Stormhorns - 2013 F150

[Stormhorns]

Hello Everybody!

Long time lurker. I had a Jeep Cherokee awhile back that i was going to build, but a family member made an offer I couldn't refuse. So I kept a low profile soaking up as much info as I could. After dumping way to much money into the engine of my old diesel I wanted to build, I decided it was time for something different and more reliable. Now I finally have a rig that I can start building for what I want to do.

2013 F150 XLT Super Crew
4x4
3.55 Gears
5.0 V8
Factory Rear Locker
Just Under 27k Miles

Obligatory poser parking lot picture:



As part of the deal I had them swap the tires off of my old truck. So as of now i'm rolling on 275/70r18s Nitto Terra Grappler G2s.

Main Plans Include:
35in tires
Debating between 2in level or 4in Lift
Skid Plates and Rocker Armor
Winch
Bed Rack
RTT
Some sort of spare tire carrier (bumper or in bed)
Eventually be able to perform week long trips self sustained with wife and kids.

I'm sure that list will grow but that is the basics. I'm going to plan a trip to Moab this summer and get a better idea of everything I want to do. :sombrero:

Looking forward to the future.
Thanks for having me!

Finally got the truck in some dirt a couple weeks ago. Went to Bridgeport OHV Park near Decatur TX for a day trip. Had the family with me and we were alone most of the time, so I stuck to easy trails. Still gave me a chance to break the truck in a bit. Was driving most of the time, so didn't get many pics.



The only time I used the rear locker was when I got stuck in this hole. Some M/Ts probably would have gotten me through without the need to lock. But I still got out under my own power.



Could have pushed it a lot farther. Belly armor and rocker armor are high on the list now.
Leveled and 35s is the route I'm leaning towards now.

Gotta plan a camping trip now!
