Aonarch's 2024 F-150 XLT 5.0l Overland Build

[Goldeneye36]

Agreed! Mach 1 is peak.

Dark Horse is cool and all but it would be $20k more than this 3,000 mile Mach 1.

DH is too damn expensive for a Mustang.

The only modern Mustang I would sell my current one for is a GT350. The only other one would be an 03/04 Cobra. I'm also weird though.

GT350 are awesome, but the Voodoo is too fragile for my liking. I wouldn't own one without a warranty. I will be doing a lot of track days and events with this car, so I need it to be durable.

Sick build!!

Going to Moab in August. I'll buy sliders well before then.

Rear tire. Looks pretty good.

Front. Looks good.

The rear tires after driving more, you can see a little chalk left on the very edge of the tread block. I'll add probably 2 psi in the rear to adjust.

I'll probably run 32 front and 34 rear HOT.

Maybe bump it up a tad on longer jaunts.

Works like a charm! I referenced Livnitup's Forscan spreadsheet to make my changes, being a 2024 things were different.

I only had to pull the trim piece directly over the buttons, no need to take anything else off. I used one pick to push in the tabs, the switch comes out from the front. Took 10 minutes start to finish with Forscan changes.

I tested that everything works including HDC.

Annoyed that my buttons don't perfectly match the ones I had, notice the traction control one is angled, where before the left side was straight. I thought that I had ordered the right part number, I guess not! I just ordered ML3Z-13D730-RA, which looks to be the right one for me. I had ordered KA.

I want a little more rake in the rear while fully loaded with all of my gear. So I purchased the Eibach 2.5" lift block. This should give me an extra inch of height in the rear. These actually reduce travel btw.​

​

73F today. Track season is kicking off. Got the Mach 1 dialed in.​

 

[Aonarch]

Got the correct switched installed. Took me seriously 2 minutes.

Thank you for sharing your excellent build on this thread. How do you like that specific roof top tent and why did you pick that particular one?

I picked it because its size was perfect for my 2 door Bronco. They seemingly designed the exterior dimensions with the 2dr Bronco in mind, based on their original marketing content.

It is very lightweight, and well made. It's minimalist for sure, no storage, annex, or attachment points. I upgraded the mattress with a 3" hybrid air/ foam FSR one. The original was a very thin foam pad.

The few things I don't like are the zippers on the outside, versus clasps, and it's minimalism. Carbon fiber version has clasps and an upgraded mattress.

The major issue I have is it's small size. I'm 6'2" and I am too tall.

Inspired Overland has the XL version and Carbon fiber version, which would solve most of my concerns, while not adding any additional negatives.

I am wanting to go back to trying out a ground tent. I have a Gazelle T3X.

Finally got around to installing the Eibach 2.5" blocks and bump stop spacers. This provides me with an extra 1" of rear lift. Before I was completely level with a full tank. This will give me some rake and departure angle.

Super easy. Took me a hour and ten minutes, start to all tools put away and finished.

Any chance you have more pics of the winch install? I'm thinking about ordering the Rough Country mount and drilling the holes. I can't justify $700 (delivered) for the Swarfworks mount. How much of a pain is it?
