Very nice ride man. I just put 2010 fx4 rims on. I know you don't want to, but I put window tint on my fogs, that I always have on, and can't notice any loss of output.

I'm kicking myself because I passed up a set of those 2010 wheels/tires for $400. Tires had 60% tread left, nut I still wish I had bought them. Your truck looks good, I like the black with gray. I'm going to do my bumpers and wheel flares gray probably next spring

Yeah, $500 on eBay. I needed tires for my 18" rims and that was going to be $900, so how could I not. Plus there is only about 3/4000 mi on them. Btw, my next truck will silver or gray, black is nice for about an hour and a half.

05 4x4 Triton-yeah I was scared when the mechanic showed me the plug. I was like oh great, now there is metal in the cylinder but he showed me the metal just bent over and only some porcelain got in. He blew out each cylinder and all was good. I'm just happy only 4 broke, I thought for sure all 8 were going to
Masitile-wow what a great deal! I like black, but would not get one.

Hey thanks! I'm planning on painting the front and rear bumpers dark gray, along with the wheel flares. As for tires, I'd like to get some bfg at's. But if I come across a set of oem 20s again ill be gettin those since I'm not gonna take my truck off road again. It's just too nice imo and cleaning mud off is a lot of work lol

Check out eBay, the rims specific to our year always pop up for pretty cheap, and as you know someone will put the newer ones on there. Just gotta be ready to grab them.
