Old beast vs newer younger beast. Pretty amazing change over 39 years. I love em both.

 

We are new to this forum, but not to F-150s. Here's a few pictures of our 2015 F-150 build for the 2016 SEMA show. The 2nd Gen Raptor hadn't been released yet, so we started off with a 2015 F-150 XLT 5.0 in Tuxedo black. Added a ton of parts to make it more fun off-road, and on-road. Here's what we added with the help of our industry partners:



Stage II Intercooled Procharger (D1 headunit w/straight cut gears)
SCT Livewire tuner
Magnaflow exhaust
Baja Kits Mid-travel kit w/custom valved King Coilovers
Method Race Wheels 501 true Beadlocks
Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ Claws 35/12.5/17
Deaver upgraded leaf springs
Retroshop custom painted OEM LED headlights with Diode Dynamics RGBW DRL LED Board replacements
Diode Diode SS18 Light bar / various LED bulb upgrades
Custom painted front grille, bumpers, 3D printed fender badges, tow hooks. by Elite Customs here in St. Louis
Vinyl Images installed our Charcoal Matte Metallic wrap (Avery Dennison vinyl)
Bushwacker Fender Flares

(Installations by Craven Performance)







Absolutely love this truck, it's probably my favorite build thus far!

Welcome to the forum, Diode Dynamics! Sweet pickup you guys built.

 

Do you have a build thread or article to link to?

 

Thanks guys! It was such a fun project. I hadn't personally built a truck prior to our F-150, so I definitely learned a lot along the way.

I haven't posted a build thread for our truck yet, but I'm hoping we will make an overview video for our F-150 sometime this year. We also need to re-upload a lot of our images to our image server, which got a bit jumbled up when we launched our new site late last year.

The truck is an absolute beast off-road, and it sounds pretty awesome thanks to the ProCharger.

3 weeks old, 998 miles and someone ran into the rear quarter twisting the rear end driving the drive shaft into the trans which is now leaking fluid. so its now back at the dealer

 

sweet55, Man that sucks, I hope it gets straightened out allright. Did they just mainly catch body and axle or did they get the frame too?

 

Fuel Hydro 20x9 +1mm wrapped in Fuel Gripper 305/55

 

Nice looking tars. Like the wheels too.

 

Good looking truck you have there and that`s my favorite grill on the 2018 model.

Sorry to hear about your mishap but hopefully the dealer can get you back on the road soon.

Have a great day.

 

Not mine and don't even know if i can post this pic here. just thought it looks awesome and wanted to share. if not allowed please remove.

 

I like the grill just don't want the stripwes down the sides!!!

 

Just leased this 2018 Lariat last week. Hope I got a good deal. My lease is for 39 months with 16,500 miles per year and my payment is $641 out the door after all taxes and putting $2500.00 down.

 

Sounds like an excellent deal, for a lease.
