Smile first pics of my baby

I just wanted to share the first pictures of my baby with some folks who can appreciate them. I like the Gibson super-truck exhaust that comes out in front of the rear tire especially after I put my original Harley tips on it. It sounds great.

Nice Truck How much has the handling improved with the lowering. And are you noticing a harder, bouncier ride on bumpy roads with the combo of the Toyos and the lowering? One Final ?--which rides better the Harley or the Lexus ?

Thanks casey k
The cornering is better but I do notice a few bumps that I didn't before. I think it is due to the lowering, because I didn't notice it with the Toyos. The tires are super sticky, I have them on both my vehicles. And for sure the Lexus rides better, but I love my truck.

It stands for Harley Davidson for Homer. Homer is a nickname I got stuck with several years ago. I have no idea how or why because my real name is Mike.

Hey John from NC: with rear end lowering to front assume you're still running with the Goodyears, which would be a softer compound than Toyos--notice any side to side hopping on bumpier roads. Even with Generals on F150 alum rims for winter, this truck still rides like it has a peformance suspension I've been surprised a couple of times with more side hop than expected on bumpier asphalt with the Goodyears. I'm used to low profile tires since my SVT Contour rides on Z rated rubber but its suspension deals with close undulations much better than the HD--not that I'd drive the HD like the SVT Does the 'look' of the truck change much with the lowering in your opinion. Right now got about 350# in the bed for winter and it still corners very flat with Generals or Goodyears. And as a retired cop, I know your need for speed--even tho the SVT is a bit of a sleeper I have drawn 2 tickets in the last year and both times the ticket writer wanted to know what kind of Ford I was driving. The HD thought head turning, hasn't been stopped yet--mileage still low, no excessive speed Drive on!
