I havnt been keeping track of miles but I only rotated them once after way to long and I swear they have outlasted my properly rotated bfg t/a ko's by a long shot. Never a flat yet and great off road. I'll never get expensive tires again when these m/t's outlast name brand a/t's

Here's a pic of my truck. The eBay heads and tails have gone to ****. The fuel door is permanently mud stained. Grill is cracked valence is ripped off.

My plan is to remove everything from the bumper and cut around the bottom so you can't tell it had a valence and I'm going to get a bull bar to hide the frame. I'm also looking at this grill to replace the broken 2wd one. I've already heard some input on the no valence idea but I'm not going to be swayed. This is my second tenth gen and I ripped the valence off both off roading so I'm not about to put one back on. Also I found a couple pics of another members truck and I feel the bull bar hides the frame like I'd hoped. I will take input on the grille into consideration though haha. Here's a pic of the truck I found with no valence and a bull bar. It's a look I can live with and you can't argue that it's an improvement over what it looks like now. https://www.ebay.com/itm/121531773350

Yeh no valance is definitely better than a busted valance. I bought a black billet grill off amazon and ended up having to roll sound proofing on to get rid of the awful whistle it had. Looks good now though. Lol

I really don't see how you beat a truck up that bad. My daily driver is off road in the brush and stuff all day every day and I keep it looking better than the day I bought it.

The mountain country of Nevada is hard on a truck. This is my work truck,hunting truck, off road truck and my daily driver. I'll admit I've neglected it quite a bit and also beat the **** out of it. I'm not proud of it and it's my goal to make it something I'm proud to look at again. But on the bright side it's nice to not worry about something like a scratch or dent when I'm using my truck as a truck. I'm hoping to get it looking like it wasn't so neglected and thrashed but with the body damage and stuff I'm not worried about what could happen to it while hunting or mobbing.
I want it to look like what it is. A bad *** 4x4 ford that's been used and abused

I think instead of a bull bar, if you're dead set on not putting a valance back on it, cut and bend a skid plate up to go from the center of the bumper to the front crossmember. It would look a lot less half assed and give it sort of a prerunner look.

That has crossed my mind but I don't really have the tools or time. My boat needs sealed, got a quad to fix, my snowmobile trailer needs a leaf spring and I gotta get my sleds in tip top shape before I store them for the stupid summer.
