I'm going down to oregon this week to the dunes, I'll see how it tows compared to my 97 dakota. maybe I'll take it out in the sand.. ok, probably not its still too new
The fabtech rides really nice, almost too soft. I hate the 4" blocks, anyone get some custom springs done?

With the blocks do you notice any axel wrap or wheel chatter when you come out of corners. I have the pro comp six inch lift on my truck and notice it sometimes when i come out of corners. I think if i got rid of the blocks it would stop. Yeah and the coilovers make the truck ride super smooth for a inch lift. Truck looks good man congrats.

I think my next mod would be a driveway.

How do you get away with tinting the windows like that? In Ca., I'd get pulled over in a heartbeat. I heard that tinting the windshield was a violation of federal law, not just state law. Have you been stopped for this yet?

xplan was like 35670 with 2500 in rebates. so 33170
except I took the rebate.. I knew I wouldnt come up with the $5300 for the lift and tires for awhile so that helped!!
man those tires are spendy, I thought 225 for swampers was bad on my dakota. I think the toyos were 366.ea

so I have a web site for everything else of mine. I had to get one for the f150.
nothing on it yet but www.myfx4.com

and the rest
my bike www.xb9s.com
my quads www.raptorous.com
my old truck(for sale) www.magnumdakota.com

so I hopped in my dakota, not having driven it cense I bought the f150, and noticed how much better I liked the gearing. the f150 w/35 and 3.73's isnt going to cut it. The dak had alot more pull to it. I'll have to race them side by side...
I think I'll start saving for 4.56's
