Hey Scott, what's that peeking around on the left side of this picture? Do you still have your fine 'lil Ranger? BTW your truck looks fantastic!!

 

[dixie_boysles]

Hha, yeah the Ranger is "Just a Creepin" She doesnt like not being in the spotlight anymore. She is for sale sadly . I wish I made more monies to afford both, but with child on the way (reason for F150) I cant do it.

Thanks, Im just doing small mods to the F150 as it already had lots of mods done (level, 35s, efans, tuner, etc..)

 

[slmann]

looks great

 

[dixie_boysles]

Im a little aggrevated and mad, but gotta do what I have to do. The truck is going in to get new exhaust as the Duals that are on it now are literally falling off of the truck. The only rust on the entire truck was the custom exhaust.

Going the get cat back custom exhaust done with Di/Do muffler. But on top of that, started to hear a dang tapping/flutter/rattling noise on acceleration and believe I have also developed the STUPID manifold leak problem these F150s are notorious for (just google 04 f150 manifold). So now I have to address that. Oh the woes of a used truck

[O'Rattlecan]

I assume intake manifold?

Ryan

 

[dixie_boysles]

no exhaust manifold (s)

 

[O'Rattlecan]

On the flip side, at least it sounds like a fun excuse to get some nice headers and exhaust all the way back.

Ryan

 

[dixie_boysles]

im definitely having the exhaust done next wednesday, but headers are a no-go. a decent set cost about $450 or more. Im just going to put new manifolds in

 

[slmann]

that's a shame. still a nice looking truck.

 

[O'Rattlecan]

Holy cow, I had no idea they wanted that much for them.

Hellas FINALLY wired up (into the high beams with a relay):

Still need to fabricate a new bracket for them so they are easier to aim and sit more level. Also doing a 4500k HID conversion on them OR just throw in some LED H3 bulbs. Im doing the foglight mod this week so the fogs stay on with high beams. So now when I turn my high beams on, all my lights on the front will be on. Once the Hellas are converted, that will be BRIGHT!

AND picked up a wax that is supposed to be some of the best longest lasting on the market:

 

[Beach66Bum]

I think that wax is used on the Space Shuttle for re-entry...

seriously, having a high quality wax will make the paint "stronger" and resist all the abuse nature throws at it.

it's illegal to have aux.lights hooked up to the high beams here, must only work on low, but it looks really nice with the Hellas tucked behind the grill
