Red Dragon Gets a BBK Throttle Body
April 26th, 2010 by Chuck
Hello friends,
Time for another upgrade! As I mentioned in my first post, the intake system made a world of difference in power, torque, and gas mileage. I was happy with the performance of the truck, but because I am such a speed junkie I wanted more.

I was doing some research on how to get additional off the line power. Keep in mind I really didn’t want to get too crazy with the upgrades either. I just wanted direct easy to bolt-on power, just like the intake system I installed. After researching and asking around, upgrading the throttle body was what I needed to do.

Bumps Bumps with an MTX Sub
April 21st, 2010 by Chuck

I’m still doing my research on the exhaust (leaning towards Dynomax), but I wanted to tell you guys about the new upgrade I just added to my F-150. The latest upgrade I made was to the inside of the truck. I have added a self-power subwoofer made by MTX Part# F150C04. I was tired of listening to music without any bass.

Installing New Floor Mats – WeatherTech DigitalFit Floor Liners
April 19th, 2010 by Chuck
There’s really not much to the installation of new floor mats; all you really do is take your old ones out and slide the new ones in. I think the toughest part was deciding on which mats to go with.

There are a couple of companies that have been around for years and offer different floor liners. I decided to go with the WeatherTech DigitalFit FloorLiner. The thing that caught my eye on these liners was the attention to detail that WeatherTech put into these liners. I really like that they made these liners fit perfectly to every edge and curve that the truck has. I mean, they even had a cutout for where the factory floor mat hooked onto. I have seen other brands just cover that up and not even use it. High five for that idea, WeatherTech!

Upgrade: Precision Grilles – Bumper & Main
April 15th, 2010 by Chuck

Upgrading your grille is a must on your truck. There are many options out there, so I decided not to go with the traditional billet grille style. Since I am looking for a sport truck look, I went with the Precision Grille One Twenty stainless wire mesh grille. This really made the front end of my truck stand out.

I just picked up an LED third brake light made by Recon P#264124BK. It’s a smoke lens with one of the brightest bulbs I have ever seen on a third brake light. This sucker is super bright and stands out from a mile away; it looks really great.

2006 Ford F-150 SuperCrew 5.4L S/B 2WD (Project Red Dragon)
April 9th, 2010 by Chuck

My name is Chuck and in 2006 I decided to buy my first truck ever. I have always been an import and speed junkie, so trucks were something I never saw myself owning or working on. Nevertheless, I became a proud owner of a Ford F-150.

Now, just to let you know, I have never owned a vehicle that I left in its stock condition and this truck wasn’t going to be the exception. I have made a couple useful upgrades to make this truck faster, stylish, and fuel efficient. One of the very first things I noticed about this truck was the lack of low end horsepower, meaning the acceleration off the line needed some major help. What I decided to upgrade first on my truck was the intake system.

Making the decision to modify your vehicle can sometimes seem like a daunting, expensive task but it truly doesn’t have to be. I decided to take a 2004 Ford F150 5.4L 4WD Crew Cab and turn it into something that would be a comfortable daily driver and still be able to tackle the craziest of desert trails.
