What was the inspiration?
Back in high school I owned a 98 Ranger that was a similar blue color. It was the first vehicle I really modified and what got me into customization. I was on the market for a new full-size truck and really liked the style of the new F150s. Once I seen the color I fell in love. Never had a lifted truck before so decided it was time to build myself one.
How long did it take you to build?
Still not finished, but 2 years and counting.
How long have you been building?
18 years
Your future plans?
Finish off the interior, upgrade the audio system and dress up the engine bay more
Vehicle history
Ordered new in 2017, then it stayed relatively stock for the first year while I researched and collected parts. Last year it went from stock to modified in about 3 months time.
