im with my very first vehicle which is a wonderful standard 00 F-150 (4.2L V6 2wd) its at the 117,000 mileage mark and i wanna keep it runnin strong. i have upgraded the air intake, and have a flomaster exhaust installed. whats some other crucial upgrades that are the best and actually noticeable??ive been looking at suspension/steering system but i dont know much about that but i know theres more important things than that.
ever think about an airbag suspension kit? so you can lower and raise it when you want and have a very smooth ride? itll be pretty expensive but i think you can buy a kit. a set of performance gears for the rear axle would give it better acceleration and make it a lot more fun. a 3.73 ratio or lower (4:10) would be good but if you go too low itll be hard on gas and may make your 1st gear very short.
Detail it out and give it a good coat of wax. A nice set of wheels really will set it off noticeably. With a V6 it's never going to be a hot rod so just focus on making it look great and don't worry so much about performance upgrades.
Wheels and tires in my opinion is the most noticeable. Sounds kinda far out but wash it with comet and then wax it. The comet will not scratch it like people think, it would be like giving it a lite compound polishing and waxing. Also use SOS pads on the windows and chrome, or fine steel wool. Use Simple Green multi purpose cleaner, not the Simple Green degreaser. Scrub the tires with the cleaner and a scotch brite pad, then armor all the tires, also spray the engine compartment with Simple Green and power wash it a couple of times and leave the engine running while power washing it. Clean the interior with Simple Green also. Could even take the interior out and spray it with Simple Green and power wash it. Tint the windows, at least the back glass.
It originated back in the late 1980's or early 1990's. Most likely it was part of the new age movement or started by someone who wanted to sell more crystals of various types. I didn't keep track but I've heard various properties attributed to different crystals i.e. one person says quartz heals and another says it increases love.
