The Black Beast

May 14th of 2012, I left the dealership with a 2012 F150 XLT.  The truck is Tuxedo Black Metallic in 4WD with the chrome convenience package, offroad package and dealer installed leveling kit and 20" Chrome Ballistic Jesters wrapped in 34" Toyo Open Country M/Ts.


The day I brought that bad boy home.

I couldn't help myself, so the mods began.  As of today, the following has been done:
- 34" Toyo Open Country M/Ts (35x12.5r20 soon!)
- 20" Chrome Ballistic Jesters
- 2" Leveling Kit
- Black billet grille and black grille surround
- Powdercoated front and back bumpers to a near perfect match to the tuxedo black
- Black OEM style headlights with silver reflectors with LED side markers and switchback LED turn signals
- Smoked LED Tail Lights and 3rd Brake Light
- 8% tint on back windows/back glass and 7" brow, 16% tint over front windows.
- Airraid Cold Air Intake
- 4" Heartthrob Exhaust System
- Livernois Motorsports 93v2 Tune (new LMS 93 tunes soon!)
- 7" Pioneer AVH-P4400BH w/ PAC steering controls adapter and Sync retained
- Rockford Fosgate T1000-1bdCP amplifier pushing 2 Sundown SD-2 10" Subs

After all these mods, this is how the truck sits:


The subwoofer enclosure (sorry for the mess, I drive this truck for work, too!):


The truck has come a long way, and I'm very pleased with it.  The power is there when I need it, it is a very comfortable ride, and has convinced quite a few to make the jump to Ford. ;)

The mods will continue soon (cough cough 6" BDS lift cough cough).. but that's all for now!

Edit:  Few more pictures, and in no particular order!


At work one day!


In the rain.


Radio install (done by me).


No more ecoboost badges.


Woofer porn!  For as small as these are, they really make some noise.

Thanks everyone!  I had a very particular look in mind, and I think it went well.  I want to throw a little blue in the mix (calipers, center caps inserts, shock covers with lift, F150 badge lettering), but I'm still undecided.  What do you guys think?

Blue or silver would look good.  ;D

Silver wouldn't be bad, but it would fit in too well with the chrome, especially on the F150 badges.  I want to leave them chrome for now and just color the lettering.

Ah gotcha.  Blue would look good. You could get the illuminated Recon badges.

I really thought about it, but there's no blue and they're really expensive for what they do.  I did think about making some.  I know some of the emblems are 2 piece, so it would probably be really easy.

I'm almost positive that's what I'm going to go with.  I started getting some of the things I need for it.

Just waiting on the new Livernois tune to be uploaded for me, and I can make some fun passes! :)
