Anyone building an XTF Stage 1 kit!

[Jim Frahm]

Anyone that knows me also knows that I'm a bowtie guy. With that said, it's hard to look away from the XTF truck and I'm seriously considering an XTF Stage 1. I would love to see them offer that for the GMC/Chevy trucks but I don't know if I can wait that long. I've actually been searching for a 2018-2020 F150 Lariat. In-the-mean-time, I'm looking for stage 1 build threads/info.

Merry Christmas,

Jim

I’d love to build one - my dream garage is a Stage 1 XTF that can tow my Mk5 to paint, etc. I don’t know many who are doing stage 1 build threads only because it’s mainly an appearance package and suspension bolt ons.

but if I’m lucky enough to come across an F150 for the right price, you better believe I’ll be doing a build thread.

I am planning on building a stage 1. The wife just gave me the green light after seeing it, her truck would be donor. Bought it new in 2020 and just paid it off. She always wanted a raptor so next best thing. Below is the one slated to go behind my cobra. Just waiting on my bonus check and to the races I go.

Nice looking Roadster. I look forward to your build. I don't own an F150 but I might buy the Stage 1 kit now while it's on sale and then start looking for a truck.

Definitely would love to see some build threads. And only having three (one if you don't count the betas) is disheartening. Especially with all the kits that have been sold (according to FFR)

It would be great if FFR had the assembly manual for the Stage 1 for sale on their site as I want to do some modifications and want to answer some questions first.

Thanks for uploading the manual. I checked it out and am surprised by how involved the installation is compared to my initial thoughts. Very cool to see how it all comes together blending OEM & FFR parts

Awesome. Will buy the manual forthwith.
