Thought I should start my own since I'm finally starting to break some ground in mod progress.

My Truck as I got it (just cleaned up a little)

1. Threw a bead of silicone around the third brake light to seal up the classic leak, no pictures but pretty obvious how it works
2. Got rid of the two bald a$$ tires on the back and moderately bad ones on the front and replaced them with GFgoodrich p265-70-18s and put one of the semi good tires on as my spare.
3. Sold the POS bed liner for $130 and left the bed bare until I could afford to liner the bed.

After

4. Found some 3” black pvc pipe in the side yard and decided to do the gotts mod.
The Pipe

All Together

5. Edge Evolution- found on craigslist for $200. Bought it immediately and used it for its tune and bumped up my idle RPM to fix the bad idle that had occurred since resetting the PCM for gotts mod.

6. Low Profile Toolbox- $80 free for me, found it on craigslist and parents bought it for me for Christmas.

7. Cardinals sticker- $22.xx but again a Christmas present.
See above Picture
8. Cleaned the TB and MAF, Changed the Diff Fluid after 114k of the original stuff, and Replaced the horribly designed IWE Solenoid

9. Took the truck in and got the entire bed linered.
This is the day after it was finished (we got a lot of rain ((for Arizona)) as soon as I left the shop and couldn't take pics of it until the day after.

10. Ordered a 2” AutoSpring leveling kit off ebay for $70 and tried to install it myself but ended up paying firestone to install and align for $220

11. Found a grill guard online for 120 and then had a friend fab up some mounts (thanks Cole!)

12. While at Cole’s shop we took the muffler off of my truck and left it as a straight pipe. I’m in the process of getting the pipe to exit in front of the passenger side wheel. Pics to come when it's done.


Future Plans are:

Offroad Lighting
Strobes in Heads and Tails
Smoked LED Tails and 3rd Brake Light
CB Radio (Cobra 19)
New Seats- reupholstered

Looks good. How loud is the straight pipe?

it's got a decent tone to it. The 04 f150s (I think 05s might have too) came with 4 cats so there's still a decently quiet tone, but if you get on it you know the muffler isn't there anymore. I would say its probably louder in the cab.

I sincerely hope you're joking.

No I wasn't joking...
I had never heard of it till you mentioned it...
I am a GM guy...:lol: :lol:
I went to F150online and read about it...
It is replacing a restrictive piece of the intake... looks like it should work OK...
