Wrapped her in Cooper Discover AT3 4s. Was gonna go 33" but decided to keep it Original with 275/55R20 32.653" (i think if I'm not mistaken) Love the way they Look.
Yes I know I still need to clean them. It was raining.
Getting it ready for a trip to Utah this weekend and willing be pulling our travel trailer. Put tow mirrors, removed bakflip for bikes and put on factory wheels. Washed as well.
Fluid film and spray gun arrived, so crawled under the Beast and shot the entire underside. Interesting that a day later it looks like a new truck with how it has a nice clean sheen to it and the rust spots kind of disappear. The F150 sits too low so will get the lifts out some day this week and give it a full treatment. I only got the front and rear wheel areas treated last time it was up, ran out of what I had in spray cans. The cats find the smell interesting, they were all over me sniffing my shirt afterwards.
I also discovered that if you want to strip colonite(sp?) wax off, just spill diesel on it, takes it right off. I had washed and waxed the Kubota, and started cutting grass, about 45 minutes later needed to fuel up and the wind splashed diesel all over while I was pouring it in. Rinsed it off and washed it again and everywhere the diesel spilled, no more wax. Everyplace else was beading up nicely. aside from some scratches though, that 19 YO tractor still shines up nice.
Finally added fender flares. The 35x12.50s with 1.5 and 2 inch Bora spacers where throwing crud all over the body. Went with pocket style since there where cheap in the Amazon warehouse (a few months ago). Mounting hardware was wrong so I had to source new mounting screws. All in all came out ok.
Still feeling these out. Not loving the chrome-ish bolts. Might paint those black or swap to raptor-style. We’ll see.

I used them for my fender flares and my brother used them on his for his 4Runner. The only thing is they don't come with black washers so you either have to find black washers or buy them
The wife & I took a day trip to Grandfather Mountain State Park not long after I installed it on my last truck (a 2WD). It was very helpful coming back down to maintain the set speed without constantly holding the brake pedal.
Thanks for sharing. Interesting hearing the different use cases for this feature.
After washing, de-bugging, clay-barring, and waxing with Collinite 845 last weekend, this weekend I washed the truck and applied a good coat of Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax. I don't think the pictures do justice to how gorgeous the finish is.
Of course, since my truck is Magma Red, it began showing dust and dirt about three seconds after I snapped the last picture!
