I aint knocking ya its definatly not a common practice around here, and no we don't have snow. Lol. Though how can you even use 4x4 on the road? I still think its a sharp *** truck, and that sound system is furking awesome I see why your needed a crew cab.

Ya, most people aren't too familiar with seeing a lowered truck. That's why I like it so much Love my stereo too!! I'm gonna try and get some vids of it one of these days, but I still want to go bigger (like, remove back seat entirely bigger. Lol). This stuff is addictive. And what do you mean by how do I use it on the road? If the roads are bad enough I don't go faster than 60/70 km/hr and 4x4 is safe to there. Also, if I happen to be on a road that hasn't been plowed yet then it comes in handy for breaking trail. Lol

Well if you're driving in 4x4 at highway speeds on a dry highway, absolutely it'll be hard on it. That's why if I feel the need to use it, I don't go full speed, an only on icy roads. Last winter I drove a 150 km stretch of highway with 4x4 engaged at 60km/hr. Passed well over 40 vehicles in the ditch, and even had my rear end kick out on me a couple times. But there was no problem with running 4wd the whole time.

[QUOTE=clpeller;1207812]Lower bumper grille built and installed




How did you build your lower grills like that to match your uppers? They look sweet and i'm totally intrested in that, as i haven't been able to find anything i like to fill up my lower hole of my ecoboost... Great job on the rest of the truck too!

I bought a cut out grille off of a member on here. He had replaced his with a billet insert and sold me his cut out for cheap. I then cut it to fit, JB welded some metal tabs on it, and bolted it to the black boxes. Thanks for the compliments too!
