I specifically asked for the Michelins when I ordered.

I see why you got them you have 20 inch rims. mine are 18s but I have seen a few trucks delivered recently with Michelin's I see your spare is not a Michelin. my 2015 had the same for spare as the truck

Ah, gotcha. 20vs18.

Yes, the spare is a GY Wrangler Kevlar-type tire. Hope I never need to use it.

I wish the Michelins were a little wider but they seem to be just big enough to not look too skinny. 275's now - will upgrade to 295's at some future time but may switch brands then - I don't think Michelin has the LTX M/S in a 295x65x20.

Nice looking truck. I have the same color, and I agree it is fantastic.

Tufskinz Brushed Silver are installed





Noticeable but subtle - I like the way they look. Super easy to apply.

H&S Intercooler pipe installed

Installed the stronger intercooler pipe today - no real advantage over OEM x/c it is made from stronger material and the hose clamps are seriously stout vs. OEM. Took about 30-40 minutes total, taking my time.

2017-2018 F250 & F350 6.7L H&S Intercooler Pipe Upgrade Kit 122008

^^^ You might want to rotate that upper clamp slightly, it looks awful close to that rubber hose from that angle.

I put a gentle tie wrap on the hose to pull it back and make sure it did not rub - good point. I also had a rubber vacuum line cap that I placed on the threaded rod to make sure it was rendered harmless. Can't hurt I figured...

White Platinum is a color option.

His SD is a Lariat.
