RIV Customz
Hey fellow Ford lovers. I decided to join another truck forum and thought I'd re-release myself here. I started at F150online a few years back but booted myself off since I didn't believe it was justified in having to pay for a profile name change. I currently am a member of a general truck forum; it's nice to see what other brand owners do with their vehicles... and to show them up with my Ford. I also am on a smaller Ford forum; they are good people but sometimes traffic is slow. I love doing custom metal fabbing and welding but its just an official hobby, an unofficial business.
As far as Fords go, I have my F150 and I bought my o'lady a 2012 Ford Edge Sport. I also have a lowered 2002 Dodge Ram sport (that my bro-in-law recently crashed) a Scion Tc (my gas getter), and a Yamaha YZF600R. My pride and joy is the F150, thus, will be my focus here.
Here is the truck the day I got it, 6" ProComp susp, 3" PA body with 35's on 18's:
This is close to what it looks like now, minus some tinting of the lights and some front fiberglass fenders that aren't in these pics, same susp and body setup by with Fox remote resi coilovers cranked 3" with 40" ProComp Xterrains on 20" MotoMetal 909s:
New pics coming up in the next few weeks. I have a new setup in the shipping process to include a 12" Bulletproof Suspensions lift (I will keep the 3" body), Fox 2.5 remote resi coilovers up front with custom black and fire engine red decals and fire engine red coils, 2.5 Fox remote resi emulsions and 10" Atlas leaf springs with my current 2" blocks for the rear, 20x12 MHT Fuel Octane wheels wrapped in 40x15.5R20 Toyo Mts, cowl induction hood from reflexxion, and I'm working on fabbing some rear traction bars, bed/light bars, and a tiregate strong enough to hold a full size spare, a jerry can, and my Hi-lift jack. Everything is already bought and paid for, minus some metal I need for fabbing. I don't expect to have everything in for another week or so.
I'm happy to be here. Call me RIV. I look forward to sharing.

Love your truck and that you fab a good amount of your stuff. Just one question, what gearing you have in there with the 40's? I'm thinking of going higher with mine but would like advice from someone who has driven it.
