Default Fresh convert here

Hi all! In 2012 I purchased my truck and joined one of the other forums because it was the first one that popped up on google. Lately that forum has really been headed down hill and I just needed a change.

Anyways, I've always been into cars, fast and modified. In 2012 it got to the point that my car was bordering on street legal, so I decided I'd pick up a truck to haul it to events as well as get me up to the mountains to snowboard. After weeks of searching I found my truck and bought it from the original owner with only 60k on the clock. Right off the bat I did plugs, brakes, belt, t case fluid, tranny fluid, front and rear diff fluid, and some other things.

The wheel and tire set up on my car changes monthly, so the f150 also benefits from a fresh set now and again. On to some pics

Shortly after bringing her home, threw some 33x12.5x18 inch toyo mts on the factory fx4 wheels



During the summer I tinted the windows and threw on some 18x9 XD rockstars and 275/70/18 toyo mts.



Got sick of looking like every other kid around here who got the Les Schwab special so I started looking for some real wheels. Found the Moto Metal 951s and the 33x12.5x20 toyo mts and bought them that night, Cleaned them up over the winter and threw them on in the spring.



And here are some other pictures from this summer of the gf and I at the beach







And my s14


Anyways, I'm not always on but do enjoy looking at others rides and helping out when I can.

Very. Right now I can't get any traction. Granted I've been doing drifting more than auto x recently, so wheel spin is what I'm going for, but this is no bueno. I think my next more is to switch to a higher offset wheel, that way I can run a wider wheel and a wider tire.

A million ways to work around the problem, but you should be able to get 12" wide tires under there to help. Fun problem to have.
