I'm still a little new to the site but...
Just received my new tires, 5 285/75R17 Toyo M/T
Raptor up lifter switches
Tail gate cap, clip broke and is driving me crazy hanging out a little
Smoked 3rd brake light
Interior LED conversion
Billet Badges Oval and rectangle
Optima battery and billet hold down tray!

Now just need to find the time to get it all installed.

I mostly lurk around here (my first post)

Heres what I did this weekend

-17 x 9 KMC VD Addicts -12 offset
-35 x 12.5 Kumho Road Venture MTs

I can honestly say this set up isnt for the weak hearted, lots of trimming. I was up to it though as my dad and I have a makeshift shop of sorts.

Previous mods include:
-2.5 level
-Smoked tails
-modded exhaust
-aftermarket grill

....yes I know the tire is facing the wrong way in the last pic, I just positioned it for comparison

Those tires do look great!

Ordered a new set of lugs for my Roush wheels with locking lugs. Instead of the 130 from the McGard site, 61 with free 3-5 day shipping on Amazon for the same 6 lug kit. Good deal Can't wait to get them back on

Replaced my passenger rear window regulator. $170 from the ford dealership. Literally drove 2 miles down the highway then, BAM, passenger front window regulator went out. Fixed that one with JB weld because I refused to shell out another $170 in parts.
