Why not order the truck with all those options?

I could have if I was looking for one. This was 100% impulse buy lmao. My wife wanted to take my 2011 f150 lariat to work so I was stuck with her fusion. Well needless to say I was out and stopped at a red light in front of my dealer and looked over and seen it and fell in love. Whipped in and traded the wife's fusion. She was not the most pleasant woman when she got home and seen it hahahaha.

This is my '23 STX in Hot Pepper Red. So far I have done trailer brake controller, bed lights, changed front emblem to a black tremor one with camera and washer, 12" radio swap, and just added keypad. This is just the start lol. I plan on doing mirrors and add the 360 cams, cluster swap, get it lowered with wheels, and change out heads, tails, and fogs. It's been fun learning these new trucks and keeping me busy on weekends doing things while I am on the road. Some pics of the progress.

Your truck looks awesome, what method did you use to lower your truck? Just shackles, flip kit....?

Your ride is sweet, I have a 2022 STX Supercrew Carbonized Gray. I thinking about doing the power fold mirrors first. I've added the tailgate and cab spoiler from Ford. All exterior door handles are color matched.

Your paint work is fire! Can you give me details on your tailgate handle, what part didn’t get paint?

I'll post the part numbers for the tailgate handle and door handles tonight. I have all the old parts in the boxes.

I ordered all the parts from my local dealership oem parts using your vin#. New door handles and tailgate handle. My painter smoothed them and painted to match. The swap is really simple, no door panel removal.

I know man I painted mine almost exactly like yours!! I did it myself so the mirror caps and tailgate handle are not quite up to par!

How did you get the front camera to work? I thought there was not an extra plug on the module unless you have the 360 camera from the factory?

My Lariat doesn't have the front camera or sensors so this would be a great add.

Beautiful build!!!!

Man, that's why I leave it to the pros, I'm too OCD. I like it to be perfect and look like it came that way. I did a little carbon fiber on the interior, just a accent here and there.

Thanks man yours is killer as well. I've been thinking about the cab spoiler. I bought new handles but they were the wrong color. Waiting if the guy is gonna do me right and swap em out or if I should just have them repainted the correct color. I'm on the fence with the power fold, I have it on my other truck and rarely use it.

It's not working at the moment just prepped for the next step. I will be adding the mirrors with cameras soon and then complete all the necessary wiring for the 360. I'm on the fence if I want to add the bed camera. That's a bit of work from what it looks like but not so much I wouldn't take it on. I'm looking at a new take off bumper that has the sensor holes in it as well
