The Fox set up settled right, the nose went down a bit, the ride quality is great, i wont say its a Lexus but the difference is noticeable. Will try it later offroading.

So....
I went bashing some dunes. I went a bit slow so i didnt feel any significant difference just the fact that it was a smooth run.
Then i hit the Kuwait rally track. I set the shocks to the softer preset, WOT it, OK! Its worth every penny!!!!! 😁😁😁

I didn't realize this was your truck! I love it, I wish they still made the short bed supercabs when I got mine.

Yep this is my truck
I wish it too!! Actually a few months back I was thinking of selling and getting a 12/13 with the 5.0, but the bodystyle held me back.
Nevertheless, the engine performs good, adding the tune.

Been long since i last updated this thread!
Marry Xmas and Happy New Year everyone!!

The Truck is doing great, i had some mishaps here and there but all is good, i didnt add a thing since, Just lowered the front a bit and wanted to change the rear blocks but it was unnecessary.
Oh yeah i did change the tranny cooler. I got the 14 cooler, the one with 10 fins. no more overheating when offroading!

I do not have any plans yet, but the idea of letting it go soon comes and goes.

Has the Kuwaiti winter been treating you well? Glad the truck is working well for you.

I had that same feeling, actually sold mine last month, just got to the point where it wasn't getting used nearly enough

the problem is that i dont really know where to go from there.
Should i go for the New F150 or wait for the Raptor, or change routes.

How's your friend with the Chevy Colorado doing with all the places you've been?
