Default 2013 F150 XLT Supercab Long Bed Build

I bought my 2013 F150 XLT Supercab 4x4 with a long bed, the heavy duty payload package, and max trailer tow package with about 45k miles in February 2017. Here it is the day I bought it.

Current mods:
- Line-X spray-in bedliner
- A.R.E. MX series topper with walk-in rear door and windoor side windows
- Halo Lifts BOSS 0-3" coilovers set at 2.75"
- Specialty Performance UCAs
- BOSS extended length rear shocks
- 3" rear tapered block (adding 1.75" of rear height - it replaces the stock 1.25" block)
- XD Series Rockstar 2 17x9" -12 offset all black wheels
- 285/75R17 Nitto Trail Grappler M/T.


Next up in my build, relatively in the order I'm thinking, is:
- LED headlights and LED foglights (ordered, will try to install in the next week)
- Raptor-style grille (ordered will try to install in the next couple weeks)
- Sleeping platform with drawer storage underneath (still working out the design details)
- RCI Metalworks complete skid plate set (will order and try to install in the next month or so)
- Color-matched Bushwacker pocket style fender flares (will order and try to install in the next month or so)
- Custom fabricated rear bumper with swing away tire carrier and jerry can holder (will order in the next month and have installed when ready)
- Custom fabricated, bed rail-mounted, over-topper and cab roof rack (will order in the next month and have installed when ready)
- Back-up camera (ordered and will install once new rear bumper has been installed)
- Rack-mounted awning (order/install TBD)
- Road shower (order/install TBD)
- 50" Rigid light and multiple, smaller, rack-mounted lights (order/install TBD)

I'll update this post with new pictures and mod information as I complete them.

Yeah, I bought custom drilled blanks from BB Wheels, and even then, the options were pretty slim. I don't know what Ford was thinking creating a unique, new bolt pattern just for the heavy duty payload package F150s. With that said, I wasn't sure about the wheels I got, but I'm really happy with the look.

Any updates? Looking into building my own platform in the bed of my truck, and I'm interested to see what you ended up doing.
