Before and after thread

I thought it would be cool to start a thread showing pics of our trucks when we got them and what they look like now with the mods you've done
This is my 2014 F350 shortly after I bought it

And 2 yrs later with 6" Zone lift on 37s and N-fab nerf bars

More mods to come: bumpers someday and winch

Thank you!

Here's a link to the flares:

I like them as well. They don't stick out too much but they do protect against rocks kicking up that get stuck in the tires.

You're looking good with those 37's! Do they rub at all? And have you noticed much difference towing with them with the 6.2?

Thanks for the link. I get a little bit of rub on the drivers side radius arm at full lock going thru a dip or bump. Not a big deal at all. As far as towing I don't tow a very big trailer other than my 18' bass boat. I carry my overhead camper on the truck but it's not a real heavy one. The tranny just downshifts more often now but the 37s are definitely noticeable with the 3.73 gears, not gonna lie

and currently, 315/75/16s, 2" front shackle lift, removed bed rails (would have kept if i had kept toolbox, or had they been longer for use without the toolbox), removed the ugly redish looking window visors (still gotta get the tape off, i now have smoked in-channel ones not installed in this pic), removed windshield visor, headache rack, 08+ rear tails and bumper. more mods to come of course. lol.

UFVJ, Nice rig! I and getting those tires next and my next one will be a 450 dually. As far as the color of mine it is the dark emerald green. Ironically I got a great deal on that topper. It was used, white and got it for $500 and the guy had it painted for another $300. $2500 cap for $800 installed
