Meant to start this in November of 21 when I bought the truck but guess it's not to late as I still have alot to do on the truck.
long story long I've had alot of ford performance vehicles over the years foxbodys, cobras, lightnings and gt500. I've done turbos, superchargers and nitrous and hated some and loved a few.
I was getting bored with a 07 gt500 I had so decided to sell and build this truck. So far very happy with it and it's really best of both worlds. Haul car parts and dump runs during the week and beat the crap out of it on weekend drags.

Any way took a minute to find this truck the way I wanted it. 18-20 xlt with low miles and the right price.

This is what I found 2200 miles away in Minnesota


2019 xlt fully loaded with 12k miles. Think it was 39ish out the door.

First thing I did was order a whipple stage 2, op gears, ihc 3/5 ride quality kit and a few other odds end from lethalperformance.com.

Lowering kit came in obviously way faster then the supercharger so it was off to fit wheels and tires

Decided on 22 inch black rhinos

Test fitting the wheel and everything fit good

305/40s on all for corners with no rubbing


It settled a little more in the front since then but next came paint

Had bumpers, mirrors and stx grill color matched


Not the best pic but you get the just of it

In March the supercharger showed up ahead schedule so engine tear down began.
I do my own work so a few hrs a night after work I would mess with it

I think that's about where I'm at with it. Im suppose to to buying new brakes for it this weekend and if everything goes as planned it will have 6 piston wilwoods on all for corners soon. Will keep this updated as I progress. I still have a few things planned for this truck. Shocks, suspension, fuel system e85 ect

WIL-140-13865-R-220-15263 (TX6R 6-Piston Front Big Brake Kit [red])WIL-140-13866-R-220-15276 (Superlite 6R Rear 6-Piston Big Brake Kit [red])

i havent seen them yet but will be here this weekend. I found them on Craigslist about 4 hrs away and a buddy of mine picked them up for me cause he lives near there.

I got a great deal on them also hellwig front & rear sway bars, center console a raptor steering wheel and acouple other pieces. All new except console

Only thing I've got to figure out is the rears are for manual parking brake and mines electric. I'll probably just convert it to manual parking brake on my truck

New parts came in





Gonna install the sway bars today and rear shocks

All great parts but the console swap might be my favorite.

Does that Raptor wheel have heat?
