Awesome truck...what is the back spacing and offset on those wheels?

Honestly not sure. The lift, wheels and other mods were done before being imported by the dealer here.

A bit of an update... Managed a few of my wish list... problem is finding anything over here and shipping is a real pain in the A**. Have a few more ideas that I'd like to do and a copuple of the old ones have gone by the wayside....


[QUOTE=ZipperWood;4710489]Just got my brand new 2014 FX4 from the dealer last week. Now time to make it mine.....

The old 2014 FX4 (5.0, Ruby Red, Super cab, 20' stock pereli's, 17K miles) is sold and will be gone next week. - never had an issue with her but wanted to make her a bit more capable for desert driving here in the UAE. Found the brand new (factory miles only- 65) in a showroom in Abu Dhabi and did a bit of number crunching, cost me less to sell my old truck and but the new one than it would for me to have the mods done to the old one and lose the factory warranty.

The new FX4 was imported by the dealer here direct from Ford with Ford approved mods and upgrades that are all under the warranty with Ford.





6.2 Liter engine upgrade
Full Leather instead of the Half & Half
Billet grille (X-Metal)
On Board Air Compressor and 2gallon tank
295/60/20 Nitto Trail Grapplers on new rims
6" ProComp lift
HID front lights
LED rear lights
BakFlip G2 tonneau

Been out in the dunes a couple times already and the difference is huge.... The only stinker is the turning radius.. Going to make a few adjustments this weekend to get some turn back though.

Hoping over the coming months to make a few changes/ mods to make her a little more mine....

Looking at the following items (mostly cosmetic)

1. Window Tint - 1st Priority, an absolute must here... (Done)
2. Bed Rails - really think they make a truck stand out a bit more (Done)
3. replacement third light - would love to find a good smoked lens and powdered finish (pending..)
4. vinyl graphics - need something to break it up a little (not a huge fan of the hockey stick on the old truck) (Done, - decided to just replace the old FX4 decals with some new ones)
5. debating between bull bar and brush guard, depends on whether i go for a custom bumper. can have them made here pretty reasonably (waiting on decision regarding winch, if no winch, then no need for either)
6. replacement emblems - want to get rid of the chrome, keep everything i can matte black (Badges replaced)
7. antenna - hate the whip (Done)
8. bug guard - (Done)
9. matte billet fuel door (Dopne)
10. tail light guards (Deleted, dont need... not backing through the desert and nothing to really hit)
11. Cold Air Intake (Still debating on which one, also looking at availability.. Either AFE, Roush, or Bully DOg. bout the only ones I can find here)
12. Upgrade the exhaust (will replace when the old one is done, not easy to get anything back on the old one here, if stateside I could sell it on)
13. performance chip... that 6.2 is a beast on the road, in the dirt and at the pump. (Tuner is on the way finally, had to special order as petrol here is higher octane than in states, I run 95 and that the cheap stuff here)

I imagine the list will grow as i go....

14. New.... UpDown Air system. https://updownair.com/ ( cant wait to do this install.. going to have make a few modifications to it as they dont have a kit specific to the F150, only the raptor.)
15. New... Winch, looking at either Warn or Smittybuilt,
16. New... Replacement on board air compressor (the one that came installed when I bought it is slow as hell, looking at ARB twin onboard compressor)
17. New... Bedside rack system (https://www.builtrightind.com/produc...2014-ford-f-15)
18 New... Tires, upsized from the 295/60/R20 Nitto TerraGrapplers to 35x12.5x20 General Grabber X3's. Hopefully next time I'll be able to find the Nitto Dune Grapplers that I really wanted.
19. New... Diff gear change, expensive.... looking to move on from the stock 3.55, looking at 4.10 instead. getting out in the soft sand she seems to bog down a little more than before the new tires.



Any Suggestions/ Comments would be greatly appreciated..
