Default 2014 White Plat 5.0 build thread

So I have started building up my F150. From the moment it left the dealership a week ago, it began. Unfortunately, the day I picked it up, it was raining and the roads were horrible. I have yet to drive my truck clean. First few picks will be of a dirty truck because modding start so quickly and I wanted to get a shot of every step. ROUSH kit is sitting here now. I have to run all the 87 out of it and run a tank of 93 through it before I can install it. Install date will be the 24th.

Before pics...

Driveway leans, so it loks like the suspension is messed up. Taking a shot of the rear because I will be going with 20x10s and I want to compare the stance from the rear.

Your truck didn't come with steps?

I think that he's talking about the color not the trim level.

Are you doing any other engine mods, or just bolting up the supercharger?

It's a lariat. It didn't have step bars before? His first pic doesn't have any.


Yeah, I thought he meant the color too.

It did not. I was surprised too, but it still came with a lot of options. 3.55 gears, e locker, 36 gallon tank, nav, moonroof, etc.

I am going to just use the ROUSH tuning for now so that I can maintain a warranty. From the research I have done, the ROUSH tuning adds about 100-120hp to the wheels, putting it around 420whp. It's rated at 570hp at the crank, so this tells me these drivetrains are pretty parasitic.

For wheels and tires I will be going with these in 20x10s and am still determining if I want to go with Nitto 420s or the Terras for an aggressive look. Will wait to see how much of an issue traction is, then decide.

subscribing like what you are planning for the truck so far so would like to see how it turns out.

I like those wheels a lot also.
