Default FX4 Build.

I haven't really had the chance to show any updates that I have made on my truck so I figure I would start this thread.

Suspension - 2.5 Autospring level. 3 inch blocks. Tires - 295/60r20 nitto terra grapplers.
Audio - full JL audio speakers, 2 10 inch JL W3's under the rear seat.
Craven Speed shorty antenna.
Windows tinted. And low pro black diamond plate tool box.

In the works I am painting to match my fender Flares as well as the mirror caps and a grill change.
I am also planning on only running these wheels and tires for the winter and plan to put bigger wheels and tires on when winter is over

Looks good. Thanks for sharing.

You mentioned painting your flares to match. Are you planning to buy new ones and paint them, or so you plan to paint your OE flares?

The reason I ask. The OE flares are textured. I don't think you'll be happy with the outcome of painting over the texture. It will dull the look of the paint and almost make it look a different color.

Haven't honestly decided. Since I waited this long to do it I may end up waiting til after winter to prevent fresh paint from being exposed.

Your truck looks great. The bigger tires on the stock 20's looks good. I can just imagine the sound of your audio system with those 2 JL subs in the back. Congrats

Default Bigger AT tires

Looks great, I have been searching for pics of an FX4 with larger tires on the grey 20" wheels and looks pretty good. I figure if you go to the 35" that a leveling kit will be required, right?

I like the streamline look of the 275/55 but going to switch it up this time. I am sure I could go 275/60 and maybe even 275/65 without having to level out without rubbing.

Thanks!

Yeah your gonna need atleast a pretty big leveling kit to run a full 35 inch tire. Mine come out to 34.5x12.3 roughly. And I think I am at my max tire size for a leveling kit.
