Ford F-150 FX4 2009-2014 MASSIVE MAKEOVER on a budget!

[@VGM-R]

Holy crap this truck is looking clean. Good job.

[@rockernro]

Thanks my man too bad I got rid of it for a camaro and got rid of the camaro and bought a 2018 f-150 vid coming soon

[@tonykim3318]

This is the realest review ever! Love it!

[@techevar]

Truck looks Awsome man!

[@AnnArbor05]

Duuuude, put a Leveling kit on the front end! Makes SUCH a difference for a very small price tag. You can get the puck style for literally like $60 for the cheapos and get a 2.5" or even 3" inch lift on the front end, which is really all you need for a cheap improvement! I also hae a black 2013 F-150 FX4, exact same options as you also, with the Ecoboost engine. Personally I have a set of higher-end adjustable leveling shocks (Bilstein 5100's. set of 4 was $500 + install, front's only were $300 + install and are good enough for the look and steering improvement). How much were those headlights? I've been contemplating replacing my stock onesw but the wsteock are so high-quality and expensive ($850 for a pair) that I am having a hard time choosing to dispose of them. Rims and Tires But, my dude, that guy at Discount Tire lied to you - those tires are not the equivalent of a Raptor. They are over 2" inches smaller. Your's are 32.7" whereas a Rfaptor is just under 35" (34.8" I think"). Just thought you should know. They still look great tho! I've 33.2" Nitto's on mine that are only a tad larger and they cost like $300 each, so for the price you are doing very well. I also got some cheapo rims for like $230 each and they gave me a similar look and stance, just a bit more stainless steel visible on them (Mayhems). Good looking Headlights and Taillights!!! I also returned the bullet antenna and got a 5" flexible one for $15 and it helped a lot. I love the inerior lights to, I literally just installed those last night!

[@rockernro]

You should be able to go online to ford and get the update for that specific truck. However if you have an aftermarket screen that’s probably something within the settings and has to be on WiFi, or Search if there’s an update. I know I updated my Bluetooth in mine at it ran flawless ever since and yes via usb

How can I find this grille??

[@rockernro]

EBay: just buy the white led’s separate make sure they are the same shape they just unscrew of the back if you don’t want amber. Gloss is good because it won’t sun fade like the other matte ones www.ebay.com/itm/284844143776?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=8hprsilmr82&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=p_Ffv7hRQSW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@memikester]

Hey John, for the Morimoto headlights, did you opt to do the smoked side markers? Or did you just order it standard? Also do you have the smoked lights in the grill, it appears that they are amber in color right? So when they are off they look black and when on they are amber? I ask because I see they offer smoked white lights in one of the eBay links you posted earlier. Thanks

[@rockernro]

No side markers smoked and the lights I believe I purchased the grill lights on Amazon or eBay. Those are blacked out when off and Amber when on. If you watched my latest video on my 2018 F-150’i put another aftermarket grill on that with smoked black lights and they’re white. The white looks much better in my opinion and you can go to the link on Amazon for those. They are the same size as the older ones. Hope this helps!

You should of ran your grille lights to your day time running lights you ruined the whole grille and your heat gun truck kind of melted your door trim on passenger side. The hard cover bed top is better someone could get a knife and cut that one. You over paid for your headlights. You should of bought an oil separater catch can as your first mod. I like the stickers tho good job with all the stickers they’re perfect. Your headlights are bad ass I’m just jealous. And I want those fog lights I have the 2012 fx2 all white
