It's not ideal and it will get better once I can get my shifting points figured out.
I also have a heavy foot because the 5.0 sounds fantastic. So, there's that.

Hey everyone, been pretty quiet on here the past few months. No real updates on the truck. Been busy moving and using the truck as trucks are meant to be used. Lumber runs, dump runs, loading it with a yard of gravel, towing my enclosed trailer, etc. A new house means tons of work and fun.
I’ve also been prepping for the arrival of the newest Ford fan. Baby girl is due in about a month so I imagine things will be even slower regarding any mods to the truck or any awesome camping trips.
We got the car seat recently so took some time today to clean out all the leftover moving and renovation crap from my back seat of my truck and got it ready for the back seat resident.
Also took the time to reorganize all the the miscellaneous stuff we tent to keep in our trucks. And yes, there’s a lid and it is secured into position.
Coming soon to a Ford truck near you.
Times certainly are changing for me and my wife. Our traveling and doing whatever whenever lifestyle will be changing for the next awesome chapter of our lives and I can’t wait.
I’m also excited to get this little princess and all the rugrats after her hooked on camping, off-roading and heading to Baja.

Hey guys! Long time no post. Been quite the 2nd half of the year. Our Baby girl surprised us a few weeks early so that threw a wrench in our plans but she’s healthy and happy. Being a dad is pretty awesome!
Few things have been added to Walter white since I last posted. I got a RTT from a fellow F150 enthusiast and it’s a total game changer. It’s an MIA Overland tent. Hadn’t heard of them before but the guy I bought it from got it from the manufacturer and it was a floor model. He sold his truck shortly after and hadn’t slept in it so I basically got a brand new RTT for a great price.
I upgraded my fog lights to the diode dynamic housing replacement kit and wow what a difference. I got the amber color because of all the harsh weather we have here in San Diego and if you’re an overlander you need SOME amber somewhere, right?
Up next came a GMRS radio from Midland. I got the MXT275 and it’s a sexy little unit. All the controls and mic are on the mic and the Control box is small that it fit right inside the console and blends right in. Been used on a few trips, works very well and it is compatible with midland walkie talkies.
I bought myself some Baja Designs XL pros along with a aux beam switch panel for power them. Have not installed either of them yet but plan to for the future. I might return the XL lights and go with the squadron pros since they’re smaller and attract less attention but still undecided.
Lastly, I took off all the STX decals and it looks so much better without them. Did a nice full inside and out detail when I removed the decals and it’s been nice having a clean truck.
I’ve been on a few overnight trips to Anza Borrego with groups, my brother and did one solo trip which was quite lovely. Also did an elk hunt in AZ which didn’t yield any meat but we shot some dove and some ducks and I spent 4 quality days with my very good friend and college roommate by a campfire.
Life is good.
Pics coming!

The beam pattern is their "SAE Fog/Wide" pattern. The are adjustable up/down. I them angled down in the pic but have since angled them up a little more and it throws out a ton of light. Really lights up the far driver and pass sides. I went on a road trip with my wife and baby girl to palm springs for a getaway and we got in at night and they were really bright in the dark desert and we only found our room number because of them lol. Love them so far and I like the look of them too.

Looks fantastic with the stickers removed. I've considered doing it many times, and I still cant bring myself to actually do it.
