vvv Newbie!

So here's my intro.

I'm new to Ford, and to Diesels, and to working on trucks. I'm so screwed!
Actually, I know quite a bit about building sportscars, and so far I'm finding out that I just need bigger tools and about 3x's more torque in my wrenching. lol I bought my completely stock 03 last month, and have already put quite a few mods on it. (see sig) I've read the boards quite a bit since then and already know most of the basic info. I'm just being lazy about the EGR removal, but have the coolant filter covered.
The diesel fueling is quite different than I'm used to, so I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions to ask in the future. For now, here's some pics of my ride at the dealership before mods:












I'd like to do some offroading and get the truck into the high 13's. It's a truck, so I'm not expecting it to fly. My future mods include:

5-6" lift
Bushwacker Cut-outs
38-40" tires w/wheels
Pre-runner style bumper w/winch
SCT
Exhaust

That's was the best upside - finally gave me an excuse to buy that 3/4" impact wrench!
