My first truck!

[Cory1020]

well I got it a few weeks ago. Worked all this summer and part of last summer to pay for all of it. Its a 99 f150 v8 4x4. Tell me what yall think

[Cory1020]

[Young Gun]

Nice! So whens the lift coming in?

[Cory1020]

Thanks

Once I get the money. Which could be awhile. Something decent for tires is first then some accesories like bull bar, bed rails, maybe spray in liner, new head unit. I have sony xplods coming for the front doors. Itll be a long project based on "when I get the money" lol

[Quadracer]

thats nice but ill tell you that a spray on liner is very expesive over a regular liner.
a regular one is $180 and a spray on is about $350
i just got a regular one for my truck

[Chevy1500z71]

if you want a spray in trust me go line x. rino is like a big piece of buble gum its realy rubery and can peel rite up. i have line x and its awsome. nice truck. id wait on the bull bars. get a 200$ body lift and see if u can stuff some 33s in there.

edit: if you have rhino im exagerating a litle bit dont bash me, reed this and see why i feel rhino isnt the best http://www.fullsizechevy.com/forums/general-discussion/exterior-tech/197127-rhino-vs-line-x.html

sory for kinda jacking you thread.

[qt314nfla]

nice first truck.  congrats!!!

[Kawa3]

Nice truck!

[Cory1020]

thanks! yeah idk about spray in. Prob not, I like how they look. It already has a plastic one, Im prob not going to worry about it.

I can crank up torsion bars in the front and get spring blocks for the back and Ive heard I can fit 35s easily. I was only going to go 33s tho

[r6realtor]

You know what makes that truck so nice?..... you paid for it by yourself! Everything I have I earned no one else has paid for it, thats why I keep my stuff in such great shape. Good for you man! Great looking truck!

[Fox17]

pretty sweet. get ya some muddin tires and magnaflow exhaust and youre hooked up.

and bout the bed liner, get herculiner from any auto parts store or wally world. it is the best. $75 for the kit. my friend did a 2006 dodge 2500 with it and it looks absolutely perfect. you cant tell it from a line x. he took alot of time and did all the prep work and all to do it perfect though. if youve got the patience and the time, nothin is better.

[atvrob]

damn kid you must have a hell of a good summer job ,nice truck

[Cory1020]

thanks everyone. Yeah the job wasnt easy, 11 weeks long 9-12 hour days.

[Miami450R]

Richards old truck!!


wow u cleaned it alot

you got a really good deal on that too!


that thing is awesome.rode in it countless times and drove it a couple of times too.



can hold 2 z400's in the back if u put enough effort into it

[Cory1020]

yea it was richards. alot of cleaning did go into it. Inside cleaned up alot too. I think I got a good deal . Im happy with it.

[gearhead400]

You might wanna drive a truck with the torsion bars cranked first. They ride rough. Nice truck!

get flowmaster(here comes an argument). and roll in bedliner is a cheep alternitive that would be alright but nothing special. i wouldnt go rip out you plastic liner to slap some herculiner in it.

[Cory1020]

yeah I havent decided on exhaust brand, either flowmaster or magnaflows. Ill prob stick with my plastic liner, its a good ford oem one.

[LakeMaryKid]

Props to you bro. It feels great. Trust me i know. Herculiner if applied properly and well prepped is just as good as line-x and rhino. Drop in's suck. Your better to run no bedliner than a drop in.

[Cory1020]

most ppl prob dont prep it good enough. hey lakemarykid are you on fordtruckworld.com also? I think I remember seeing that same screen name...

[Chevy1500z71]

i have line x and love it, I'm positive that hurculiner wont be as thick or durable, but more than enuf. my bro got some herculiner for his truck ill let you know how it stacks up against my line-x

any yea if you have a plastic liner I'm sure it looks nice but your beater off with no liner since if your bed is scratched up your gona have rust problems.

that looks pretty sweet, i saw a truck on fullsizechevy.com linexed all the way up to the windows with the bumpers and all line-xed. thats a good idea tho my truck is all srcatched up back there from rocks and crap flinging on it.

yeah I havent decided on exhaust brand, either flowmaster or magnaflows. Ill prob stick with my plastic liner, its a good ford oem one.

magniflow if you want mellow flowmaster 40 if you want loud and aggressive, flowmaster 50 if you want realy deep and not ridiculously loud... and then theres flowmaster 10 series which are the loudest most aggressive sound but there considered race mufflers so dont expect to find 10 series at the local muffler shop.

[LakeMaryKid]

Yep im a member of Fordtruckworld. The get togethers they have are a blast. I was Truck of the Week last week for the site and in the running for truck of the month September for the Florida Chapter. Post up in the florida chapter.

Take it to a local muffler shop(not Meineke or a chain store) They will know what to put on when you tell them the sound you want. Magnaflow, Flowmaster, and the like are over rated. I used glass packs on my 2002 Chevy and took off the catalytic converter. It sounded AWESOME. Should cost $250 or less to have dual exhaust put on.

glasspacks are awesome

i agree with you on magniflow but not flowmaster. magniflow is overrated. if i wanted a glass pack id get a 20$ chery bomb not an overpriced glorified glass pack(magniflow). flowmaster on the other hand is a totaly dfrent kind of mufler. it all depends on what type of sound you want. if you want the glass pack sound they all sound the same magniflow is just overpriced

my truck has the 02 senser before the cat so i have no cat without any problems, but if you have any sensers after the cat you service engine light will come on without a cat... something to think about before riping out your cat... and it cost me 600 for true dauls with 2 flowmaster 40s and an h pipe and tips and all.

[LakeMaryKid]

Damn Kawasaki i hope they pulled the KY out for you!

 No doubt!! I get true Duals (very high quality work) with two Flowmasters and Stainless tips for 450.00... no matter what the truck.

sory for kinda jacking you thread.

 Cory DONT do a body lift. Save your $$$ and do a suspension lift. Body lifts are a joke and ruin the value of your truck. Rhino is not the best liner but line x also is not the best choice, do some reserch on you own and get what you can afford and feel comfy with. I can get you dealer cost if that helps.

[Cory1020]

thanks for the offer swampdonkey, Ill keep it in mind for when I get the $. At first I liked body lift b/c of price, but Ive read about the amount of labor that goes into it (not a big deal) and getting the bumpers to line up etc.. Then I saw pics of a wreck where a truck with a 4"body lift I believe, and it got slammed buy a car and it broke the cab and bed off the frame compleatly. They truck was in 3 big pieces. I was thinking about cranking up the torsion bars and get spring blocks, just 2-3" to fit 33s, maybe 35s.

cat back or header back? i had mine from the headers back. he overcharged me on the muflers, if i came with my ownt mufflers i would have saved 100$ he charged me 110 per muffler wich i later saw the same muffler at autozone for 70$ a peice. and my truck took ALOT of pipe since it is TRUE dauls.

[Shawn Collister]

Drop in bed liners actually offer more protection that spray in's.

I used to haul busted up concrete in my 150 sometimes.
One of the reasons I got a 250

The "ribs" on the bottom of the drop ins protect your bed from denting.
Spray in bed liners will let you dent your bed MUCH easier.

Plus it seems like the spray ins all fade.... I had the whole steel flatbed and bumper guard Rhino Lined on my F550.... I even paid $100 extra for the "uv coating".    It looked pretty faded after a yr or 2.

On my last truck I had TRUE duals also. header back with glass packs. I paid $200. if I have flowmasters it woulda been $200 more.
