The companies that do make off road products for f series trucks are few and far between since f150's arent exactly a desirable 4x4 vehicle. And I've noticed that when I do find a company, the prices are usually incredibly high. Might be easier to find a shop that will make you sliders/bumpers/skids, etc.

And as far as the off road club, I have not heard of any but I am down to start one! Im down in San Diego and go to the desert and mountains frequently.

i may have to just get some custom made.. and if they are popular enough we can prob get more than 1 set made.

so i didnt find any socal f series offroad club so i started my own... if your interested here is a link: http://www.meetup.com/SoCal-F-Series-Off-Road-Explorers/

Ha, finally, an F150 thread! SDDiver5, I've noticed the same thing, expedition oriented gear for F150s is a lot harder to locate than the chrome accessories are. I've heard good things about RCI Metal works though.

Couple pictures of my rig in various iterations:

Thanks! It's still got a ways to go but I'm like 70% done up front. I need to figure something to fab for the rear; I can't find anything that fits the direction I want to take it for anything reasonable. Even reasonable would probably be too expensive with I make, come to think of it.

I just checked out your build thread, I dig it. The back platform turned out well; what kind of carpet did you go with?

your truck looks great.. and you live in my county!. if your interested in a socal F series offroad group i just started one a couple of weeks ago. And your right.. trying to find good quality (inexpensive) stuff for our trucks to make them trail worthy is very difficult... but im working on it :)
