IBF150 Build Thread

This is the build thread for my 2005 F150 XLT 4x4, photography is a hobby of mine so I will post lots of pictures

Facebook Build Page if you guys would like to follow:

Instagram: @ibf150

It all started March 19, 2011 when I purchased the truck completely stock.




Around July of 2011 I ordered dimpled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads, 17x9 -12mm Fuel Hostages and 35x12.5r17 Trail Grappler M/T and a Rough Country 6" Lift

I was told real ganstas aint ever scared so I went to 22x11 -25mm offset XD Diesels and added the adjustable Bilstein Struts, they put the front at about 7.5" of lift.

Begining of the doors



Me and my buddy Jake at Red Creek NOLA, not a place for your daily driver as I found out $5700 later full rebuild on the front end down to brake lines, had to replace main seal on the motor and instead of getting a plain rebuild on the transmission I went with a 600hp capable unit for plans down the road.







Long story short we spent about 7 hours on this 2 mile long trail..... nasty stuff. I broke my 4x4 early in the day in a super nasty hole being stubborn so I was 2wd through some nasty stuff
