Bludrok's Performance Tremor Build

[dondonbabyraptor]

I'm at 5000 miles now, and put it on around 1000, I think? No issues. It really woke up the exhaust, which the MBRP is a mild toned exhaust. I wouldn't want it combined with an aggressive exhaust.

Interesting note. Thank you. My truck already makes cars alarms go off… but I really want this. I wish I was as mechanically inclined as you, I’ll have to send it to a shop to install.

There are only 3 bolts, but getting to them sucks. Even if you had the skills and tools to do it, I wouldn't fault you for taking it to a shop.

Current TOTAL investment! :-?

Dunno, don't want to know...?

Near 60k though. That includes my bumper, winch, and lighting setup I haven't installed yet though.

Added Auxbeam 7" Ditch lights using brackets from @Robby887.

There will be many edits before my build is complete, but I was excited to start sharing.

Ordered in February, finally picked it up on Cinco de Mayo 2021 (May 5th)

Here are pictures at the dealership:

I didn't get home till late, but was excited to start my build, so I woke up early and started before heading to work.

Mishimoto Cold Air Intake:

TurboSmart Dual Port Blow-off Valve:

AVS Smoke Bugflector II:

HitchSafe:

I made a cable so the cover will never be lost if it falls off while driving. It is a Husky PVC Cable Saw tied to my tow package and the other end cut off.

First, I wrapped it and then tied the cable.

When pulled tight, this is how it looks. The handle from the cable saw is too big to fit through that opening, so it won't fall out.

I drilled a small hole into the center of the cover and then crimped a quick connect fitting that I cut off the end for. Gives it a professional look, while ensuring it holds the cover.

CravenSpeed - The Stubby Antenna:

RUXIFEY Side Mirror Puddle Light LED Lamp:

For the connections, I used heat shrink tubing that I filled with Di-electric grease prior to heating up the heat shrink. The excess you see in the picture was wiped away afterwards.

VIP MOTOZ Smoked Marker Lights

CupHolderHero Cup Holder Inserts

MBRP Dual Split Rear Exit Cat-back Exhaust

@AzScorpion I want my T-Shirt! ?

Added some decals (More to follow):

Relocated the Securicode Keypad. It was easy to remove using dental floss, then I cleaned the excess glue using alchohol. Used 3m VHB tape to apply inside the gas door.

SPD Performance Downpipe

The downpipe said it had a 3" pipe with an adapter to 2.5", but the adapter was actually welded on. I cut off the adapter to have a true 3" exhaust.

Make sure you have an impact wrench, plenty of swivels and extensions if you are going to replace the downpipe. It is a B***h to get out. I used 20" of extensions and i think as many as 3 swivels for the most difficult nut.

Since the MBRP exhaust did not come with a front pipe, I purchased a new flex adaptor and 5' Stainless straight pipe. I connected the flex pipe to the downpipe and then the straight pipe runs back to the muffler.

Here is the flex pipe:

This is the straight pipe running back to the exhaust.

I connected the pipes together using these lap band clamps.

One note I will make for anyone doing this. In the picture showing the flex pipe, there is a hanger bracket on the other side that is not currently used. That's why the pipe is so close to the frame. I am going to take it to an exhaust shop to have them weld a hanger so I can use the stock bracket to prevent it from banging of the frame when I hit a bump.

Here it is.

Sorry about that, I meant to put the link in but was in a hurry and never went back and edited.

From the pictures it looks like your truck is too clean. Get out and get it dirty! Nice build though.

 

[Bludrok]

Installed my 2" level kit from Fordrangerlifts.com

Any issues with the rough country dif skid plate install? Any modifying required since I think its made for the Jeep M220? Any pics?

Thanks.

No issues. However, I did purchase longer grade 8 bolts and use washers as spacers for the front support bracket. Otherwise you will bend it over the driveline.

I'll try to upload some pics for you this weekend.

Installed my Bumper (YAY! Finally!), Light Bar, Winch and Fairlead, ACC Relocation Bracket, Fog Lights (Thank you @StezenW!!), and Fumoto Valve.

All pictures are in the original post. I edit it each time I add something, that way you can see the entire progression without having to search through the thread.

I make the notification post so it bumps the thread, and notifies those who are following it that there is an update.
