OK, some up-dates on f450, been busy using it but finally had some time to get a few thing done.
Got the tires dismounted , brought rims home and sanded em and painted all 6 (that was a bit of work lol) then back to tire shop and new tires
New brake pads and some more paint here and there....she's starting to clean-up real nice
Used 4x4 on quite a few jobs...man that first gear low is nice!..like a rock crawler.
