After a long break, Stage 3 Motorsports is officially back on YouTube — and if you've ever followed our builds, installs, or project truck deep dives, this is one video you don’t want to miss. So... What Happened?

2024 has been an interesting year for F150 enthusiasts and aftermarket manufacturers alike. With the release of the refreshed 2024 F150, many of the top manufacturers took a little extra time to confirm fitments for their parts and accessories. Fortunately, the wait is over, and we're excited to announce that most 2023 parts will fit seamlessly on your new 2024 F150. In this article, we’ll explore the key changes in the 2024 F150, highlight some of the most popular upgrades we’ve already seen on the road, and guide you through the top categories for aftermarket parts. Whether you’re looking to boost performance, improve style, or simply make your F150 stand out, we’ve got you covered with some of the best upgrades available on the market.

Well, there's no way to really sugarcoat it, but the current COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic is causing a bit of a disruption in everyday life for folks all over the country and the world. Unfortunately, we here at Stage 3 Motorsports aren't immune from some of these disruptions. Arizona Governor Doug Ducey has just issued a Stay at Home Order for all non-essential businesses that will take effect Tuesday, March 31st, 2020. While we'd make a strong argument that performance parts and accessories are an essential part of any post-apocalypse vehicle build, established definitions and case law is not our side. We at Stage 3 have already had employees working from home for a few weeks, and now our entire team will transition to working from home. We are not closed, and we are still open for business!

Stage 3 and its employees are still taking orders, providing answers to your technical questions, assisting you with your performance parts orders, and adding parts and information to our site. However, some delays are inevitable and unavoidable in this unfortunate situation. Our remote warehouses are still operating, and most products will still be shipping in a timely manner. While our sales staff will retain their phones, our customer service staff is going to transition entirely over to email and our online contact form for communication. We have response times down to within 24 hours, but please be patient when contacting our customer service staff as some delay is inevitable. Please email [email protected] with any customer service related issues.

On top of our own local issues, overseas supply chains are strained due to travel and shipping restrictions, which has hurt the availability of both overseas-derived product and domestically manufactured products that use imported raw materials. Manufacturers located in heavily-effected areas are reducing staff or even shutting down entirely to protect their at-risk employees and their families. Our employees may have to take time off due to Arizona's current school closures and other potential life issues caused by the COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak. We, again, ask for patience if and when these issues to arise.

We understand that it may be frustrating to not receive your order in a timely manner. We are all enthusiasts, and we absolutely feel your pain. We will do our best to fulfill and ship your orders in a timely manner and provide you accurate updates on availability and ETAs. We appreciate your support throughout the years, and it's been the loyalty and faithfulness of our customers that has allowed Stage 3 to become one of the best sites on the internet to purchase parts for your truck. Please bear with us as we fight through these issues. We will beat this thing. Thank you for your continued support!

We've had the same site for around two years now, and while that may not be a long time in person or dog years, it's a thousand centuries in internet years. So, it was high-time for something new and we've worked long and hard on this new version of the site to improve usability, make navigation easier, and better showcase our photos and videos. We put special effort into the mobile version of the site to replace our (admittedly) pretty bad mobile site. It's now easier to find the products you need with better filters and big improvements to mobile navigation. Check after the jump of example images of the homepage on desktop and mobile. Now, because we made some big changes, some things may look wonky to your browser or device's caching.

In terms of raw power, the 6.7L Powerstroke diesel is the crown jewel of the Super Duty engine lineup. However, there are plenty of reasons why someone might prefer the gas-powered 6.2L engine. And now, with our brand new 2017-2018 Super Duty 6.2L section up on the site, you have even more reasons! While we're constantly working on adding new products, the 6.2L section already has a robust selection of performance parts, exterior upgrades, interior accessories and plenty more to keep you happy with your gas engine Super Duty!

If you're at all familiar with Stage 3's off-road shenanigans, you've probably noticed a lot of wooded areas and forest backdrops. Well this time around we're taking our trucks across Arizona's northern border for a change of scenery, and we need your help deciding which trails to take on! We have a few locations picked out already, but we won't have time for each one, therefore we're turning to our community of off-road enthusiasts for some advice. Hit the jump for complete details!

The Enforcer Front Bumper by Rogue Racing is one of our most popular 2017 Super Duty bumpers, and it just got a whole lot better. Now you can easily customize your Enforcer Front Bumper with a host of lighting, winch and style options that make it truly your own. We've also updated the product page to include an optional add-on for Rogue Racing's Adaptive Cruise Control Relocation Bracket so that you can retain the use of your truck's adaptive cruise control system.

Stage 3 has finally jumped aboard the hot hatch train with our latest project car and very first Focus ST build. Our Oxford White 2016 Focus ST project is still in its infancy, so now's the time to sit back and watch this near-stock ST transform into a vicious track-ready hot hatch right before your eyes. Follow the official 2016 Focus ST Project Page for the full details on our latest build and perhaps you'll uncover an upgrade or two for your own ST build!

We like to think we have three types of customers here at Stage 3: the off-roader, the street racer, and of course those who dabble in both. While our primary Instagram page, @stage3motorsports, caters primarily to the off-road enthusiasts with big trucks, our Street page will serve our Mustang, Focus and Fiesta shoppers. Because our Focus and Fiesta sections have expanded so rapidly within the past few months, we figured it'd be a good idea to throw out some suggestions for new ST and RS owners looking to make the most out of their build. Hit the jump to read about some of the most popular upgrades for the Focus and Fiesta ST!

Fiesta ST owners, rejoice! Stage 3 is proud to welcome a whole new category to the site comprised of performance parts and accessories for the 2014+ Fiesta ST!

We'll be busy tracking down as many quality Fiesta parts as possible in the coming weeks, so be sure to stay tuned!

It may not be our go-to vehicle for carving through off-road trails.

While we've had more than few 2011-2016 F250 & F350 6.2L V8 performance parts floating around the site for a while now, most of them just had cross-fitments with either the 6.2L F150 or the 6.7L Super Duty trucks. Well, we've spent some time hunting down 6.2L V8 Super Duty parts so that folks with a gas-burning F250 or F350 can get their build going strong. We have a surprising amount of parts and accessories available for the 6.2L V8 F250 and F350 trucks, with even more coming in the next few days Check out our new 2011-2016 F250 & F350 6.2L category page, and stay tuned for even more parts and accessories here in the near future!

The brand spanking new 2.7L V6 EcoBoost packs an excellent amount of power for its size, and our dear friends over at 5-Star made sure to grab a 2015 F150 packing one of these bad boys under the hood as soon as they could. After extensive testing on their dyno, 5-Star's 2015 F150 2.7L EcoBoost V6 custom tuning is now ready to go and is available for your very own truck. What's even better, is that the 2.7L is just barely behind the mighty 3.5L in power, making the 2.7L a bargain when it comes to performance. 5-Star's 2015 F150 2.7L EcoBoost Custom Tuning comes on your choice of either an SCT X4 Handheld Tuner, SCT Livewire TS Monitor, or an SCT iTSX Bluetooth Tuner, which gives you plenty of options to meet your budget or application. While 5-Star's 2.7L EcoBoost Custom Tuning adds big power to your truck, the tunes also improve shifting, throttle response, and fuel economy making them some of the best performance upgrades on the market for your 2015 F150!

As many of you know, we here at Stage 3 Motorsports have been having a problem with our website over the last month, since the launch of our redesign. While it certainly looked great, its basic functionality was questionable at best.
