The thing I can respect the most is doing all the installation work yourself. I know how tough it can be and you’ve done so much. Truck looks great! Definitely worth the money put into it! 👍🏼
The katzkins are my favorite mod that I’ve done to my F150. Black with stone stitching and perforated inserts. Great video by the way, now I’m gonna spend more money!! Thanks.
The beauty of a Ford truck and a disposable income.... I ordered an Atlas Blue Metallic 2022 F150 XL 5.0L 4x4 8' bed - black door handles, bumpers etc.(no chrome) 101A power pkg, max tow/payload(upgraded wheels), elec 3.73 diff, 36 gal fuel tank, skid plates, 40/20/40 cloth seats, vinyl floor, workstation center console, front bumper Baja Designs flood/drive pocket lights & reverse lights, black heavy duty tow bumper, rear wheel well covers, heavy duty Ford rubber splash guards($400!), Yakima HD Overland adj racks, spray in bed liner and the SPD axle dump 304 stainless tucked exhaust with type 2 resonator - all in for 50k plus mods around 5k total. Next year will be a Roush cold air intake. You spend your money how you want to and I did it my way out here in Oregon - hopefully this aspect of American life never gives way to the Green Nazi's of Killjoy.
@@TheCarCrazyGuy I should go back and look for your other vids if you noted your issues - I hope it wasn't a long list. My truck goes into production this week. With few if any bells or whistles I figured along with the 5.0 I should have a very reliable truck..... I read very very few complaints when doing my research so now Im curious as to your experience. This also begs the question now, is a new ZO6 is in your future? haha
First thing I bought was a reg cab short bed v8. 2nd was a super charger. I was still bored so I bought a new house. Few months later I bought another house. Still on lock down in Pearl Harbor.
Pretty darn awesome. Just bought my very first truck a few weeks ago and it’s the exact same color like yours too. Thinking of doing some mods to starting with a leveling kit.
Just installed the husky wheel liners and mud flaps on my 2020 stx. Considering what they charge for these trucks, things like wheel liners should come standard.
How do you like the husky liners? How are the ford liners? I want to get them but want to lift my 2020 stx fx4 and feel they would be in the way of the lift process.
@@dannym3879 I like them, they will keep mud/rocks out of the wheel wells, I'm not doing a lot of off roading, I just liked the look of it. They are molded to fit, so if you're going to get a beefier suspension on the rear, they might not fit.
So glad I wouldn't settle for anything less the a lariat 502a package and fx4 ! Not a knock on what you did but sounds like you have alot more time then I do !
Stan van gundy knows about Ford trucks. You mention you wanted a sunroof. I can install that with you with my sawzall and provide gorilla glue and perforated holes for air as wel.
@@TheCarCrazyGuysome people rather buy cheap shit and pay twice to replace it once it goes through some wear and tear. He doesn't understand that some people rather buy new things and get quality parts with warranty instead of looking for the same quality part that might be a couple hundred bucks cheaper because it's used or it's some knock off ching chang chong shit.
Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. I enjoyed doing a lot of mods to my fx4, sold it and bought a Raptor, started modding all over again, it’s like a disease. Lol Your truck looks good.
Real talk, and in my opinion you did a great job. I’ve only done a few exterior modifications to my 2022 F150 XL and I’ve already exceeded $7k. Great video btw.
What will you do when your tires need to be replaced? Do you plan on just buying 5 tires every time? What if those tires are not available in a couple of years? Nice Truck 4 sure.
Very nice. I would not lose 10% driving it off the lot only to throw another 10% at it. For a long term vehicle and it’s what you like it is very nice. I would suggest the black plastic inserts fir the f-150 stamp on the rear tailgate. I put this on mine and it “pops” if you know what I mean! Matt black and it raises out a little, way better than a sticker. Wishing you many happy miles!
How did you get the the hook that lowers down with the spare tire to fit through the tiny hole of that rim? I’ve always wanted to have a matching spare wheel & tire but I didn’t think I could make it work under there.
Some upgrades I like, some I don’t find them to be worth the money. But the important thing is that YOU like it and enjoy driving it around. I put a 6” lift on mine with 35x20s and I love the truck. Best part is...you have the title on all three. Now that’s the impressive! Congrats.
