I decided to take a little trip out to the Kaniksu yesterday and do some off roading. The trails are a blast during the summer time and you can spend hours driving up through, what I feel, is some of the most amazing mountains around WA. The scenery is still good in the winter but the trails are a little "sporty" if you know what I mean. Spent about 4 hours out on the trails climbing to every peak I could in snow and ice and the truck did great. It helped quite a bit once I loaded up some trees in the back but I was really happy with how the Toyo's performed.
I hope everyone is having a great holiday and from my family to all of you MERRY CHRISTMAS !!

Problems I ran into
What follows will hopefully be a great build thread on my new 2011 F150 Eco-BEAST Screw Fully Loaded. Everyone has their own idea of their "dream truck" and this is mine. So here is my attempt at getting some opinions from you guys on this truck and also some advise on how to complete or start projects. My main focus right now is aesthetics and the million different things that can fall under it. I would really love to get into tuning, down pipes, engine mods, CAI, lifting and truly fulfilling the title of an Eco-BEAST but im not made of $$$$ and cant afford to lose my factory warranty. Thats at least just for now or until i just say it and end up doing all those mods in 1k miles anyway. Attached is some pictures of the truck since i got it about a month ago and what I've done so far.

More wasted money
I added a CAI, SCT programmer, 3" MBRP down pipes, 4" MBRP exhaust, dual catch cans, 73mm throttle body and TIAL BOV. My truck turbos stopped working and I got a bunch of codes. My mechanic warned me that my truck would not pass Ontario emissions tests with those down tubes and that my turbos stopped working because they are not getting the required back pressure because of the large exhaust.
