Vary nicely done, looks like something I've seen recently.
Yes I kept the OE Stereo, I actually like it & mine came equipped with Sirius

Thanks,
I have no idea where Satellite Module is, I assume its built in, because both antenna cables plug into that bottom unit (where the CD goes)

The stock stereo that was in my 2013 sound terrible, no bass to it until the volume was cranked way up. And it didn't have Sirius, and I've had Sirius for the last 12-15 years and really liked it. Specially with the music that played on air here in the Durham/Raleigh area, well just isn't for me.
I'm hoping Santa will get me some new speakers for Christmas, since I didn't want to spend any more than I did when I did the Pioneer upgrade.

Ok, so after adding those LED strips under my rear Bumper to my back-up light circuit (see my perma-link below, #79 from this thread) I seen these JDM's that another member posted in-action pic's to reference. They looked awesome & of course u can never have enough light, so I ordered some.

My previous light upgrade: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post16740429

The JDM's are definitely an awesome upgrade & at only $18 on Amazon, well worth it IMO

That could be the coolest idea since gold teeth. Will be checking my truck once it gets light outside... and probably placing an Amazon order 10min later!

Yeah I saw those too, Warren. I've already saved them to my wish list in Amazon! I'll order them once the wife/Chief Financial Officer gives me the green light

Those bulbs are different than my bulbs. Could you post some in action pictures? My JDM's were $30.

Just a heads up, the Sync and Sirius is under the access panel on the top of the dash. I used it to hook up an extra usb to run my ipad I placed in my dash.
Nice build, love the truck!

Do u mean it's under that useless tray in the top center of my dashboard

Thank u for the compliment
I love driving this truck (rides like a Cadillac) & its very well equipped (lots of goodies) but I do miss my rough riding, high HP/Torque Powerstroke Diesel.
Wish I could've afforded to keep em both

No foolen on the ride of these newer F150's. I do think my 2011 rode better than the 2013. Must be due to the 2011 being 4x2, and the 2013 is 4x4, and the 2011 had 18" wheels, and the 2013 has 17" wheels. That part I really don't get, and they're both XLT's with chrome package.

Must be the 4X2 variant in your case, as mine is a FX2 with 20" Wheels.
My only complaint w/the F150 is the suspension feels too soft, while cornering.
I'll be checking into some stiffer or better yet adjustable replacement shocks for it soon.

Installed a full set of Rancho RS9000XL Series, click-adjustable, Shocks & Struts g
I know some of you will call me crazy, but I am used to SuperDuty's & this F150 rides so smooth, it felt like I was on a boat, just floating around.
Also when I drove her into a corner or ramp hard, the body rolled too much for my taste (even w/that massive Sway-Bar).
So I installed these babies & now I can dial the suspension to my liking.

Your right tho, "You are crazy". Sorry. but I had too, it too wide open of a shot not to take.
But being able to dial in the firmness that you want doesn't sound like a bad deal tho.
Money wise, how do these adjustable shocks and struts compare to stock replacements?

No worries, I get told worse everyday
Best price I found on them was @ RockAuto $510 total
I had these on my 2006 F250 also for a few years & loved em
