Truck is 2016 Sport with the Limited/Special edition package. With black/red interior, bigger wheels, etc.
It's all cool - looking forward to seeing your build progress

Just ordered a SCT and Livernois tuner's, going to get 93 Octane tune running in it ASAP. Then going to pretty much max out the bolt on mods.

Not sure if that drop shackle I ordered is going to level it out the way I want or not I may go with full belltech or crown suspension lowering kit. I just can't go too low because I do live in the country.

Got an appointment with my buddy to get the windows tinted tomorrow.

I messaged a mod and hopefully he will clear up the situation with the title

Well a white Special Edition I can appreciate! Thanks for your service!

If that is the Ground Force/Ford Performance kit (they are the same), you will get right between a 1.5" and 2" drop (I have the kit on my STX). Best part is not cutting the bed cross-member support.

Yes, I am going to be trying Livernois, MPT, and Unleashed so far.

Livernois has their own tuner and software, the others will be using SCT Tuner.

Yes, Ground Force I am not looking for anything drastic, just looking to level out the back and remove some of the rake. I will not be using this truck for any sort of towing.

Parts on Order:
  • Stainless Downpipes with Hi-Flo cats
  • 1-2" Lowering Shackle
  • SCT and Livernois Tuners
  • Magnaflow Muffler


What I got done so far:
  • K&N Cold Air
  • Replaced 188 tstat for cooler 160 degree
  • Replaced/Gapped all plugs
  • 20% Tint on front/rear doors with 5% strip on front and rear glass
  • Swapped out fluids for what I like to run
  • Truxedo tonneau LoPro cover on bed
Will get some pictures posted of the truck/tint/tonneau once I am able to get it cleaned up currently has snow/salt all over it. Also excited to start adding some more bolt-ons and getting it tuned correctly. Also, looking into changing charge pipes and intercooler but not sure which direction I want to go, if anybody has some advice on this I would happily accept it.


No I just have to play the waiting game for a few days until I have some stuff to tinker with.

I decided to go with a Magnaflow part #12289 Center/Offset 3/3 Muffler because I don't want alot of sound just looking for that pure free flow performance. I am trying to avoid any drone as much as possible. On the downpipes I went with American Racing tubes with high flow race cats. They both going to get here shortly after the holiday.

My SCT tuner showed up today and I am browsing around at which SCT tuning shops to try, no sign of the Livernois tuner yet.

I can hold up to 10 tunes on the SCT so I guess it is time to go shopping for some 93 Octane tunes.

Got 20% Tent done on both sides and swapped a stubby antenna on.

5% Strip across the top on the front

AVS Vent-Visors on all 4 doors (like that they had lifetime warranty)

Truxedo Lo Pro cover on, fits really nicely.


A lot more to come just waiting on parts
