This is my first brand new truck from off the dealers lot! I have put countless hours researching and obsessing over this truck.
The only real flaw that I have discovered is that the engine has a rattle sound under certain circumstances... Ford refuses to fix the issue so I decided to name my truck "Rattlesnake," plus I'm from Arizona and have had my fair share of run-ins with diamondback rattlers so I figure its a nice tribute.

2018 F-150. XLT. 5L V8. FX4. Stone Gray. Super Cab.


I bought the new truck!

Leveled the truck with 2" Tuff Country spacers.


Removed FX4 sticker

I wanted the Special Edition Grille but Ford doesn't make the Special Edition truck in Stone Gray, so I had to order the grille and have it painted to match my truck.


I did a quick photoshop of the grille on my truck before I pulled the trigger on ordering one.


The actual Grille installed on my truck.

I am not really a fan of running boards or nerf bars, so it took me almost a year to find something that I liked. It turns out that the Raptor running boards were the best looking ones in my opinion, so that's what I went with.

As for the wheels and tires I went with the Method Grid wheels wrapped with BF Goodrich tires.

Raptor Running Boards

Quick Photoshop of the wheels on my truck so I could get a visual before I actually bought them (I did this with about 5 different wheels).

Leveled, decal delete, SE Grille, wheels, tires, running boards.

No build is complete without upgrading the lights. I put in LED lighting for my: Reverse Lights, 3rd Brake Light, High Beam, Low Beam, and Fog Lights.

I hardwired in a dashcam as well. I went with the Blackvue 900 2-channel.

I am also going to replace all the badges on the truck (Front and Rear Ford Ovals, and the fender badges). I would just remove the fender badges all together, but the panel has holes behind the badge.
The ovals will be replaced with a billet aluminum brushed carbon black and a color match to my truck.
The fender badges will be replaced with billet aluminum "F150 RATTLESNAKE"

My initial brainstorming

my physical rendering to get an idea on size and spacing.

Rendering from Billet Badges. The gray areas will be color matched to my truck.

A few other small things I've done:

Antennax 15" Antenna
Built Right Industries Back Seat Lever
LineX Spray-In Bed Liner
10" Subwoofer
Amplifier
Auto Stop Eliminator
Covercraft Dashmat

On the Way:
Badges (Ford Ovals and Fender Badges)
Chief Machining 94mm Wheel Center Caps (To replace the horrible center caps that come with the Method Wheels)

Trucks looking nice. I’ve been looking for a rear camera for my truck, can that one run independently or does it have to be synced to the front dash camera as well?

Roofis

The Blackvue 900 rear camera is connected only through the front camera, so it cannot be used independently.
If you're interested in dash cams I'd recommend checking out the YouTube channel: Vortex Radar. Watch the videos on the Dash Cam Playlist.
That might help get you pointed in the right direction on choosing what cam will work best for you application.
