No Way, you have to change your ID. There is only one Strokin It 7.3 here. You will never live up to Kris's rep. Oh, BTW welcome to FTE.

I have to agree with this! It is a little too similar.

Welcome to FTE, you'll spend most of your net time on here and the other half draining the bank account.

no rubbing.. i zip tied the inner plastic fender back a little bit and had to but the plastic part on the bumper where it raps around that's all.. i'm really not sure on the backspacing though on the wheels, i bought them used for a pretty good deal ($300 with 35's already mounted on them that i got about another 5,000 miles out of)

Well.....there are plenty of ways on here to SAVE money also. Just by reading and asking questions you can troubleshoot tons of things, and save money by not buying the wrong parts, and also by learning how to do the work yourself. I know I have become a LOT more confident and I'm not scared to do things myself anymore! All thanks to everybody on FTE.....another great reason to become a supporter!
