drop the trans pan and install the fitting for a Lazer Transmission temperature gauge. Changed my mind on installing mud flaps. Anyone interested in them? PM me. Maybe a Volant soon.

I'll get pics after this weekend. My leveling kit will be on by then.
I'm jumping out of my body I'm so excited to install it.

My window visors came today, and that was the easiest install ever.
I can't seem to find a company name, but they are the Slimline In-channel visors.
They look really nice on there.
For some reason, they only came with the front 2 So I'll need to find a set for the rear to finish the look off.

Next comes the air filter (not a cold air intake, just a new washable dry filter) which is on the way.
Then tires, rims, exhaust, LED lights, This massive tube bumper that I saw that could take out a small city, stereo system...etc...etc

I figure that once I'm done buying all of these goodies, My lease will be up and I'm going to want to get that F-150 Raptor.
