PSA check the air pressure in your tires. The recent spike in temps have caused them to rise unexpectedly (at least in my case). I was putzing down the road in the Expy wondering why it was driving funny. The tires were all at 41 psi. I put them back to 35 psi each and all was better.

Oh man...
How is everyone doing? I have not been on the site in a long time with deployment and all that. I just got back from Italy! After seven months there you get a little tired of Italian food! I live in Hampton and have the White 02 scab step side bed FX4 6" fabtech with toyo 35's. I just spent big bucks on the truck for new ball joint kit(a-arms, tie rod ends, and lower joints) new u-joints, headers and true duels, and am going to buy new plugs, cops, and injectors. When I started driving again I noticed a huge mpg decrease! I dont know what else to change besides cleaning the filter, and new fuel filter. I also just got new 35x12.50r18 toyo muds for 1200 shipped to the house off ebay. Please let me know if I got ripped off. Hope everything is well for all!

Any pics of the truck? Ive probably seen you around im in hampton too, i use to have the white 01 supercrew with the wolf in the back window, lift,rims and lots of other do-dads.


here's my new rig


What's your old and new mpg, and 1200 for new toyo's in 35in size isnt bad, they prob run 250-350 a piece anyway.

I have seen your old truck around! I used to live off of fox hill. I will get a pic of the truck up soon. I love the new FX4. I am going to list mine for sale here soon then look into getting another white FX4 in screw. How is the diff lock? That is the reason I am going to get new. I normally would not I am a fan of buying used. I really like the 07-08 FX4's...but I want the diff lock so I am stuck with the not so good looking front end of the 2010's. The rest of the truck is awesome though! I like the color. I might get white or the blue cause I am a fan of yamaha dirt bikes and quads. Hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend around the Hampton roads area!

really? I like them better than the 08's. I would like to get some HID's or Darker led head and taillights. I also want to get a set of grille inserts for inbetween the grille bars.



I've used the rear locker a few times out at nags head pulling a couple trucks out. And used it once on an icy snow covered steep hill. So far i love it, just wish i could lock it in 2wd.

I wonder if there is a way to put the raptor front end on the truck? I love the looks of it and you could build a much cheaper "raptor" f150 with less money. Or take the money I would spend of the raptor and have a really BA f150...supercharged to haha. My MPG in the truck was really bad I only got 275 on a tank last week. How is yours with the lift and tires? Are you going to re-gear?
