Damn. I love those rims. Methods are manufactured in my hometown. I want a pair of 20"s.

Awesome truck bro. Props on the setup.

thanks dude! I'm surprised I haven't seen more method race wheels on this forum...I think they look awesome, I assume they're quality rims since baja trucks use them...and they're dirt cheap!

Yeah man. Best on the market! And they are cheap, I'm just having a hard time convincing my wife. The Standard in Black is my favorite model, like yours.

My new truck...



Stock height, stock 18" wheels, 33.2" Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs (275/70R18)

Looks decent enough with those tires at stock height and rides great so I think I'll probably hold off on the leveling kit.

Interesting that you are running 17's; while I understand that most like the larger 20's, I also like the 17's because you have more tire options and can get larger profile rubber on the truck--similar to the Raptor.

Nice wheels and black FX4!! If I dont go with a set of Raptor wheels/tires on my next truck ('13 FX4), I will consider the Methods.

What did you pay for them? I checked online, but their 'store' was down for some reason.

Sharp!!! Very nice, clean looking truck!!

I would go with the Sterling Gray again; but I want a change after having it on my '09, and will most likely go with White or still possibly the Black?

Why did you lose the FX4 decals? I think they look ok.

I'm just not a huge fan of any type of branding or badges. Detracts from the aesthetics and lines of the vehicle in my opinion. First thing I did when I got the truck home was pull those off.

I'm so glad I ended up getting Sterling. I almost bought white, agreed on the price and everything. Changed my mind at the last minute. I think Sterling will hold up better over time and will look better when dirty. It looks a little grittier too, maybe a bit more industrial. That's my opinion anyway. And black, oh man, I'll never buy a black vehicle again. You can barely see my black Audi in the driveway. I eventually gave up trying to keep it looking nice and sprayed it with bedliner. Love black when it's clean, but it's too much effort.

Got some HD taillight assemblies on the way, and I'm still trying to decide what to do with the headlights (HD or Recon). I'd also like to get some step bars in the near future (the ones with the 3rd step so I can take off the retractable steps). And I'm also thinking about trading it off on a '12 FX4 so I don't know what to do!

Love the truck! And about Recon.. I'm ditching mine because I can't see anything at night.. If you want them for actual light reasons.. Do not buy them! But they do look pretty cool!

Thanks, and I just want a headlight assembly that is sharp looking and I like the look of Recon's. But I'm sure the OEM HD headlight assemblies would satisfy me as well.