These are the ones I have, or should I say I used to have. Sold the truck a few years ago. www.headlightrevolution.com/ford-f150-xb-led-headlights-B-LF501_2?quantity=1
Rear tailgate is a 100% match. I carefully broke off the plastic tabs then used fishing line to slice through the adhesive tape. Since my truck was an XLT I removed the existing front badge by removing the upper radiator cover, then the latch. I used a long extension and socket to remove the nuts. One thing that I had to do before starting the project was to start the truck to allow the grill slats to open and then unplug the connector when it was fully opened. On the new emblem I had to break off all the tabs and just use the two face adhesive to stick it into the grill. You only have one shot so stick it on perfectly otherwise you’ll have to pull it off and cut new tape to remount it.
You overpaid for the f150 badges, I paid like $18 on amazon lol they're perfect too. I did the Katzkin leather perforated black seats front and back and they came out amazing, did them myself in 2 days. If you say you did all the stuff you listed to your truck yourself I'm positive you could do the seats yourself. Buy the katzkin seat covers on ebay they have a million options to choose from like you said.
I purchased OEM badges for quality. I returned my truck back to stock. I sold the truck in January. I purchased a 2021 F150 Limited Powerboost 4x4. See my latest video.
Looks nice. I have one, just like yours , but has everything I need and more. I wouldn’t have spent that much more on an already $50,000 dollar investment. You enjoy it, that’s what matters.
Hello, did installing the instrument cluster void the warranty. Ford seems to be very serious about brining a Ford to the shop with that type of upgrade. Also did the company that you bought the cluster from input the mileage for you? Any forscan issues? Thanks
Great looking truck! Lose the dash mat. No offense never seen those looks like you stuck your rug up there. I recommend wider offset tires like the raptor. Smaller rim bigger tires and you can get some with rims all the way around under 1k from discount tires Don’t lift it. But man it looks great! I bought these eBay special headlights by Vland. look alot like the Morimotos however we all know they have the best headlights. The Vlands were just under 500 For set and tail lights for cheap I paid 1200 for morimotos on my previous 2013 fx4 now I got a 2018 STX which is base steadily modding as well! Thanks for tips! Nice cars too!
Nice truck 💪🔥 it ads up fast I know im restoring a foxbody mustang I have 7 grand in it and still have not even started the body work yet lol beautiful vett by the way..
Bro you need to do a better job of purchasing on line. I bought the blacked out side emblems way cheaper than that and they were a perfect fit. Paid 45 for two.
These are OEM Ford badges, not the much less expensive aftermarket parts. I've seen people complaining about aftermarket knock offs. Paint coming off after awhile etc.
@@TheCarCrazyGuy I get the purchasing OEM and i have some of the same mods, mud flaps, dash cover, badges, wheel liners etc, some i purchased OEM but some are aftermarket with great quality. I have had the blacked out badges for a while and still look new with no problems. I see your other vehicles so cash isnt a problem. Not hating as your truck looks great. Im just a little tighter with my budget.
Fork out a little extra for some wild peak at/3’s or Toyo open country at3’s. the hankooks are alright, horrible in wet weather and any type of terrain aside from road
Nice mods. Only thing I wonder is if you had gotten a truck from the dealer with those items already or even ordered one fully spec’d if you could have saved money?
Love the mods that you have done… a little too much money for me but I will most definitely be looking at picking up some of these for my ‘18 XLT! Great work and again great video 👍
I don't understand why you wouldn't have just went with a 502A lariat and saved yourself all this headache. Money doesn't seem like that much of an issue and you really didn't save that much more with rebates.
How can you afford 700dollars for tail lights?seems a bit pricey for those.but hey if you can afford it go for it.truck looks nice ,are you doing ventvisors or hood shield?my f150 is a 2009 xlt and I recently got the avs low profile ventvisors and the avs hood shield. Your truck would look sleek with those bud. Keep truckin'.
I kind of did something better than that. I took my truck apart sold all the parts and sold the truck to Carvana for what I paid for it and purchased a 2021 F150 Limited Powerboost four-wheel-drive. Check out my video on it. Thanks for stopping by.
These are OEM parts and were way cheaper than the dealerships. I don’t like EBay/Amazon parts. They are fairly low quality. I don’t want a redo, especially when removing them were extremely difficult to begin with.

@@QueenCityBeerTube Great, thanks alot!
It looks great but no way in hell would I have spent that much. I had much rather just buy a higher term level track to start with.
I agree with @barrystephens900
For that price I would have done the sunroof, tonneau cover, LED light bulbs, and mud flaps. I probably would still have money left over.
Of course I didn’t do it all at once. I enjoyed doing these mods. It was super fun. It all adds up ⬆️. Thanks for stopping by.
