Default Blaydes' 2013 Ruby Red XLT SCREW Build

Here we go. I bought the truck used off of the lot less than a year old. It's a Ruby Red 2013 SuperCrew XLT with Tow and Offroad packages. It was bought with 14,000 miles on it and it's currently sitting at 19,014.

Quick run down of what I've done to it so far.
- Livewire SCT Programmer with 5* 93 octane Economy and Performance tunes.
- Roush CAI
- Flowmaster Exhaust
- WeatherTech Floor Mats
- Built a Custom Underseat Storage unit
- AVC Seamless VentVisors
- AVC Low Profile Hood Protector
- BDS Fox Racing 6" Lift with Front Coil-overs
- 20" x 9" Fuel Krank Chrome Wheels
- 35" x 12.5" R20 ProComp A/T Xtreme II
- Rear Seat Pull Down Cable
- DeeZee Tailgate Assist
- Added blacked out front turn signals to my mirrors
- Blacked out my rear turn signals on my mirrors

On the way:
- BakFlip G2 Tonneau Cover

To Do:
- One Up Offroad Traction Bars
- 10" JL Audio Sub with JL Audio Amp

The to do list is by no means complete. I'll keep plugging away at it and add photos as I go.

Sweet truck man, I'm definitely going to be watching because pretty soon I'm buying a 2013 XLT SCREW and intend on getting pretty similar to yours! I do have one question, how much was the 6" lift? I'd like to get a 4" probably.

The 6" BDS Pro Lift was $3600 installed from Get Ugly Customs in Radford, NC. It would've been $3700 with alignment, but I have lifetime alignment through Firestone (great life decision if you off-road). The mechanic, Tank, is awesome.

I got quotes from 3 other shops that the kit was $3400 before labor and right around $4300-$4600 installed. If you're in the Raleigh/Fayetteville area you should definitely give Gina a call. They can trailer your truck if necessary, you'll just have to pay gas/labor.

This last two weeks I switched out the head and tail lights for the darker Raptor heads and tails. I replaced the stock Sylvania head and fog lights with Philip 4000k lights and changed the backup lights to Philips LED. They're awesome. I also changed all interior lights to Philips LEDs as well as the license plate lights. It's looking pretty good.

The Bakflip G2 should be here on Tuesday. Can't wait.

Thanks for all of the compliments. Suggestions are always welcome.

Big things to come are OUO traction bars, Bestop power running boards, and some sort of leather seats. Probably either Katskinz or Clazzio. I'm still up in the air. If anyone has a recommendation on a new 3rd brake light to match the Raptor heads and tails I'm all ears.

I took the truck out to a drop zone to go jump with some Dutch paratroopers on Saturday and got a chance to really push it in 4x4. It was raining and the whole area was soup. I wanted best the traffic and get some good parking, so I came in off-road through the woods and some open fields. I'm pretty sure that the mud was up to the axle at more than one point. I wish I would have taken some photos. It was epic.

Get your front windows tinted to match the rears! Also, I think your truck would look awesome with some bushwacker fender flares!

The truck goes in next weekend for tint

I'm definitely getting fender flares. I'm pretty sure that I want the bushwacker extend-a-fenders color matched to my truck. Lund and some other companies are making good stuff though. There's a set of the bolt on look flares on Craigslist right now, but I'm not sold on the fake bolts. That's the really long way of saying that I'm still undecided on the exact type of flares I want. Lol.
