Default Blackout 2.0

Well someone has already dubbed their build "blackout" so my build will be 2.0. Starting with a 2013 Tuxedo Black FX4 5.0. Haven't really gotten around to doing much due to work and terrible weather. So far, 5 star tuned, AFE intake, leveled, solo MR400 exhaust, Truxedo tonneau, tinted tail/3rd/windows. Finally got around to installing my V LED switchbacks. Currently have HID fogs in but am on track to doing a projector fog, just deciding which route I want to go. Waiting for install are a PTM tremor grille, 6'' RCX lift with Bilstein 5100's, 35x12.5x20 Cooper STT's, and 20'' XD Addicts. Moody is working some custom bed decals for me and I already got some matte/gloss overlays a month or two ago. Also have a 20'' LED for the bumper that I'm hoping to install next week. Fairly stock looking at the moment but I'm planning on doing the lift at the end of the month. I was pretty set on going with a coilover lift, but in all reality this truck won't see any hardcore offroad so it was hard to justify coilovers. Deavers are potentially in the works for the rear. Later on down the road I may do a 2.5/2.0 setup but for now a basic lift will suffice. Fairly stock looking at the moment but soon to change within a month or so. This is my 2nd f150 I've owned. Definitely happy with the purchase for the most part. I previously came from a few built superduties and felt it was time to downsize to a little bit tamer/maintenance free truck.

Please excuse the phone pics. Didn't really feel like diggin the slr out.

















Hoping to nab a set of powersteps this summer as well. Not a huge build by any means but something to start.

Did you night shade those tail lights yourself?

Oh ok. That is a sexy truck man. Got to love black when they shine like that. Especially with the black accents you have, it's a unique truck. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this build.

Thanks man! I'm excited to finally get my growing parts list put on it. Thinking I may hold off on the fog lights at the moment and do a retro fit headlight as well.

Head rests and console lid are sent to @Bdukes55 for some custom embroidering. Moodyblue is hitting me up with some custom bed decals too. I have emblem overlays just waiting for the weather to warm up for those. Also waiting for the weather to warm up to throw my tremor grille on. RCX 6'' with 5100's is going on this weekend/week with -12 offset 20x9 XD addicts. I did get my 20'' LED mounted in the bumper. Pics to follow. Flexfuel badge will be coming off. Not sure what I want to do with the fender/tailgate emblems yet. I don't think I want to fully black them out as the chrome is just enough to break it up a hair. Hoping to score a set of powersteps too.

Excuse the cell phone pics and the rain







Better pics will come as the weather breaks and I can get a good detail in. Very happy with the results so far.

You started out blurring your plate number; but didn't on your most recent post in case that matters to you.
