Default Realist alive fx4 build

Created a thread in the wrong part of the forum, I asked a moderator to move my build to the proper forum. I have not gotten a response so this will be the official build thread.

I will start with a little background. I have always jumped from truck to car to truck. The latest jump was from:
98 Tacoma on 31x12.5 BFG AT

Then 03 350z lowered

Now 08 F150 FX4


The Truck in this photo has
EXTERIOR
:

AMP RESEARCH STEPS
8" BDS LIFT KIT
SPEC-D SMOKE LED 3RD BRAKE LIGHT
SPEC-D ALTEZZA TAIL LIGHT SMOKE

PERFORMANCE:
K&N AIR INTAKE
MAGNAFLOW SINGLE EXIT EXHAUST

TIRES & WHEELS:
355/60/R20 TOYO OPEN COUNTRY A/T (37X14)
20x10 DJ1091 GLOSS BLACK CANNON WHEEL

Beautiful truck Alive. What made you go with Toyo A/T's over the M/T's? at 37's its not as though you're saving on fuel in any case, hah. And that Saleen grill is just so clean looking. Good picks and pics!

95% on road driving, tire noise at higher speeds, and the AT clean out very well in the mud. I know i could have a much more aggressive look, but I am very happy with my choice. not to mention at these sizes with 20s tire selection becomes very limited and decently expen$ive.

Yeah absolutely. I wanted to move to Goodyear Duratrac's for my new set of tires, but I simply can't find any vendors up here locally that have sizes I'm interested in. I'd still get'em now if it weren't for the fact that I want tires and rims from the same place, and its been so difficult to find the two that i'm interested in offered at one place.

Keep those pics coming in any case, awesome looking truck

$690, I could have gone for a much cheaper kit but the important part to me is a quality air system that I wont have to upgrade in the future. hopefully installing on monday
