Hello from SoFla

Hello all,

New guy here from South FL. Just picked up my new (to me) 13, on Friday, and before anything had to make sure I found a forum to join to start the learning process. I’m a longtime Ford fan, starting with Mustangs, and as the family grew so did the seats in my vehicle. Just now getting out of a 6.0 4x4 Excursion with 280k on the clock and man I couldn’t be more ecstatic about being in a v8 Raptor.

Immediate mod plans consist of adjusting to mid perch, exhaust (corsa or maybe AFE), tune, and intake.

I love the performance as is so after I get the sound where I want it I’ll probably move to bumpers/lights/suspension.

Anywho, enough talking and here are some pics.

I heard good things about the area. There’s a crew from down here that goes up. Looking to get up sooner or later as well.

So 25 on 35’s and 100+ on 39’s? Lol

Did I say 100+, nooo i would never go over the speed limit.....lol

I am still on jack stands and have not actually put the 39s to the road yet (so much work going in to running 39s). but when i was running 37s they loved the dirt out there. and yeah can easily hit over 100 on some stretches just best to have a spotter on the far end to watch for others...

Personally im not a huge fan of muddy trails ( to each their own) and ocala has a good mix of both so you can stay dry or go get stuck in a hole and bend your frame getting pulled out.... lol

Yeah I know lol. I have been following your thread on the 39’s. That’s gotta be slot of work. I’m sure the truck will be awesome when done.

Rather not run in mud and beat up the truck. She still has to daily driver my butt to work lol. Not looking for tight wooded trails either. Some wider or wide open areas to run is fine with me. Hard packed or sand would be fine. Sounds like I’m looking for desert in the swamps

When I was looking around found several black ones in So FL. Curious, where did you get yours and $$? If you feel comfortable stating? I found the FRF about two years before I finally found my NOS dealership owned 2014 Beast.
