2011 f-150
Bought this 2011 F-150 Lariat 5.0L Pretty much fully loaded.
I just sold my 1998 Jeep Cherokee se 230,000miles
bare bones Jeep as far as comfort!
With two kids and all the towing and outdoors stuff we do this F-150 is great! This truck need just a couple things to better for me, so i figure i would start a build page.
First thing i need a front hitch for my cooler / fishing rack.
So i got an adjustable hitch at a yard sale for $20. Welded up a set of brackets to mount it to the tow hooks, behind the license plate.

MotoFab 2.5" Front and 1.5" rear lift making room for 295/70/18 Cooper S/T Maxx. Wheels were stuck on! I had to work them like crazy, loosen lugs and drive around to get the wheels to pop off the hubs. After that it was easy no real issues.

Got Cooper S/T Maxx 295/70/18 and an alignment done on the truck just before the snow hit us! I was a little scared they would hit, but they just make it with out any trimming! I was very happy with these tire in the snow and Ice! Quite on the parkway, no big tire squatting on turns. Very happy so far.

Just picked up a set of Weather Tech Floor mats, with the full back mats. $100 and with all the snow and crap weather lately they should be great.
Height is now 78"
Other Mods planed
1: Led Bed lighting
2: Make rear fold down seat pins pull cord
3: Fiberglass Cap
4: Tuner for towing
5: Backup Lights Might change all the light bulbs out for the high output Leds
6: rhino lining bed

Drilled out rear seat latches for pull cord. Made a quick little tool to help grab the little pin. Made it much easier to get the seats down.
bent up a coat hanger to grab the rear seat pin.
