Niiiiiiice truck, and I say that to everyone, I thought last month was tough. Vote goes to Lim, well done sir. C'mon people only so many ways black out can be original. That is a very sweet 4x4 though. 1 thing ford certain, no matter what F150 are some sweet rides high or low.

^^ both of you above me I really appreciate the vote. I personally like the lifted truck also but your right theres only so many ways to black out a truck and lift it. Show the lowered street trucks some love.

I hate to be the photo police here but does anybody know for sure if "miklo48021" truck really even looks like that? I can't seem to find any other pics of it tucking wheel/tire like that and something about that photo just screams PS to me.

The truck isn't low enough to the ground for one and if those are the same wheels as his other pics they would have had to do some serious modification to get those things to tuck in the front. They stick out way to far to tuck in his other pics. The rear would be and easy fix but the front is a different story.

Just curious because I voted for him thinking it was layed out. If that is not a true representation of his achievable stance then my vote would have gone somewhere else. I personally think there should be a rule about photo shopping. Is there? I know some people just do it to make the colors pop but even then it is kind of a misrepresentation.

EDIT- I found one more pic that has the wheels tucked up in the fenders and it doesn't look near as photshopped but I'm still not convinced. 20+pics not like that and only 2 like. If mine was sitting like that I would have a lot more than 2 pics showing so.

If that is in fact the true stance then my hatts off to him because he performed a miracle getting those wheels to tuck in the front.

They are supposed to present an actual photo. Here is the wording from the invite:
2. The photo (hosted at f150online.com ONLY) that you want to be utilized for voting for TOTM. Please send a direct link to the picture (again, it must be hosted at f150online.com!)

It is assumed that a photo shop is not acceptable. A pic might be enhanced some but should not be photoshopped.

Milt, I believe them to be real. I am sure that to get it to lay out with that big of a wheel and for them to still be straight up and down the control arm mounts had to have been moved, or different control arms.

My concern was more with the offset. Look how far those wheels stick out past the fenders in his other pics. Shortening the axle in the rear would be and easy fix to get them to tuck out back but pulling them in that far in the front would take some serious work.

I am not stating that I know 100% for sure that those layed out photos are photoshopped I was just curious to see if anybody knew for sure.
