[Blown F-150]

Made the trip out east. 2999km's or 1,868 miles so far. Truck never missed a beat. Left Vancouver Wednesday @ noon. Stopped by to visit Grimm and then ended up in Ontario by Friday night. Stopped in Calgary and my Dad's in Manitoba for some sleep.

Man I love driving this thing.

Made it back home Monday night. Knocked out the return trip in a total of 34 hours, with 25 of them driving.

Truck did run odd at altitude, almost felt like major turbos lag. Not sure what caused it, but once I was back in Van, the truck was back to normal.

Either way, time for a new oil change and a tire rotation.

Couple of new additions during the trip, Raptor running boards and steering wheel installed. I have a GrillCraft Grill to install and then I'll post up some pics.

I enjoy the drive, but this trip was more rushed than I would like. Next time, I'll just grab a flight.

GrillCraft grill installed tonight. I'll post up some pics tomorrow, very happy with the look. Simple and cleans it up a bunch.

Some pics of the boards, Grill and steering wheel. I'm really diggin' the grill and getting to see more of the CAC.

I broke the bug shield removing it, so I'll have to grab a new one tomorrow.

The "things to do" list is certainly getting smaller. Other than deciding on building a motor...
- Fox 2.0's on the front
- DP's
- Hot-side CAC piping.
- Get the PTM fender flares painted and installed that are sitting in storage

Put the bug shield back on. I didn't think it would grow on me, but seemed odd without it.

I usually don't like aftermarket grills on our trucks. But I gotta say I am liking the looks of yours!

I think the grille would look better if you put the Ford back in the center of it. Kinda looks too bare imo.

Yup, thinking the same. It's going to take some time, but the plan is to get a "stick on" Super Duty emblem, customer paint it and put it on.

I like a "clean" look, but this looks too much like a sea of mesh.

Still pretty happy with it. It doesn't show in the pics, but you can really see the CAC.

It does look better in person. Camera puts a bit of a "fish eye lens" look on it.

Off topic...It looks like you have a 3 foot long driveway. How you getting all that work done? Ha ha. Even with my 3 car wide normal length driveway it's barley enough room sometimes for me.

 

[Blown F-150]

Expect for washing the truck, which is done where it sits in the pics, all work is done in the garage. The driveway is absolutely useless and steep.

I have to kick out the wife's vehicle, but it works. I just need to finish up whatever I'm doing so the garage door can be closed. The rear of the truck has to pretty much touch the back of the wall to be able to close the door.

Not a shop by any means, but it's better than the open lot I installed a supercharger in, lol.

Small upgrade, but actually one that put's a smile on my face every time I open the door. Northlight Labs Door Detent 3.0.

Door Detent 3.0 by northlight labs | Now F-150 Doors Open Just Right

You can see the extra notch in the top one.

Now my door stops before getting to the wife's car door in the garage!

Stage 3 has FR DP's on sale. Reached out to FR directly to see if they will price match. Hoping to have a set ordered up by tomorrow.

 

[Blown F-150]

Full Race down pipes ordered. Added the ceramic coating and hope to see them in the next 3 weeks!

I'll get these on and hopefully Dyno-tuned and call it a day performance wise. Only other thing I really want to do is put hard-pipes on, but they can wait.

Only other bigger upgrade I would like to do is to get fox coil-overs on the front. The rest is just small cosmetic stuff.

Full Race DP's will be here Thursday. May take Friday off, just so I can install them.

Pretty much gonna run them for a little while and then when work calms down. Then, I'll put it all back to stock and take it in to see if they will do the transmission.

 

[Blown F-150]

Downpipes arrived! I will try to get some pics up shortly.

They don't mess around with the packing peanuts!

They did an awesome job on the coating. Really hoping to get these installed tomorrow or this weekend!

 

[RedRooster]

No Shzt....they cut down a peanut forest to pack mine....they do a fantastic job packing and wrapping each pipe. Waiting to get mine back from ceramic coating I am putting all new O2 sensors on as well. Have 100,000 miles so it is time. Still work but will not be as efficient/reliable as new ones. Have everything pulled apart best time to do it. Why wouldn't you want a new tune to use the best input from new sensors? I just dumped a bunch of money on DPs and new Cat Back and then cheap out on using old crap in the system? Not for me!
