Hey everyone, I bought a 2013 XLT super crew with 40k miles, 5.0. Tuxedo black. Swapped out the center seat with a console already. Also switched the 3rd brake light and tails. Blacker the better. This is my first Ford product. I've owned 4 Rams, 1 GMC, and 2 Toyota trucks. Only had the truck about a month. Ill post picture when I get a chance. Good to be here! I live in MD. Approx 30 miles from DC.

I am also looking for the following parts, and have PayPal:
1.Tuxedo black grille. Either style is fine.
2.Black surround headlights
3.Single cat-back exhaust
4.Tuxedo black handles (if they make them lol)


Semper Fi,
Dan

Welcome, and thank you for your service!

Quick question, how difficult was the swap from center seat to console? I have the 3rd seat on my '16, but would really like that center console.

Super easy. Took all of 25 min with me vacuuming the carpet. On my 13 the holes in the bracket are off approx 1" so I used self tapping bolts. It's secure as the seat was. Just unplugged the 12v and dropped it in. Makes the truck look much better IMO.

This weekend was a good one!


I added black headlights, tuxedo matched black grille, painted my tail pipe black, black tail lights, tonno pro soft tri-fold, 2" front level from readylift, and put on new 275/70/18 Falken Wild Peaks. Had Mr. Tire mount and balance with an alignment. Truck looks a million times better IMO.


I have to get all the pics together and post them soon!
