There's nothing out of the ordinary here and I don't think I'll go much further than 3.0's unless I stop DDing this truck. With that said I wanted to start a build thread to keep track of my progress. I picked my 2013 Oxford White SCab up in late April after an order debacle from a less than honest first dealer. Found another dealer who was much more honest and even closer to home, they processed my order for 200 over invoice. My intent with this build is a nice clean/DIRTY truck that's fun to to beat up offroad but still civilized on road. please keep the brand/vendor wars out of this, I like all quality parts and have ordered from a number of vendors while still being budget savvy and cruising the classifieds.

This is the first day I brought it home.

Then I got a great deal on these from BlackMamba who already had a set and had won them on a raptor expedition

A couple weeks later I ordered my LCA skids, rear shocks, and bumpstop/frame brace again from kirk.

Finally got my front suspension pieces installed along with skids and some tie rods from RPG. Somehow I was able to totally **** one of the pins up, but big thanks to RPG for overnighting me some new ones (free of charge I might add).

Then it was time to install my raceline bumpers, Thanks to PatsRaptor for talking me through the cuts and helping me grow a pair, this was my first time cutting a body panel and I was more than a little nervous. Also installed the UMP intake, but dont have a picture of that.

And Finally installed a MBRP downturn with resonator.

Up next is a curved lightbar, either Rigid RDS or the VisionX offering, if either one of them will ever bring one to market. I still can't make up my mind about the wheels I want or rather I want to go with 37's.

Thanks all! This truck is a 100 percent garage/driveway build, the only time the BFM has seen a shop is for alignments, and I'm having a great time learning new things and figuring out just how far my limited skill and luck can get me lol. I love my BFM sticker, was trying to decide on a name for the truck and it's the only thing that stuck out in my mind :hmmm2:

That's they way to do it man! Everything I've done was done in my garage or driveway! That's how you learn and you have a greater sense of pride in the truck when you do it yourself!

And you also don't have anyone else to blame when you strip both sides of a heavy duty pin lol!
