Nice truck. Do you by chance have a picture from the side view - looking at the tire width? I have the exact same wheels and want to put 295x60x20's on but would like to see how far out they stick from the wheel well if at all. Also, what tire is that? Thanks.
I can try tomorrow to take some, but they don't stick out at all. Pretty even with the body panel. Actually only about 1 1/2 inches wider than the stock Wrangkers it came with.
These are Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Feels like a great tire. Smoother than the Trail Grapplers I previously had, no noise, feels sure footed in the rain. Did well in the little snow we had last week too.
Just remember that not all tires of the same size are actually the same size. Tread pattern matters.

No worry about the pictures. You have told me what I need to know. Thank you. I was actually leaning towards the Ridge Grapplers. This seals it.
So far I've done the following:
Upgraded the Driving lights
G2 Backflip
Tinted all windows
Installed flush mount Rigid lights in the rear bumper
2.25 level kit
3 inch rear block
295X60R20 tires
Solo Performance exhaust
And the most important - Tiffany the Hula Girl on the dash...
Next up is removal of the front air dam, K&N intake, 20 inch Rigid bar in front, paint rotors, and please please let me remember to replace my stock wiper blades!!
Wow, if my wife sees this list I'm dead!
I just bought a Rigid Industries 20" combo which looks great and can hardly wait until I can install it on my new KC hilites #74211 light bar. Also flanking the bar will be Amber duallys floods for fog dust and snow. Also I have a pair of flush mount dually floods which I'm currently thinking of installing as reverse backup lights. However, i might install into the plastic front bumper pads for added lateral sight for deer mainly. I also ordered a switch panel and switches to go into the centre console for a clean look. I'll post more pics this weekend once the light bar arrives and I can install everything
Pictures: The switches are the actual ones and the other is a copy paste of the light bar.

Hi Bill. You mentioned you cut the Factory OEM antennae. I kept hitting the garage or the ceiling of a parking garage so I bought a 14 inch antennae but am getting whistling.What did you use to cut it and how did you re-attach the ball tip? Is the reception good? Appreciate your feedback. Steve from Ontario.
naplesbill...truck looks awesome! Makes me want to get that FORD lettering grill...but I have too many other things on my list.

Steve,
It's really not difficult.
I wrapped it in a protective cloth and placed in a vice.
Next I used a crescent wrench adjusted it to just wider then the end shaft. Place the wrench against the ball tip and tap it off with a hammer. Be sure to wrap some electrical tape around the tip and unroll about a foot and let it hang there. You'll see why soon enough.
Now with the wrench against the tip, hammer against the side of the wrench and the tip will fly off. This is where that tape stops it from flying around the garage or outside somewhere. Trust me it will fly into some crazy place.
Next cut the tip by 3". Next I used a bench grinder to bring trim the end to allow the tip to fit back on snugly. You'll have to grind away some of the wire wrapping as well. Next mix some 2part epoxy and apply to tip and some inside ball. Set and Let dry now a little paint and your all set.

Thanks Bill for the detailed instruction. I just need to get some epoxy and I'll get to it. I appreciate it. Love this Forum. Being a first time truck owner I have learned so much from a variety of great people.
