First post!..30 months and 96000 km later (pics coming)
Hey everyone! Bought truck new in March 2011. First addons were the seat covers and floormats (weathertech). After 10k I added a K&N drop in and a magnaflow muffler. Only noticed a slightly louder grumble. At about 20k I added a Roush CAI and am extremely happy with it. I then added a MBRP stainless SI/SO catback and couldn't be happier with it. Very deep (bubbly?lol) grumble and really comes alive with the throttle. Lots of compliments on the combined sound with the CAI from young and old. Added the Volant Vortice TBS and other than a slight whistle cant say much about it. Went to BFG AT KO in LT275/70/17 before those mods which were quite a bit heavier than stock michelins and cooper discoverer M/S I ran in winter ( excellent winter tire) and mileage went down approx. 1-2 mpg and I will say after the mods I gained them back ( I average 12l/100km over the life of my truck). I do regular oil changes with Motorcraft filter and Mobil 1 synthetic and follow the scheduled maintenence. I also undercoat every september. Truck just rolled over 96000km and I cant complain. I still love it. So over the last month i purchased Fast Detonator wheels in 17x9, 305/65/17 BFG AT KO, Bilstein HD shocks and struts and an AutoSpring 2.5"/add-a-leaf kit and they are getting installed tomorrow! Can't wait to see how it turns out. Did lots of research here and this site really helped with my decisions so thanks! Anyways sorry for the length and i will be adding pics tomorrow when shes finished.. would love to hear any input! Thanks!
