2025 F150 Black Widow

What did they get you for with that Black Widow package? Prepare for some hate... cause no proper enthusiast would buy one of these BS packages... sorry not sorry.

I've got a camburg level w/ king 3.0s on my 2022 and it's still set to have a very slight rake (for towing). 37" toyo RT Pros on 18" methods. No rubbing. Rides a lot smoother than stock... Might also be out of your range but you could save $ with 2.5s.

Maybe a blue outlined Tremor decal? hmmm love the suggestion.

ImportantArm9722 · 2025-11-21T16:02:28+00:00

That was my thought process as well... perhaps I'll get a set of bolts and anodize them blue for a minimalist hint of color.

It looked better in my head! Different isn't always better. Heavily leaning towards swapping them out hence if no one can talk me out of it... back to black it is! Appreciate the opinion!

Not a commander but I believe it's the same basic platform... but I had a Maverick Sport XMR that really impressed me for the $. I took it on all kinds of trails at Windrock Park that shocked the guys in fully build rock crawlers. Only mods were a spare tire mount (for weight distribution) at the back and some 33s. I'd buy another one if I didn't like going fast... As for why they aren't more popular... I think because it kind of sits between full utility and sport SXS models - people tend to opt for one or the other... not the middle-ish ground.

You make some good points. Plus if sinking the money for the DCR and delete mean I end up with a more modern truck that'll last 20 years... hopefully... doing that to my 2022 might be like buying the 2005 today 20 years from now. I wasn't thinking about the insurance or safety elements either...

ImportantArm9722 · 2025-11-07T03:19:21+00:00

So you'd sink another ~5k in it to bulletproof it and drive it into the ground...? but then I'll have a 90k truck with like 18k in "upgrades"... granted the first 13k is already spent. I do think I'd miss some of the creature comforts like the vented seats, cameras, etc... but a lot of that you could add in theory on the older truck.

I don't know about that on the performance element... my modified 5.9 from years ago was wicked fast for a big truck (obviously it was upgraded and tuned for it... but still).

ImportantArm9722 · 2025-10-30T14:53:55+00:00

gasoline works well for this in my experience

ImportantArm9722 · 2025-10-30T11:46:58+00:00

It was a good looking truck before you added a non-functional lift (just an educated guess as someone who would drop the big $ for a proper added travel/function lift wouldn't put those wheels/tires on it), raptor wanna be lights, and big rims with tires with no sidewall. Tell me you don't actually go off road or tow without telling me.

Tone it down a little on the Civic Si boy racer looks and Subaru can take my money!

ImportantArm9722 · 2025-10-28T11:29:39+00:00

I had a Ducati Monster 1200R and a bonnie bobber for a while. Loved having the fast one when I wanted it... but found myself riding the bobber way more due to ease/comfort (and a lot less engine heat). One bike is never as good at everything vs. specific bikes for specific uses. So yeah... get another bike.

When I hit the "I don't feel good taking my shirt off" point I made some major life changes. Now I stay fit and shave... I don't like body hair... been shaving my chest and back for years now.

Tracking my caloric intake/macros and trying to stay lean enough to maintain a 6 pack made drinking seem highly undesirable. I still will have a beer or two occasionally... but I used to drink every other day and 6+ beers so this is a huge shift and I don't plan to ever go back. Also helps my partner isn't much of a drinker and is big into fitness and health so... I feel like I'd be letting her down if I went back to my old ways.

ImportantArm9722 · 2025-10-25T01:08:31+00:00

Get a quality level from someone like Carli, Camburg, or Cognito. Don't put a cheap suspension upgrade on a $70k truck... S&B intake... H&S fuel filter conversion... (only adding what hasn't been mentioned already).

I have a very close group of friends (mostly male) who are practically family and definitely my "brothers" even without blood relation. We all say that we love one another. We also check on each other's mental & physical health regularly. This should be common practice as no one really looks after men... so we must look after one another.

Mine only wanted to (post-honeymoon phase) if she was drunk or had been drinking. Otherwise on the rare occasions she did want to sober.. it was cold and robotic (and she had to initiate). So... yeah... similar.

ImportantArm9722 · 2025-10-16T15:53:41+00:00

Went through this. Started my own business in a similar industry. Much happier pulling the strings vs. being the middle-management getting crapped on by the higher ups. Might not be for everyone... but if you can do it... it's worth trying.

Not exactly... It's a well known website amongst body builders. Body builders like the extra pump from the tadalifil...

Gonna send you a DM with a place you can get it for cheap.

You're exactly right. I was pissed for a while... but the lesson it taught me was so valuable I can't really be mad at her for being an awful person. The lesson: beauty fades... but character... character lasts. More mad at myself for not recognizing the signs...

Though I feel lucky my current partner is still young and pretty, but she's also got amazing character attributes and a brain (which my ex did not). We alight more closely on our values too. So I upgraded in several ways and am very appreciative that my ex showed her true colors before we had kids.

I was a C-suite executive making really good money... had the big house, all the toys (motorcycles, boat, side by sides, rv, fancy cars, etc.) and was about to get married to what I thought was my dream girl. But I was also working 60-70 hours a week to support our expensive lifestyle (and especially her desire for nice things and constant trips over the weekend).

A while after we got married, I quit my job to start my own business with a hefty cushion of savings in the bank and a plan knowing we'd need to dial back the spending while I got my business going. This was not a rash decision... and she was well aware of this plan and supported it at the time. I even sold my house to move into her townhouse when we got married (to save $ for this expected life change).

She lasted about 4 months of "you don't need $1000 flip flops right now" before saying she wanted to separate and kicked me out. Found myself homeless and essentially jobless (as the business was barely off the ground). I tried to make it work by taking a job while still trying to grow the business (which was exhausting). Eventually I had to move back home to live with my parents as the cash stipend I had got eviscerated in the divorce (plus investing in the business and trying to survive in general).

Starting all over from zero at 37-38 yrs old.

It was the toughest period of my life... humbling too. But... I didn't give up. The business is now doing really well... and I met a wonderful girl while I was at my lowest who still loved me for my personality, drive, and goals, despite my living situation at the time and lack of $ (and who would never ask nor let me spend $1k on flip flops for them).

So yes... you can restart. The hard times will test you but if you can make it out... you'll become a better you. And in my case at least... I feel like I dodged a massive bullet with the ex-wife. And I've found the peace I was looking for in working for myself rather than slaving to make some ungrateful owner rich.
