Just picked mine up a month ago. Adobe interior



So far my list of to dos are...
  • Leveling Kit
  • Bigger Tires
  • Bedliner
  • Replace Jumpseat with a Center Console
  • Vinyl wrap on the tailgate/hood
  • Remote Start

Unfortunately when I decided to upgrade from my 06 F150 to a 2013 I missed the cut off for being able to build the exact options that I wanted and thus now have to add them on afterwards.

Picked mine up at the end of October (27 October). I frequently lag with taking progress pics, and need to keep up on it. This was from a month ago.

Full Throttle 8" full coil over suspension
Fuel 2 piece 22" Nutz wheels
Fuel 37x13.5x22 tires
SCT Livewire
Amp powerboards
LED lights inside/cargo
Spectre HID projector headlights
Full-Race intercooler w/Tial BOV
Full-Race exhaust
AFE Stage 2 intake

Have to install helper air bags, traction bars, and re gear to 3.73.

That looks awesome. I see you are re-gearing to 3.73. What gears does it have in it now and will 3.73 be low enough? Reason I ask, is I am very close to doing some lift and bigger wheels and tires and was just curious about the re-gearing. I have the 5.0 with 3.55 gears for now.

Sean,

I currently have the 3.31 gears. The ecoboost pulls right through the 37s like nothing. I just adjusted the revs per minute with the Livewire. The screen shows me at 15.7 MPG. In doing the math to go from 3.31 with the stock 32" tire to the 37" tire I would need about 3.82 gears. Well they don't make that obviously so I can go on either side with 3.73 or 4.10. So not to completely destroy my fuel mileage I decided to go with the 3.73. I do not plan to try to max out any towing capabilities so I'll still be able to tow the trailer and race car no problem.

SFWD,
I gotcha. At first I was thinking about leveling but now I think will go with at least 4 inch lift. I love that look. I don't tow anything heavy, just a 8x10 trailer with my Polaris Ranger on it. I have already considered going with 4.10's on my set up now based on the way my truck tows that trailer. I wish my 5.0 had twins on it. That would make towing a breeze. I will have to do some research. Thanks for the response. And again, that is a BAD***** truck man.
Sorry everyone. I wasn't trying to side track the thread. Keep the pics coming. I am getting great ideas.

Got mine a week ago. 2wd 5.0 XLT. Loving it so far. After looking at some of the other builds here I am making a list of mods I want to do and will have to prioritize... unless I win the lottery!
