Default Back in an F150...I should probably show off.

Its been a while since I was active on the site. Sold my lifted 2010 fx4 and played around with a sports car for a while but with a pregnant wife, I decided we needed a more family friendly ride. Being the practical guy that I am, I went with just a plain jane used 2wd this time......a loaded out Fx2. Of course I couldn't have the wife pulling out a ladder every time she wanted to ride with me so I went ahead and put on a Belltech 3/4 drop which was inspired by Redrum5.0. Its handling waaaaay better now but I still need to get the rear swaybar. Heres a quick parking lot shot.

I agree, ditch the running boards and make a few bucks on them.


Welcome back. I did the same with my 2012, traded it for a 370z. Drove it for 6 months and realized it wasn't practical and bought me a 2014 f150.

Id take them off but the wife still needs them to get in and shes only 15 weeks. She'll probably be driving this when she gets super pregnant so they gotta stay....for now.


As far as plans, Ive got a few. Already tinted the front windows to match and put on the upper and lower black billet grilles. At this point Im looking to get the Kicker Soundstage, maybe an interior ambient light kit, thickest sway bar I can find for the rear, Bakflip G2, Diablosport tune and eventually some undecided 22' wheels. I probably wont get that far after the kid shows up but its a mad dash til then.


white_dc, nice trade. I had a Genesis Ultimate Coupe for a while that was a beast. The wife has a g37 sedan so I figured its not a total loss and I can always get another go fast toy when the time is right.

that would defeat the purpose

Anyway that is an awesome-looking truck. How long is the bed? Either it's a total illusion or it's the first Screw I've ever seen with a 6.5'.

That's a 5.5', though I don't know how you haven't seen a SCrew with a 6.5'. Just don't look at them hard enough maybe, though they are a bit less common than the 5.5'. My dad actually has a 6.5' XLT SCrew. It's one long F150 for sure, but much better proportioned than the SCab 8'!
