Seems my new 2000 F-150 XLT needs a name! Lets see, history of my vehicles names... my 94 Explorer is Vegas, cause its bright, loud, and lots of fun (and i will loose lots of money on it, LOL). My old 98 F-150 was Babe, like Babe the Blue Ox (since im kinda like Paul Bunyon at 6' 8", LOL). My 92 F-150 was "le blanc bete" whichis french for The white beast. So, heres what this truck is equipped with. It's a 2000 XLT, colored island blue (which is basically dark teal), its got the 5.4 Liter V8 engine (the biggest one offered in the 2000 F-150's), an automatic transmission, the 4x4 off-road package and the tow package, the bed is rhino lined, it's got the single CD player with some custom stereo equipment, got a K&N FIPK (whole new air intake system) going in next weekend, and it's already got true dual exhaust. It's got the Lund bug deflector (nothing but the best) and it's got a genuine steel (like manik) black brush guard and a PIAA air dam... in the PIAA airdam is PIAA 520 fog lights, the 510 superwhite driving lights, and on the brushguard is 2 sets of PIAA 80 XT's. It's got grey cloth interior with the husky floormats. For right now I'm not planning on modifying the suspension, I kinda like being able to pull it in to the garage . Future plans include a black rollbar, with possibly 6 PIAA 80 XT's mounted on top (which would kill pulling it into the garage), and a powdercoated or black rubber tollbox for the rear, and possibly herculining or rhino lining the nerf bars, brush guard and roll bar.
Paris has already been recommended as a nickname,you know city of lights? But I'm not sure, two vehicles named after cities? Plus I wouldn't want anyone thinking this one was dirty and smelled bad... LOL. Here are some pictures of it so far:
All ideas welcome but please,d on't incorporate PIAA into the name like "PIAApet" we've been over that one before, LOL.
