I'd keep the F-150, I wouldn't go near any new diesel with all of this emissions garbage smothering them.

I really can't justify a diesel honestly, but I feel like id enjoy modding the living hell out of it more.

But if I keep this thing and lift it, ill probably buy a C7Z as well a little later on. Diesel might push me out of that range.

Love the look of the 20x12's!

Was there any issue getting the tires to stretch to fit that wide of a wheel? Also i didn't see where you posted on what you had to do trimming wize to make them work. I had to do some trimming just to get my 20x9 0 offset not to rub.

I love that look and would be exactly why id keep and lift mine, something about a diesel always gets me though lol. But I'll probably lift mine and add a race car to the stable.

Loving the sticker! I need some oracle pods

Completely serious, mass produce those I'd rock one just as a little bit of an F you to Cali and Flo-grown guys. I'd definitely buy one. You're from Houston, or where? I'd probably want a Cen Tex.

Mikey, keep the 150. Modding a diesel costs 5 times as much, then they blow up, and you pull out a second mortgage to fix it.

I have plenty of them, let me know if you want one! Lots of different colors.

Oh yeah I'm aware of the diesel costs lol. Buddy blew a transmission on his cummins and it was spendy lol

I second (or third or fourth this, whatever we're at now). Some blue pods on your truck would look killer Mikey!
