Default Recent mods.

This is what she looked like a couple of weeks ago.





So far I've tinted the windows, put a fx2 grille, plasti dipped all the emblems, edge programmer and newer f150 rims.

I have a 2.5" hell bent steel leveling waiting to go on but I want to buy more aggressive tires. Anybody have ideas for tires? It's a 2wd

If it was me, I would get a new rear bumper first. You have a real clean truck but those dents stand out. I think your tires are big enough to look great with the leveling kit. You can upgrade them later once those ones wear out. Just my opinion...

My Nitto Terra Grapplers have been great for me. Pretty aggressive for an all terrain. Not too much whine going down the freeway. But they are pretty stiff because they are 10 ply, Load E. I have had them for about 90,000 KM now and they still have about half tread left so mine are wearing quite well. A lot of people have burnt through them a lot quicker than that for though. I think it might be a difference in compound from Load D to Load E but don't quote me on that. Maybe people just like to spin them a little too much haha

I like the look. I wish you were closer I would trade you my new Kanati mud hogs on stock 18" powder coated black. If I were you I would lower the rear to match the front.

I got them at Walmart years back. I would think auto part stores would have them.
