Default Norcal Cyclist's buildout

Recently I purchased a new to me 2011 FX4 in Race Red. I swore it would remain stock but I'm a hot rodder so here I am. I own Valley Motorwerks and Pointsix Motorsports we do a lot of road racing and BMW performance upgrades. My past is littered with heavily modified road and race cars.

My current "toy" is a Supercharged M3 that puts out over 550Hp.



My brother just bought my 2010 Mini Cooper S that we massaged a bit too.



My current race car is a 1999 BMW 323i - it is setup for US Touring cars and German Touring car series



Now for the truck..

As delivered with 27k miles

Got my 2.5" level kit and wheels / tires on the truck. I also installed an Edge programmer and made the speedometer adjustments.

lookin good, but you should look into painting the edges of the taillights.

Great looking rig, I really like the Race Red on the 2011s. One of the best colors on the new trucks.

Installed a Smittybilt road light bar and PIAA driving lights. I also had the front of the truck clear bra'd to prevent paint chipping. I have a Coachworks lower grill but I need to trim it around the Smittybilt mounts.
