tonhe's 2012 XLT SCrew Build
I bought my Blue Flame screw back in September of 2013, for the first few months I haven't done too much, but I have certainly been bit by the mod bug. The last month has been a frenzy of add-ons.
Not pictured
Here she is the day I bought her. Traded in my 2005 GMC Canyon for something a 6'9" big guy can actually be comfortable in!
First things first.. Plastidip for my badges...
I really love the blue flame paint, I had previously wanted something in grey/silver, but I'm beyond happy with the blue.
Recent additions start here. Some Raptor-eque grill lights.
Roush badge I purchased with my Roush catback... (Need photos of the exhaust still...)
I've also Plastdip'd the front grill to see if I like the look.
Not pictured
- Roush Catback
- SCT x4 Programmer with Tunes for Stage3 / 5 Star
- Airaid CAI (blue filter, looks epic)
- Lower grille "cover"
- 2.5" Leveling Kit
- OEM Raptor Wheels
- 315/70r17 Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx tires
- 2013 Black C-Clamp grille
- Paint/Powercoat bumpers black/or match
- Billet Ford badge for tailgate (mine is peeling already....)
- Suspension upgrades / 3" lift
- HID headlights / LED upgrades
- Window tinting
- Spray in bed liner
- Tonneau cover
- Boss 302 intake? (after warranty expires... )
- I'm probably missing 100 things...

Just ordered a Peragon cover, and I'm planning on scheduling a LineX install for Saturday! Woot!!
I took my oem bedliner out tonight, looks like I need different bolts for the tailgate cover... What a **** design!

Ended up canceling my Peragon cover.... I had concerns regarding the design, and some users complaints over those same things kept eating at me. I didn't want to drill holes in my truck to just return the thing later on...
A friend of mine almost talked me into the Retrax cover, but I ended up ordering an Undercover Flex, it'll be here Tuesday.
My LineX install went great over the weekend. I also installed the Deezee tailgate assist which my wife loves!
Other than the Tonneau, I have the pop and lock power lock kit and the OEM ford bed extender showing up... Lots of focus on the bed this week!
As an update, here is a list that will be current at the end of the week, barring no complications.
I really want to add the rear tow hooks that I've seen people talking about. I also really want to get the windows tinted soon. After that, the only things I really want to do are adding OEM black HIDs, and taillights, paint / linex the bumpers, and upgrade the sound system. Maybe purchase the OEM "My Ford Touch" package, and even get a backup camera! I've seen some pull offs on ebay for the smaller screen... maybe I can find the larger system too!?
Oh, and here is a pic of my bed, post LineX of course...
