    ^ This. I have the XLT with 302A (remote start, heated seats, power rear slider, etc). The Sport package has the center shift.

    My 2WD F150 adventures

    Yeah, that is TIGHT for your setup. Some pucker moments to be sure. I'm just south of STL and have been wanting to explore Shawnee a bit this year. Any tips/advice would be appreciated.

    Latest quick project — adding "on board water" to the Decked system in my bed. I flush-mounted a D&W Spray Port that's meant for RVs. The "ammo can" of the Decked system has a perfect space for all of the connections (water and electrical) and to mount the pump. For the pump, I used a simple...

    Yup, I use that. There's a small one under the front cup holder as well.

    New Raptor takeoff running boards now on the F-150. All it takes is 10 minutes and a 10mm socket. You can re-use the factory brackets and hardware, optionally adding extra M6 screws. I was looking at Go Rhino, but @Rovertrader gave me the tip on these.

    The full sized mid-size, my 2014 F150 "Fiddy"

    Been considering these for sure. Maybe I totally missed it on their site, but do you know the weight difference between steel and aluminum for the full kit?

    2017 F-150 Family Camping + Hunting Build

    I have been looking for a way to add multiple accessory switches (rocker or push-button) to my truck that was clean, easy to use, easy to install, and ideally inexpensive and required minimal cutting/modification to the truck. I think I finally came up with an ideal solution. No permanent...

    Working on future power/accessory needs. Made this panel today, with room for relays on the underside, which will ride just above the stock fuse box.

    DIY drawers would be a cool project, but without a camper shell to protect it all from the elements, the materials needed to build a weather-proof solution aren't affordable, readily available, or within my capabilities to build with. I've been really happy with the Decked system. I will be...

    Yes, Sport mode was hit or miss for me. It was great when you just wanted to get on it for bursts, but sometimes the gear-holding and down-shifts were to aggressive for everyday driving. This is my first foray into the tuning world. I did a LOT of research and reading, and Ken form OZ was...

    2017 F-150 Family Camping + Hunting Build

    Been a busy summer/fall and finally getting back to the forums here. Have some upgrades in-progress for the truck, which I'll be documenting here. In completely stock configuration and with, I got 18.4mpg running 68-72mph on the 300-mile trip home from the dealership where I bought the truck...

    2017 F-150 Family Camping + Hunting Build

    Yeah, this is a new offering. There isn't too much info out there on them yet, but I am going to work on some photos/videos of the install, components, and the pros/cons from my perspective. Overall, I am really happy I went with this setup. I was considering some other rack systems (Leitner...
