Well I've had my X on the road since Saturday with the new 325/65-18(35x12.5) Terra Grapplers & all I can say is WOW!!! I love them! I'm still finishing up the truck but here's one pic I took this morning.

My good friend Richie at www.rmsoffroad.com did the lift for me. I have my own shop but when it comes to lifting & getting the truck to drive right he's by far the best I know. He has these Excursions so dialed in that my truck drives better then in stock form. It's not one lift kit, he takes the best parts from 3 different kits & makes one. I'll post some more pics after I finish it up this week(05 grill & painting/cleaning the undercarriage) but here's your side shot.

It does look good. I am not a fan of the "all" black but my stepfather is. He would absolutely flip over this.

I do like the wheel/tires set up you have though. Very nice looking!!

I am still a newbie at this stuff. Only had my X since beginning of April. Plan on making some changes as the stuff comes up. Before winter I will be doing new tires though, so I thank you all for your input on this thread regarding that area.

Later!!

I had a set of the Silent Armours on my 98 Expedition, had 55000 miles on them and still had at least half tread. Best winter tire I have ever used, and wear like iron. I am currently trying like heck to wear the BFGs off my Ex so I can put on a set of Silent armours before the snow flies!

I had the Nittos, beings as we are in the slighly mountainous terrain here, I only got about 35k out of them, great tire, loved them, just didn't wear like iron, but they did have great traction.
