It’s time to get this rolling. Thanks to @snakebitten for the name suggestion.

The last truck I went wild, this will be mild. The vision for this truck is simple bolt-on modifications that can be ‘easily’ removed and returned to stock. The plan here is longevity and simple mods for comfort or increased towing performance

The truck was ordered June 4 and arrived August 6. 2019 crew cab 6.5ft bed in Ruby Red. HDPP and max tow. As optioned as one could wish for while still maintaining HDPP









Plans are as follows:
Whipple Mega Cooler
S&B Intake
Icon Delta Joint UCA’s (maybe)
Bilstein 5100’s all the way around 1.25” setting
Morimoto XB Projector Fog Lights
Ford Performance Diff Cover (Spicer 10023539)
Line X Bedlined and Wheel Wells
Pro Z Premium Trifold Tonneau
Husky Weatherbeater Mats
Oedro Mud Flaps
Hood Hinge mounted Rigid D2’s
Ford OEM tailgate assist
3M Ceramic Tint 20% fronts and 50% windshield
AWE exhaust

How is the fit on the AMS intercooler? My CVF slid right in place but does not leave a lot of room. KM
Fits perfect. I apparently have the same radiator as the Raptor (guessing due to HDPP package) and had to do the upper intercooler modification required for it to fit. Also had to remove the shroud but all in all a perfect fit.

Thanks. I was thinking the OEM 2015 and up intercooler location. Had trouble figuring the install where my Titan just fit. KM
Wash wax rinse repeat. Not a whole lot to do anymore other than maintenance and keep it clean.

I’ll continue to expand on “Tastefully built” nature of the thread to show progress on the trailer.

Wall insulation and electrical is now complete on the 26f’er. I’m continuing to pull this in an out of storage while working the truck to ensure nothing long term pops up (still under BTB).

The trailer is going to pop off in the next few months and I hope to complete this year.

Was able to get the top of the trailer completely sealed and protected with Henry’s Tropicool 887. This stuff is pricey but if you have any type of trailer it’s definitely worth the investment for 15 years of protection.

Finally an ecoboost related post…for now..

FINE!! Take my money. Been debating on a 4” lift or staying with the leveling kit. Looks like this purchase just made up my mind. When is the icon 0-3” lift going on sale? Lol

Bumper is coming off the truck this afternoon. Preference is to keep the crash bars by reorientating them as other seem to have success doing in the past. Let’s go! Pics to follow (hopefully)

I think my friend that did a bumper on his 2017, just swapped them front to back.

I decided to remove them and swap left and right, then turn them upside down. I still have the directional turn away from the truck with this approach while at a different height allowing more clearance.

I ran out of daylight and energy to mount the wheels up.

Pretty happy so far. Getting some rub on the rear crash bar under tight circumstances. Other than that, EXTREMELY happy with this combo. For a 2.1” level and the stuffed look without unnecessary height (trailer towing) this is perfect.
Slightly larger stance and height than the Raptor wheels due to offset and tire differences.

Three stage wash and wax complete.

Took the truck to check the trailer. Really loving these Kenda tires so far. They grip exceptionally well and clean out significantly easier than my Ridge Grapplers which I loved. So far I would chose the Kenda if you asked me today. Time will tell

No phaser rattle out of that sweet HDPP Gen2?

Folks think they all do it. And they may eventually. But nobody knows if/when for sure.

Best truck I’ve ever owned. Tuned at 6k miles. Oil changes at or just before 4k, prime system before starting or after sitting from long vacations.

Never had a rattle to speak of, just a lot of smiles

9k+lbs of nothing to speak of from the drivers seat. Literally dream driving. Perfect stopping. Perfect power (other than ‘slower’ acceleration). This is why I bought the HDPP.

Towing on stock tune based on personal preference (forum influence)
