I loved your blue truck and didn't even realize you got rid of it. What was the story there? I really liked the Method wheels on that truck.

I took the wife shopping for a 16 Escape and they offered a ridiculous amount of money for trade for my truck. I didn't plan on trading but we traded her Focus and my truck on the Escape. I spent about 5 months in a 13 Taurus SHO, loved the car but missed being in a truck.

I loved the way the Method's and 35's looked on the blue truck but I can't seem to trade off the Raptor wheels yet......maybe down the road.

Went ahead and ordered a set of 35" Nitto Trail Grapplers. Discount Tire has a hell of deal going on right now on their ebay store.

Got all 4 for $1088.

Looking forward to seeing those Raptor wheels with those new tires. Should be a mean combination.

Grabbed a few pics after leaving discount tire. Truck looks much better with the taller, more aggressive tires. The truck is filthy due to the rain/snow/cold crap we've had this week.

UCA clearance

I did have to do some trimming to the front valance and zip tied the fender well back just for additional clearance. Very pleased with the look.

Now the Auxbeam bar, giant waste of $100. Even with the fish eye lense it's a giant flood light and has a blue tint, almost a 6000k color. For now it stays just to fill the space behind the grill. Eventually I'll probably do a raptoid grill and place the bar lower to make some use of it.

If I'm not mistaken, and I could very well be, the heated mirrors are powered by the rear window defroster.

I have both, and I'm almost 99% sure they are integrated. It's probably different if you have on or the other.
