that f250 is kinda fugly if ya ask me.. too much rim and too little rubber.. those look like toyo m/ts.. but there's no way you could go "mudding" in any tire like that.. lol, kinda defeats the purpose of driving a big rig like that and tryin to be gangsta at the same time.. but whatever floats ya boat

dayum fx4life, almost 24k.. lol.. props to you for workin so hard, but shyt I woulda spent some of that elsewhere, no supercharger yet? heck for about another $3500 you could look into gettin a non ic roush installed.. did you say you take your truck to shows? anywho.. your cash, your truck.. either way, its a nice setup

I've spent less than 7k and I'm pretty happy with my setup.. only things I would imagine upgrading in the future would be a new sound system and alarm, but the Audiophile is holding me over for now.. a sc would be nice, but I don't think I really need it.. I never race, even then.. a Tundra woulda prolly still beat me..

Thanks man. I think we all have good looking blue ovals. Id love a SC but like you said dont really need it, plus its always been on the mod list its just way way down on the priority list. At most shows i dont even open the hood. Id suggest everyone with a good lookin modded truck enter a show sometime, its really a good time.

Try hooters. www.carsroadshow.com that is a good little show. Once you do a bigger show or just go to one, most times people drop flyers for other shows in your drivers seat or just hand um to you and at each show people tell you of more and you get more and more flyers. Id search for car/truck shows in your area on google.

wow...some of yall have spent some serious chedder on your trucks. However, when your mods exceed the value of the truck, whats the point? I mean obviously your truck isn't worth anything near what you put into it. So when you get ready to sell it whats going to happen? Not trying to be an @$$ but just a realist.

Well, in short im never parting with the truck, plus we got a smoking deal on it in 2005 when we bought. I also say why not spend away? Im young, no commitments, not many bills, school is paid for so is most living (as long as im in school, doing well) which means any money i bring in is for whatever (in my case truck mods). I just cant see someone else caring for this truck as much as i have and do or appreciating the work and time i put into it. id mod it till there was nothing left to mod, but im trying to find a stopping point with this one so i can 1.) finish school and 2.) start saving for the PSD and its mods

Ill just give it a big(ger) brother in the driveway

Intake: FREE (won it from FRAM during their giveaway)
Tonneau: $800.00 installed
