CuNmUdF250, I always like seeing pictures of your truck, I really like the look of it. Hoping to get a similar stance on mine. I'm sure you've said it before but what size tires/wheels and lift are you running? Any rubbing issues with those tires? Truck looks good. Now you just need some new headlights and it'd look even better.
Thanks RedDevil....the tires are Toyo mt 35/12.50/16 on some older style Centerline wheels 16x10......back has the F350 block and the front is stock......tires do rub on plastic liner on hard turns especially right turns.....will probably lift the front a couple of inches eventually.....yeah those headlights do look bad,maybe change those too......she's taken a back seat to the F150 but I still love her
Yeah...how dare you! I like your signature pic's quote as well. I would like to live by that myself, but my wife doesn't appreciate the idea. I used to enjoy exploring. That also means I need better places to explore...haven't had much luck in CT.
Trey and Russ, both looking great! I finally got around to installing the small amber LED's in my running boards, they've been sitting on my workbench for months. My phone camera really picks up a stark color difference in the LEDs (running boards/mirrors) and the traditional bulbs in my headlights and clearance lights...in real life the color seems much more uniform.
And Trey, keep the pictures that don't include your truck coming too, they're beautiful even without the presence of a SD!

Thanks for the info man! Good to hear that the rubbing isn't too bad. I'm currently running some pretty bald 33's on a similar setup to yours. I've got stacked blocks in the rear, the same height as the F350 blocks. Would like to swap those out for a solid 4" block someday, but I think they're ok for now. But in the front I've got a 2-3" lift. Its a 2" mine spring pack and an add-a-leaf (I think, there's 3 springs in the front, which I don't think is stock). That was all on the truck when I got it about a year ago, along with the 33's which are getting pretty bald now. When I get new tires I definitely want to go with 35's. I would also like to do a full 4" lift too, but am thinking I might need new tires before I can do the lift. I wanted to go with some 16x10 wheels and 315/75/16 tires, but wasn't sure if they'd fit with my current setup. So you think they would fit on my truck? Mine is a diesel so it is heavier than your v10, but its also lifted in the front so maybe that would help? I know what ya mean, but as long as you treat them equally and don't forget about her, that's all that matters, haha. Your F150 looks real nice too.
Awesome pics Trey! Beautiful terrain. Trucks looking good too. Where do you get snow at in California? In the mountains I'm assuming?
Lookin good Russ. The LED's in the bumper? They look good, got any output pics?
I've noticed the same thing Lucas. A lot of the aftermarket bulbs are more of a yellow than orange. I got bulbs from superbrightleds and they are more of an orange like stock, but brighter. I'm pretty sure the Recon's are more of a yellow light. And the lights look good. I want to do something similar to mine but was thinking of doing 5 lights on each side instead of 3.
Thanks guys! It was quite cold up there. It was 9500' at the summit. I am not quite used to this weather. Its in the low 30s every night, with highs in the upper 40s* while I'm pounding pavement at work. I've never heard my truck high idle before a few weeks ago. Now its daily.

I feel like everyone outside of California thinks its just a giant beach and 76* year 'round! haha
Those particular pictures were taken at 9500'. So yes, in the mountains, but you dont need to go that high to find snow. We do have weather here! It may not get as cold as some places, but its still cold!

No, the white DRL's in the bumper have been there since 2011. They are just white LED reverse lights.
I just replaced the 194 marker lights in the corner lights and towing mirrors with amber LEDs.
Trey, I have a friend who was back home for the holidays. When she went back to Long Beach on Wed it was warmer in Anchorage when she left then when she got home. it was nearly 50F and raining here on Tues/Wed.
You remind me of a friend of mine who was involved in EMS and does excellent photography like you. He's in dispatch now but still involved with emergency services like search and rescue teams.
