Default 2013 FX4 build

To start off I purchased my FX4 in February of this year and I love it! Ford keeps drawing me back in. When I picked it up it had a 2.5" leveling kit on it with 18x9 fuel hostage wheels with toyo open country tires. (Which are for sale &#128540. I now have 20x9 XD addicts with 35x12.5x20 nitto trail grapplers. This weekend Im installing my 6" lift that I ordered. A lot more to come just trying to make up my mind what to do. Im not the kind to build a truck that looks like everyone else's. Going to try to make it different.

With the "new raptor" style you can see the painted hood through the grille which doesn't look good to me. Just my opinion. There are two thread going on it right now if you want to see real world pics.

i saw it but figured you could always hit that part of the hood with plasti dip so it blended in.
