Are these stock rims blacked out with no centers? Or something different?

Talking about a smile on the face, I have the SCT tuned for street on my Ex now, and well, I was spinning the tires yesterday in the dry, it is like a beast has been woken up!
Thanks David, I tried the EX for 1 hour on stock settings and now I have it set at my most aggressive tune lol... Feels nice to burn up 35's don't it

Don't run that high strung bull hard then gas it up, they like to light off and burn, another one (yellow also) just burnt down at the gas pump in Richmond VA this past week.
Lucky for me I can still run

Was up in Greenwich back in July, but I rented a Bently convertible ( really love that car). This one is more like a toy.

Today I swapped out the sway bar end links (HOLY **** THEY WERE BAD BAD BAD, like falling apart bad) and changed the serpentine belt to a green heavy duty fleet runner belt.


Easy day with the EX, took like an hour tops.

So, I was reading here about a SEMA F-150, and I just had to see what it would look like as an SUV... I know the Expy is based off of the F-150, but could you imagine a new Ex looking like this?

Everybody that I know that has them or has had them really liked them and got good mileage and traction out of them.

I have Nitto's, and they have been a solid tire so far, I know nothing about Hankook tires...

How do the Nittos and Hankook compare to BFG All Terrain? I've gotten over 72k miles on my BFG All Terrains so far...probably need to replace them soon.

I just replaced Hankook ATM's with Nitto's. Granted I have the trail grappler's now rather than the Terra's. but I do know for a fact that the Hankooks were a harder compound. Got a good 45k miles out of them. For the price - they're not too bad.

Well, while you guys were out driving your Lambos and spooling turbos for the love of the sound, I took my son to his hockey game, which I also coach, and they won, 4-1. My boy scored 2 with 1 assist. When we got home, I installed an HPX. I win.

Edit: Ok, while I was installing the HPX, I had my intake tube off. I noticed some dust in the tube. I removed the dust cover from the 6637 and noticed it was dirty. Im wondering if there is a better filter system than the 6637. I looked at the options on RiffRaff and not sure what to get. I want something that fits well, high flow and is decent quality. Or, should I just order a fresh 6637?? Thanks for the input.

i never get more then 25k out of a set of tires so that doesnt really concern me. I'm not looking for the Ex but my F-150 its really hard to find tires i want (a/t) and like in the size i need...305/40 (want 45's more) 22" so i'm down to Cooper Zeons, Hankook Dynapros and Nitto Terra's.

It's been awhile since I talked to Clay about this, but I know he used to like the S&B setup a lot.

If there is dust getting in you want to check connections. It probably isn't the filter, but a boot connection leaking.
