Deadman Offroad Fabrication's Build
Hello All
I bought my 2013 Ford F150 XLT in June 2015. I sold my Jeep build and hopped into a truck due to a commuting constraint, as I'm from Houston, but study Mechanical Engineering in Baton Rouge at LSU. A 99 Wrangler with 35's and a whole hell of alot of drivetrain upgrades/modifications to maximize clearance doesn't make for such a comfortable and reliable drive so I parted with it.
I bought the truck with 74k on the odemeter, she currently has 82k. She's 4x4, and has the offroad package (Love the selectable rear locker). Before I convinced myself to build it out, I NEEDED to get rid of the god awful factory rake, so I threw on a 2 inch pro comp level to hold me over until i get camburg coilovers and that's how she sits today. I have quite a few solidworks drawings with parts I plan to manufacture for her, but time is not something I have alot of during the school semester, so the big stuff will happen over breaks. So that being said, here is the new Deadman Offroad Fabrication's F150 Build.
List (I'll update it as I go)
ProComp 2 inch level (purchased and installed)
Still deciding on tire wheel combo; Some sort of M/t's
Deadman Offroad Front/Rear bumpers
Deadman Offroad Rocker Guards
Retrofitted HID Projector or OEM HID Swap
Morimoto XB Fog lights
Some sort of after market offroad LED/HID lighting
Rear back up lights
Custom Switch panel
Flowthrough Console Swap
FX4 Tailight Swap
Deadman Offroad Graphics
As you can see, i haven't yet decided on how everything is going together as I'm still gathering in the very early stages. I do however have a list of constraints and design criteria and a budget in mind, so I'm currently working toward an end result. I will keep this page updated not only for you guys to follow, but also as a personal record. Thanks for looking and Ill do my best to keep you updated!
Here are some current shots.
