My 6.2 in PUTC and pics w/ new wheels

I see it hasn't made it's way over here yet so I'll go ahead and post about it. My 6.2 Raptor was used in the pickuptrucks.com review, along with Four Wheeler Magazine (on their blog now but in print later). I took my truck out to Mike Levine and along with Sean Holman from Four Wheeler, we went out for a full day of flogging. Had a great time and those two guys are awesome and very knowledgeable. First and foremost, when you see the mpg and 1/4mi. & 0-60 time, don't even sweat them because the whole day was spent driving around in a nasty wind....which turned into about a 30mph headwind during the acceleration test's. Here's the link...http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2010/04...vt-raptor.html

Here's a couple of pics from that day along with a few from what the truck looks like now after I put on my new wheels and window tint.

Very NICE!

Hey what does the payload sticker say in your door jam? I wonder how different that # is from a 5.4L Raptor.

Excellent truck! Personally I like the factory wheels better, but its not my truck right? Did you increase tire size? And if so, how's the ride? I applaud the tint addition also, and agree with those that are saying "bedliner!"
