Chambo83's Build-2018 Lariat 5.0 4x4
Figured I will start a build thread here.
Picked up my 2018 Lariat about a month ago. Almost bought a 2017 but ended up ordering due to recalls on the 2017s. In the end I am really glad and think it worked out better this way.
5.0L 4x4 fx4 Plat white 3.73
I really like the way the two tone interior is and the way they did the dash with the white stitch.

Tint
First thing I did was researched the new tint that is out. I pulled the trigger on some 3M film. Did the windshield and pano sunroof 60% with 3m Crystalline. Eyebrow 5% on the windshield. 15% colorstable on the fronts and 35% on the rears. Turned out great! The pictures make it look darker than it looks in person

Next on my list is a level kit with some wheels and tires. I had my mind set on Bilstein 5100s. Had ordered a set but it came with the rears only! After I called and found out they are on back ordered until Jan 2018 I tried finding some other options. Decided to keep the rear bilsteins. Just ordered some rancho quicklifts on friday and they should be here on Tuesday! Now to figure out what wheel and tire combo I will pull the trigger on

Planning on Selling my stock wheel and tire set up after I get new wheels. I have been looking at hostiles and fuels 20x10-19paired with nitto ridge grapplers 33x12.50s. Want to keep the crash bars in place. So we will see how they fit! I have seen a few people fit them without taking them out or spread crash bars out a little bit

Not being a big fan of tan interiors, the 2 tone looks surprisingly good.

Order has been placed for wheel & tire set up! Now the conflict is TPMS sensors. Custom offsets wants $149 and they would already be installed or I can get OEs off amazon for $70 and need to get them installed
