Default 2013 XLT Base Model Build

Purchased my 13 XLT Crew Cab new in July of 13. The sticker on it was $40,300.00 and walked out the door around $29,700.00. After letting her be factory for a year and a half besides small items I pulled the trigger and made her mine.

4" Rough Country Suspension Lift
20x10 Fuel Maverick Chrome
34x11 Toyo AT Tires
Ford OE Smooth Fender Flares PTM
Roush Exhaust Duel Rear
Advent OFO1501 OE Radio
Ford OE Backup Camera
Kicker PowerStage Kit
Ford OE Flip Hard Tonneau Cover
Chrome Bumpers Wrapped PTM Vinyl
Front/Rear Matching Tint
Raptor Style Ford OEM Rear Tail Lights

Had Ford Removed Factory 4x4 Stickers

After around 11k into her, Im not sure whats left to do. Ordered the Raptiod Gille from ebay and when it arrives having Ford PTM the grille. I would like to order leather from leatherseats.com as my final project. At what point do we stop the madness??

Truck looks great. I'm a big fan of crew cabs with the long bed. I have to ask, how did you get out the door for $10,600 under MSRP? was there a trade involved or was that just with rebates and such?

Looking good so far, I also have a crew with the 6.5' box. Coming from an extended cab ranger, these are long trucks. Makes it a bear to park sometimes.

My aunt at the time was dating someone from
Ford and gave me his A plan and I told them I think I can do better so they went $1,000 below A. Seemed like a steal since I had no ties to the guy.

Since I posted I pulled the trigger on leather inside from leatherseats.com. By the end of the month the build will be complete beside re-purchasing rims, customoffsets.com sent the wrong rims.

Thanks all, here's a pic of the raptoid grille installed after ford painted it, roughly $950 in the grille but worth it for the look.

Picking up the truck tomorrow from Spade Kreations here in Cincy, she's been gone for 10 days getting the leather installed with heated seats. While they had the truck, I had them tint the fog and headlights and modify the front bumper and extend it out 2" to meet with the fender flares. Plus I wasn't all that happy with the vinyl wrap on the chrome bumpers so they stripped the chrome and painted them. Pictures posted soon.

Also ordered an upgrade from rough country to make the truck a 6" lift. It never ends!!!

wow I think the vinyl looked good (in the pictures anyway). I am debating what to do with mine. New Painted, Blast and powder, or vinyl. Hoping I can just buy someones FX4 take off at some point. Nice job. Cant wait to see pics of the new mods. I am also interested in the interior upgrade to leather for my XLT. do you have the jump seat or captains?

Some jackass today ran a stop sign and totaled my build. Slammed me into a telephone poll. The build was finally complete 2 weeks ago.
