I know this can be only a one day thing but that doesn't matter
What you have to do is basically just post a picture of your car/ bike from the day you got it until now.
What have you done to your vehicles?
Here is mine:
Changes that have been made:
Got a few more mods planned for this year but they can be kept secret for now

This is my '97 F-150 XLT4x4 with the 4.6L engine and 4R70 trans.
The day I bought it, still sitting on the lot on 10/1/13:
As of today:
Mods:
5" Rough country lift
F-250 leaf springs in the rear with an AAL
35" Toyo A/T II tires
17x9 XD series spy wheels
Flow master 10 series muffler with stock 2.5" exhaust pipe
Waag brush guard
Chevy style tow mirrors
Undercover bedrail hooks
Bed liner
Arias 3" oval nerf bars
Spyder tail light housings
Anzo headlight / corner lamp housings
Spot lights tagged on the rear bumper as my reverse lights
Toolbox (not pictured)
Stock fog lights (the truck didn't have any, just had plastic inserts)
Custom 4x4 decals
2015+ F-150 emblems
Yes, by definition this is a ricer truck lol. I didn't build it for power because when I bought it I had MPGs in mind, so I bought the smallest V-8 available to this truck, the Triton 4.6L. Not only does the engine not put out enough power, but the trans is too small. It's a 4R70, which means a 4 speed auto (with OD / reverse), and can handle a max of 700 ft lbs of torque. As if that wasn't enough the truck has the Ford 8.8 rear end with a 3.55 limited slip. I'd want the 9.75 with at least 3.73's, but 4.10's would be ideal, especially in a Sterling 10.25 rear end. This is my first truck so it was just meant for me to get to and from work / school until I started making enough money to customize it. It is a '97 with 181k miles, so it's not worth dumping a lot more into it, as of now the truck blue books around 5,750, but I have almost 3 times that much into it. My plan is to get a little car pretty soon, sell this truck and buy a F-250/350 with the 6.8L V-10, or a Chevy 2500/3500 diesel. I'd rather go Ford, but I want a diesel and Ford has had a horrible diesel engine now for the past 13 years. I'd go Dodge but they have bad transmissions, so Chevy isn't the best in any factor, but the combo of the Duramax and Allison work fairly well. The Allison is known to have a few issues though, but not nearly as many as Dodge's transmissions.
