Default Goodbye. Oh hello...

After so many years, miles, mods and money. I finally made the decision to let go of my Mazda3. It was tougher than expected and I do miss it.
These are the last two shots i have of it before i traded it in.
Weather condition wasnt great as you can tell

last pic that i took of it at the dealer

and the mazda with my new vehicle.


It is a 2010 Ford F-150 Raptor 5.4L V8 in Blue Flame Metallic, fully loaded with 36k on the odometer. I have big plans for it but for now gas and payments are the priorities :/.
Only mods so far are HIDs and custom LED LP lights. Hopefully I can get the map/dome lights custom with LED and the OEM SVT floor mats since that was the only thing that didnt come with the truck oh and i removed the dealer badge/lp frame/dealer plate and dealer decal. Few pics for now.
5k Bi-Xenon HIDs

LED LP lights


And a shot from the room when i got to the beach.

I love those. Nice choice man. How much was it? I remember looking at them new and it was way out of my range

Thanks!

Trade in plus the 2k down and extended warranty paid in advanced, 34k.
I have always had a thing for them and wanted one but they were out of my range, well still are. Idk how im going to do it with this one lol. Made a bad choice to make a V8 a DD, good thing its flexfuel bad thing is it doesnt last.

5.4? Sure it isn't the 6.2? I was unaware they made the raptor with a 5.4.

Positive, its a Triton 5.4L. All the first 2010 Raptors came in the 5.4L v8 and the 6.2 was optional. They later completely dropped the 5.4 seeing that it didnt have the power and torque the 6.2 was pushing out.
5.4L - 320hp/390tq
6.2L - 411hp/434tq
