McCarthy's 2017 3.5TT Build- "Blue Beast"
Hey guys, Picked up a 2017 F150 XLT 302A, FX4, 3.5 eco/10 speed, SCab, 6.5' box a couple weeks ago...
I ordered the truck October 3rd, 2016 and it arrived Feb 1 2017. Four months total. WOW!
I had a 2013 FX4 5.0l previous to this.
My plans for this truck are nothing extreme, just designed to supplement the factory abilities and, and a few mild upgrades.
-Airbags, to level the load with a side by side in the bed
-Custom in-bed carrier for the side by side, probably build this myself.
-275/70/18 BFG KO2 or DuraTrac (for next winter)
-20" Rigid Light bar front (Remote area of northern Canada...)
-2x Rigid D2 Dually lights on the back for reverse lights (Also the turn your ****ing high beams off ******** dodge driver behind me lights)
I would like to level it, and run 34" tires, but I need the rake as I tow and regularly have 2000lb's in the bed.
Also considering a tidy tank. TBD.
Anyway, meet the Blue Beast;
Fresh off the truck!
We have a TON of snow right now... Plowing every few days at this point.
Ah, the toy!
