Talking MrChocolateBear's 2013 XLT Build

My brand new 2013 XLT on the lot, the night I took it home. My first Ford, my first truck, and my first new car. Super excited!



View from the front



A few days later (yesterday), I picked up a Weather Guard for a steal via craigslist. Definitely looking forward to filling this up with tools! :P

Thanks! I'm starting slow, but there there is definitely more to come, so stay tuned!

Just FYI, I'm currently looking for a decently priced (gently used) Ranch Hand to put on the front, so if anyone is in the DFW area and looking to sell one, let me know!

Last week I went ahead and got the standard mirrors upgraded to OEM tow mirrors. I also got an aftermarket backup camera and backup sensors installed to help with park jobs, since the 8.1ft bed can be a little hard to judge sometimes.

Would you mind going into a little detail about your experiences with them? I have only dropped my car off with them once so far, and the experience was good enough. I'm curious what I should prepare for.

What power option are you referring to? I can still power adjust the mirrors, they are just manual telescoping. Here's a link to the ones I have: http://accessories.ford.com/kit-rear...ror-10319.html
