So, here goes! I traded in my 2005 King Ranch F150 with 75k for a 2012 F150 FX4 with 36k. I needed a little more room in the back for 2 growing kids, plus I really wanted that ecoboost! I got up early on a Saturday, drove 5 hours up, signed paperwork, and hit the road back. We'll start with a pic of the truck from the website I bought it from:



First thing I did was swap out all the interior lights for LEDs:






Next up, I blacked out the emblems, tail lights, and headlights:



After that, I went for the 2.5" front/1.5" leveling kit (thanks to this forum!) so I could put a new set of BFG KO2s on in 305/55r20




I found a Lund Genesis trifold soft tonneau on sale from Amazon




To be continued....

I scored an aFe Stage 2 CAI from another member:



I ordered a new set of headlights with switchback indicators










I've also added an Edge CTS2 tuner, trying to keep those MPGs up!

Next is a Heartthrob exhaust, should be here tomorrow. After that, who knows! Thanks for taking a peek at my little build, hope you enjoyed!

Got my Heartthrob 4" installed with a black MBRP 5" tip today, so far so good!

Managed to get my hands on a Platinum grill last week and had it PTMd black:



And finally got a chance to clean her all up:

Looks awesome, I almost got the same truck in an extended cab. I love the blacked out app packages. Did you throw HIDs in those headlights by chance?

dysfunkshun

Yes sir, I called the company and had them install HIDs instead, 6000k to match everything else. I know they're not as good as a retrofit, but they work for me.

I'm in the process of getting mine worked out currently. They aren't very helpful with explaining how they were able to wire everything up, and I didn't call them ahead of time because I wanted to use TRS components. Did they hook you up with the halogen ones and use H7 bulbs or are you using D2S bulbs and ballasts like factory Ford does?

dysfunkshun

I called before I ordered and they were very helpful at VIPmotoz. I specifically asked for D2S, but they said they couldn't do it. So yeah, I got the H7 HIDs

BC119

Do you have any pictures of the kit they sent you, or the wiring of your headlights by chance? I was in the same boat, but the D2S ready ones were out of stock with no ETA and I figured the H7 ones couldn't be that hard to figure out.

When I get home tomorrow, I'll pull one out aand snap a pic for you!
