Well, figured I'd do one of these. I think I started one a few years ago, but my Flickr account got compromised and all the photos were deleted so that thread went to ****.
Anyways, here's how my truck looked when I got it. This isn't the exact truck, but you get the idea.
Not too long after I brought the truck home, it was time for a little level. Picked up some Bilstein 5100 shocks and set them to their tallest height.
Next up were wheels and tires. I wanted to get something close to 35" and didn't like the look of the larger wheels, so I settled on a combo of 17" XD Addicts wrapped in 315/70/17 Goodyear Duratracs.
I also Plastidipped the F-150 badges black (both fenders and tailgate) and removed the STX decals as well as the "Flex Fuel" badge on the tailgate.
Up next were some Raptor/FX4 taillights and a Husky Low-Pro Toolbox.
After those mods, I took a hiatus from modding the truck. I decided to start spending a little more money on guns and went down the Night Vision rabbit hole.
Anyways, I'm now back to the truck.
Since then, I've tinted the windows, as well as added NFAB Cab Length Nerf Bars, Raptor/FX4 headlights, and a Recon smoked 3rd brake light. Also added some "4x4 Offroad" decals to the bedsides to replace the "STX" decals.
Up next? I ordered a Rogue Racing Rebel front bumper and a Rigid 40" RDS LED light bar. The bumper is about 3 weeks out, so hopefully I'll have an update by then with everything installed. Here's what the bumper looks like.
After that, probably going to be adding a mesh grille (think a Smittybilt M1) with a 30" light bar mounted behind it. Stay tuned.

Got some better pictures today with a little better lighting. Truck needs a wash but I'm being lazy.
Edit: It appears my bumper already shipped. Just have to contact the freight shipping company to setup delivery. 40" Rigid RDS should be here on Friday as well. With any luck I'll be able to get everything installed and wired up by Sunday.

Truck looks great man! I have a 2013 STX 5.0 4x4 and want to do something similar to yours. I wish I didn't have black though. I like black accents not an all black rig. Can't complaint though it had 5,XXX miles on it when I got it last year and some nice options like locker and center console.

Thanks, bud! I think a center console swap may be in my near future as the jump seat really serves me no purpose.
