Default 2015 2.7 ExoBoost XLT

He's my baby...slowly but surely coming along.

This is the day she came home...



This is how she sits today in the driveway...dirty AF. Just a few minor upgrades, she's been de-badged (no more EcoBoost door badges & "Sport 4x4" decals), bull bar from Rough Country, 2.5" level from Rough country, gator trifold, and a side outlet exhaust from MPRB.








Wheels have been ordered from Custom Offsets, should see those next week and a raptor style grill is currently being painted Tuxedo Black to match. Also on order are some new headlights from Spyder with smoked lenses, and lastly I have a new matte black tail gate badge headed my way. Still on the hunt for matte black XLT badges for the fenders. (If anyone knows where I could pick some up that would be awesome!).

Anyways...there she is. I'll update as soon as the wheels get here!

And I got bored...not a fan of this look. Never used PlastiDip before and probably won't ever again. I ordered some new emblems and will be custom painting them, but here they are in all their plastiDip'ed glory for the time being anyways...

Looking good! How's the exhaust sound? Any power gains?

I'd be interested in your stock wheels if you're going to sell them. PM me if so.

Well, got the grill and "FORD" letters back from the paint shop yesterday afternoon. Plan was to get that installed today, but as is turns out I don't have the correct mounting hardware for the letters so I am waiting to install the grill till the letters are mounted on it. I'll post pics up of the install as I go.

Got the new wheels and tires on today! 305/55/R20. Looks good I think, nice wide aggressive stance without the wheels sticking out so far that they look stupid. I do have some slight rubbing when the wheels are at full tilt, but only in reverse, anyone ever hear of this?




Wheels & tires went on today!