@@TheCarCrazyGuy It definitely adds up. My wife was shocked how much the simple upgrades cost on my 2019 F-150.
How much would it be to add a sunroof
I bought my lariat and added some extras for way less than what you spent. Plus I have the double sunroof
Let me know when you’re ready to sell that truck. And thanks ahead of time for setting it up for me!
I sold it over 3 months ago. Check out my latest video to see what I purchased.
L
I have a 2021 f-150 that I would like to know how to go about putting a heated steering wheel on
How about some pointers Thanx
Not sure how I missed this upload when it came out. Regardless, the truck is looking good. As always I love your attention to detail.
Thanks Jon!
You shop around more like Ebay, I bought my OEM fender badges last month for $18 and yes time consuming to remove old ones.
So glad I wouldn't settle for anything less the a lariat 502a package and fx4 ! Not a knock on what you did but sounds like you have alot more time then I do !
If you look at my last videos you’ll see what I did. Check it out. I went several trim levels above the Lariat.
Why do you need a heated steering wheel in southern California?
Why not? We get cold winters here too.
Good looking truck man I love magnetic gray metallic and gotta love the ol’ Whelen sirens in the background lol
Thanks bud
What is the website where you got your painted mirror caps ?? Cant find them
The money will be forgotten but the joy lives on! Enjoy!!
Stan van gundy knows about Ford trucks. You mention you wanted a sunroof. I can install that with you with my sawzall and provide gorilla glue and perforated holes for air as wel.
Are you gonna replace your tire soon? 35s inches ?
I sold the truck
Holy shit did you shop around at all. Lmao. You over paid on every thing. Lol
I got everything at cost. Not some cheap knockoff Amazon garbage. Quality parts.
@@TheCarCrazyGuysome people rather buy cheap shit and pay twice to replace it once it goes through some wear and tear.

Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. I enjoyed doing a lot of mods to my fx4, sold it and bought a Raptor, started modding all over again, it’s like a disease. Lol Your truck looks good.
Amen
Have you considered putting black wheels on since that is your theme?
I restored it to stock and sold the truck. See my latest video on my new truck.
Where did you purchase emblems. The right emblems are hard to find 😫
I believe a Ford dealer online but I don’t remember which one. Everything‘s hard to get nowadays. Just thank Brandon for that.
Nice truck! I did a bunch of mods to my 2020 stx! I also live in Santa Clarita !
Hello neighbor!
You should get a job working on the F150 assembly line turning XL’s into Lariat’s
Real talk, and in my opinion you did a great job. I’ve only done a few exterior modifications to my 2022 F150 XL and I’ve already exceeded $7k. Great video btw.
What have you done I also have a XL
Nice man..you didn't hold back at all on the mods and it paid off...looks badass 💪🇺🇲
If someone hasnt mentioned, may be cool to either delete the FX4 or replace with a blackout version of the FX4...just to go with the whole theme 🙂
I sold the truck earlier this year and replaced it with a 21. Check out my latest video.

No issues. It was programmed by the seller with the VIN, mileage, engine hours and engine idle hours.
Why wouldn’t you get the truck you wanted instead of retrofit? Genuine question and not a troll question
Where did you get the cluster? Is that something that could possibly be installed into a 16 XLT?
Awesome video man!
Thank you. Much appreciated!
Do you plan on doing anything to the suspension, lift kit, or performance?
I sold the truck over two years ago.

What is the benefits of the dash carpet? Sorry but it seems so out of place with all the nice mods you have.
I live in an extremely hot climate. It will help prevent damage to the dash.
These dashes warp pretty bad.
I really wanna make a video on my 2015 f150 transformation...I completely changed the look within a matter of months! Nice truck BTW
You should do it. Thank you.
I have abyss grey just like yours. You got a nice truck
Truck looks great 👍.
Thanks Tim!
Looks like your rear tires are overinflated...
Did the dash need any extra programming to work?
No, the seller programmed the miles and it matched my truck. The truck sat until the cluster arrived.
U have a nice truck.
On real-estate you didn't do very well?
Relocating would be my suggestion.
Listening to it all day long, is the sound of potential life or death of another! You could have paused and re-started.
I like those wheel where did you get them
On the Facebook marketplace
Sick truck. Nice job
Thank you!
Can you share the links for the steering wheels mods?
Great video! It’s crazy how fast mods add up. Raptor/heated wheel is on my list of things to do.
