The photos are fantastic....makes me want to take a similar trip. Hope you're out there having a blast. Arguably the most beautiful operating steam engine in America is housed in your home state. In Portland, OR to be exact.

Oooooooohhhhh........all this Katzkin leather looks sooooooo comfy. It's something that I'd actually like to do at some point in the near future.

Installation is pretty simple if you've got basic handtools. I installed mine solo with no prior experience. There're plenty of install videos on youtube that'll give you an idea of what to expect. Here's one for an F-150:

Gorgeous truck! The wheels worked out very well. The iridescent hue of the iridium grey paint that you get under natural light is kinda neat. But it’s one of those things that you have to see in person to really appreciate. That hill-top view is magnificent by the way.

Ahh yes....."Section 177" states.

I recently purchased a new set of Alligator TPMS sensors and Falken tires from Americas Tire (a.k.a. Discount Tire in many parts of the country) for a second set of wheels. The wheels were brought in loose for TPMS install and tire mounting, and carried out loose in the back of my truck...

Did the folding headrest retro-fit mod. Ordered a pair of MB3Z-21611A08-CC just like the OP suggested. Ordered directly via the Ford parts website. Found a dealer within the service area offering the parts at a ~20% discount and got free FedEx overnight shipping. Long story short.....the...

I bought the wheels from an EBay seller called BMZ Collectibles out of Dallas, PA. BMZ only has 1 listing for the set of 4. They also have listings for a set of 5 and single wheels as well. You can’t miss them.

Excellent! You put some serious thought into this….and it shows! Nicely done. :rockon:

Yeah.....the F150LEDs ARES LED back-up bulbs are great when they work......in my case that lasted less than 1 year. I've got one that dims out like the driver quit. Sure they've got a 1 year warranty, but they're out of stock until April/May 2026. So....the F150LEDs ARES are going in the...

Steering knuckle clearance is fine especially now that wheel offset has been reduced by 30mm. As far as poke.... @bobbyw87 illustrated a tire and wheel package with the same tires and tire and wheel nominal dimensions...

Thanks. So far, the noise difference is virtually imperceptible. With all the windows closed and the audio system turned off, at a 75 mph cruising speed the ambient wind noise is actually louder than the tires. In the short time that I've had the Wildpeak AT4/Ws, the only quirk that I've...

I've had a set of Roush R Series wheels sitting in the boxes for a few months. Since I'm too cheap to pay MSRP for tires I let the wheels marinate until the internet started brimming with sales. In the meantime I researched tires, sizes and tread widths until I was sick to my stomach. Since I...

Makes me wonder what the vehicle will do if the system senses that the driver is dozing off while driving. Does this mean that all new vehicles subject to the NHTSA reg will also have at least some self driving capability or will it activate a screeching cabin alarm that startles the driver...

Maybe the price reflects $100 in tariffs and $150 for licensing.
