Hello Everyone, I'm New
I've been lurking around for the past few days, but I wanted to just introduce my self. I'm Matt and I live in Florida and go to FSU.
I just bought a 2005 F150 Supercrew XLT 4x4 with the 5.4 and 3.73 gears. This my 3rd white Ford truck and it's the best ever! My only gripe is the MPG, which I expected. 14 is pretty crappy, but I'm hoping break-in and a PCM reflash will help with that problem.
I've got big plans for my truck, but very little cash.
Some of my future plans...
Line-X spray in bed liner (next week)
K&N filter (in the mail)
Ford low profile bug shield (in the mail)
Chest tool box
Window tint
All weather floor mats (ANY SUGGESTIONS??)
Sylvania Silverstar headlights (when they become available)
And iPod AUX conncetor so I can control it with the factory radio
Any other ideas that won't break the bank or void my warranty?
I would post a picture in the text, but I don't know how, so check out my gallery below!

Did have the first day of classes today!! And got my damn truck towed... Had to go get it off of springhill road... Funny you should mention it. So, yes... Hard Times!! LOL
My sister and a few of her friends with lifted Jeeps used to have a little club... But it got shut down by the division of forestry or something like that... I guess thet were doing a bit too much wheelin'.
Email me and ill let you in on some good offroad spots up here. Maybe you can head out with us sometime.
