I've been gone from this site for a LONG time. Some may remember me, other will not. I've always had F150's, but back in 2011 I bought a huge 40' camper & went to a Super Duty. I had a 2011, 2013, and a 2015. LOVED the F350(I may miss them and go back), but I sold the camper, bought a lake cabin so I don't NEED the F350 any more. So, I came back to the F150 when the 2015's came out. I'm not one to do things half way, so I tossed the kitchen sink at a new 2015 F150 Platinum. Here are some pictures of what I have so far......

6" Fabtech Lift
XD Beast 20" wheels
35x12x20 Toyo Open Country RT tires
Retrax Pro MX bed cover
Bed Rug
Fab Four front & rear bumpers
20" front Ridged light bar in the front
2) 4" Ridged spot light on the front
2) 4" Ridged flood lights on the front
2) 6" Ridged back up lights on the rear
Ford Lariat Sport Grill(Gray to match the truck)
Ford Lariat Sport mirror covers
Blacked out Ford grill badge
Blacked out F150 Platinum fender badge
Removed the FX4 decal on the rear quarter panel

List of to do's---

Figure out which programmer to go with
AFE Intake
Flow Master Duel Exhaust(side exit in front of right rear tire)
Black out rear tailgate chrome panel
Black out Door handles
wire in all the lights
figure out a decal/wrap...I have a lot of idea's, just gotta get it over to the shop to discuss options
buy my pissed off wife something so she'll shut up about the truck

Up, up, and Away!!!

 

Very nice!

 

Looking good!

 

Looks great man! I say yes on blacking out the door handles.

 

Dooooooope. Great build!

 

Very cool build, it looks awesome!

 

Thanks guys. It's been a fun build.

I'm sending pictures over to the detail shop today with some idea's on a decal/wrap.

 

Deep pockets, must be nice.

 

Geez - you are not playing around! Looks great!

 

It is setups like these that made me want to get a truck.

SummitMan, dare I ask what you think the MPG delta is between stock and your current setup with wheels + lift + extra weight?

 

I have no idea. The gauge tells me I'm doing about 12.3 at 75mph(I only have 300 miles on it so far). I guess I didn't put anything on this truck to increase mileage & I knew that. Kind of hoping the exhaust, intake & chip will pull a few more MPG, put I'm not holding my breath.

 

Is the speedo corrected?

 

Where did you install the switches for your lights?

 

The speedo was corrected with a Hypertech speedo programmer.

I haven't had time to get back on the project the last couple weeks so I haven't hooked up the lights yet. My plan is to hook the 20" center bar to the OEM fog light switch, & I have KC rocker switches to hook up the spot & flood lights on the front. They will mount just below the 4x4 switch on the dash.

The rear back up lights will be hooked into the trailer light back up light wire. I'm hoping I can get that to work so I don't have to run a switch to the back ups. If I get a lot of complaints, I'll have to put them on a switch.
