I like it! Looks very substantial, and capable. I can't really describe it, but I do like it!

Looks GREAT! Nice Mods! Wheels/tire combo looks SWEET with your lift! Thanks for the low pic from the front that shows how the wheel/tire sits!

Default 7/27/18 Update!

All,

So I have always hated the look of that Air Dam and yesterday i took it off! It can be done. I also had sawed off the 3 little fasteners as well. It all turned out very smooth and sleek and provided a little more ground clearance.

Just wanted to give an update.

If you guys would like pictures please let me know.

***Windows to be tinted tonight! As well as BDX Tuner***

Very nice! I think those rims go very well with that color. Congrats! I'm sure you're excited about the new look of it.

I was going to mention the air dam. A lot of us, me included, trimmed it way back. Full on removal works too.

Looks great.

What kind of mpg are you getting now with the 35" and the 2.7L?

Currently have not had the speedo calibrated yet... apparently my Bully dog tuner isn't recognizing the "newness" of the truck yet. I went through the configuration and it says unrecognized vehicle after selecting the "Ford Gas 08 Newer" tab. I'm waiting to get a good handle on it, just so i know the computer and calculator isn't acting funky.

I will say this, I took an ATV trip to Idaho City from Boise, ID this past weekend hauling an 800lb ATV, multiple passengers and gear, through pretty up and down mountainous terrain, and got almost 16MPG... Incredible in my opinion. Better than I expected.

Nothing makes me chuckle more than filling it all the way u with gas and the estimated tank range is almost 700 miles...

As soon as I get the speedo calibrated and that stuff, I'll believe what I am seeing moreso.
