Before and After

Swapped back to oem tires and wheels after thief tried to take
my truck. Thought it might take some attention away from
it. I guess the oem's doen't look too bad with the Fatboy next
to them. Let me know what you think.

Tell you what you can do.

You can put those awesome looking aftermarket wheels back on your truck.

Sale me your factory 17"s and use the $ to invest in an alarm or a 12ga, your pick.

Yes, this is my second attempt at putting pictures
in my post. I finally got the forum to coorporate. Thanks for
the offer of the 12 ga., but I already have enough guns and
I can't watch the truck 24/7. I already sold the tires and
wheels and yes I lost money. I'm thinking seriously about
getting an aftermarket alarm and maybe some more wheels
later.

I liked your "before"

What kind of exhaust do you have.... or did you just put on dual tips.

My exhaust were custom built at a local shop in the Houston
area. They are true duals with each pipe coming from a separate
manifold. I also have two, 40 series flowmasters. One on
each pipe. The sound is awesome. Not too loud but it has a
mean growl when idling. I went with this setup because I
really don't care for the catback systems with 2 tips sticking
out the end. Also, I could do this legally because Ford
includes 2 catalytic coverters on their trucks. One off each
manifold.

The before was much better. I never thought I would want after market wheels and rims because I went with 18" from factory but that setup looks sweet. Sad to see you give in to a bunch of punks. That what insurance is for. Anyway what did the custom exhaust set you back.

I'd put the other wheels back on.

Just my personal opinion.

Cost for the exhaust was very cose to $500. I think it was well worth it.

DUDE - Sweet wheels! Get that alarm!!! F150's are in the top 10 stolen list (like you don't know this allready).

BTW what size make model were they?

You have good taste (bike included).

Bummer! I live in the Houston area also and have a difficult time leaving my '04 unattended. It's getting bad, even thieves attempting stuff in your own driveway. We almost need to start packing after those gangs performing holdups on people getting out of their vehicle in their own driveway.
