ShaneOMac's Simple Sleeper Build
Well I finally decided to do a build thread. This will be a somewhat slow build and a reference page for myself. All the initial pics are going to be from my cell phone. So I will go ahead and apologize now. On to the pics
Day one when I brought it home in 2006: 98 XLT 3.0
First mod was a gift from my parents while I was away for a week. A 3" Fabtech lift spindle, 31" Geolanders, and 15" Eagle Alloy rims. I was beyond excited to come back to this
Next mod I did was tint my windows and a billet grille. Somewhere after that, I got a spray in bedliner as well.
Then I bought some clear corners and "projector" style headlights from Ebay.
At the time I liked the chrome bumpers better, so I bought chrome grille, front and rear bumpers, along with the fog light valence and added fogs.
In 2008, I saved up and bought the rest of Fabtech's kit (2.5 coil) from a member on another forum to make it a 5.5 kit and also bought 33x12.5x15 BFG A/T. I also installed 06 tail lights around that time. Other random things that were added that I dont have pics of is a Pioneer flip up DVD head unit, pioneer front speakers, polk audio rear speakers, Memphis Audio mono block amp, and Alpine Type R 12" sub in a ported box. OHC painted black to match interior.
----------
The truck sat this way for awhile because school took up most of my time and I was away for college. In 2010, I started to do some interior mods. I couldnt find any better pics of my seats at the time, but I had them re upholstered black and tan to match the interior and black carpet and headliner too.
Got some blue overlays for my gauges and white LEDS
Went and raided the junkyards and picked up an explorer center console, did the bucket mod and cut the 60/40 seats. Found out that explorers had lighted glove boxes so I had to get that of course and wire that up.
Spray painted the console black with krylon fusion and its held up just fine over the years. I also picked up an EATC and all the sensors from an explorer. This was a very busy weekend.
Before:
After:
Relocated the airbag switch. Got the idea from Buggman.
Got the lid recovered to match
Grabbed an 01-03 Airbag with the Ford logo in the middle. Much nicer than the ones without in my opinion.
Bought some LED strips from Amazon and wired them up under the bedrails and added a waterproof switch underneath the rail to turn them on/off from the outside.

Re: ShaneOMac's Simple Sleeper Build
Small update:
I added some LED projector style reverse lights. I was very impressed with the output for being plug and play. Definitely helps backing up with tinted windows. Ill try and get some actual output pics later but the camera on the phone didn't do so well picking up the light at night. I did get these though.

Re: ShaneOMac's Simple Sleeper Build
Can't believe I missed this thread for this long!
Lookin' good man.
I must admit I like the original wheels better than the new ones, but I'm a sucker for 5 spokes. HA!

Nothing wrong with a 2wd. Mines 2wd and it's an off-road toy sometimes but mostly a pavement princess.
