As a fellow driver of a 13 year old truck it looks better now. More modern.

You are right, the diesel doesn’t, but the shit ass monster sticker wheels and skinny sidewall tires do. I get it, to each their own... but, the whole “muh diesel” thing is overdone. Every time I see a brodozer (and yes, yours is, even if it’s just a wannabe) I know god killed yet another kitten. Sad. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

And there is no way a stock ride height truck classifies as a brodozer.... especially without have a 12" exhaust tip and a huge led light bar on it ??. |

They stick about 2" past the fenders. Wide enough where they look a little more "aggressive" than stock, but not wide enough where you see them as say "look at that stupid Brodozer". View Quote |

It looks good but I could never do it. I take my truck off the pavement and dont want rocks and sand thrown along the side of my truck.
If you have a pavement king though go for it! |

I like the stock wheels, but the biggest and best change is the stupid bug deflector deletion.

Looks good OP. I've got the brodozer starter pack. I love my '06 6.0. At the moment, it has ARP studs, Banks cold air intake, XPD external oil filter, XPD oil cooler, and EGR delete. It has a leveling kit and 35" tires. I had to put in new ball joints, tie rod ends and replace an alternator when I got it. When I get through with a few gun projects, it will get wheels, bumpers, a tuner, bed cover, and lights. Then, I will truly be hated. https://i.imgur.com/hclsSBs.jpg View Quote |

You make me miss my '88 Ranger.
That's a really good looking truck. I don't envy your gas mileage, but do your towing ability. |

Gay running boards are gay .... but other than that, nice looking truck!

Black is the new chrome, a trend that will phase out one day.
Now, where can I get mine? |

Well, I was able to sell the stock wheels and tires off of my truck for a really good price, and picked up a new set of wheels and tires for not much more. I've never bought wheels for any vehicle I've owned, but I figured what the hell.....I saved enough on buying a used truck, I might as well dress it up a little. I ended up going with a set of Raptor 20x9 wheels with 0mm offset. This sets them out around 2" father than the stock wheels and tires. They stick about 2" past the fenders. Wide enough where they look a little more "aggressive" than stock, but not wide enough where you see them as say "look at that stupid Brodozer". For tires I went with Nitto Terra Grappler G2's. The last two sets I had on my other truck both went 60,000 miles before I had to replace them. 10-ply, pretty quiet on the highway, and plenty grippy for mud/snow/offroad. What do you think? Not bad for a 13 year old truck with 215K on in that only cost me $12k. :grin: And yes....I quickly learned that 6.0 Fords have their issues...but after several days of wrenching on the darn thing, I have all of the "common issues" taken care of. I saved enough money buying this thing vs. the same year Cummins....I can damn near drop a new engine in the truck and still be under what a 5.9 Dodge would have cost me. https://i.imgur.com/grJLqMd.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Yxxmso7.jpg View Quote AMP Power Step More comfortable step up, better tread and they don't collect mud/snow/ice in the stowed position. |

Quoted: Skinny sidewall tires? They are the same size that come oem on a lot of factory trucks.....20" wheels are common, even 22" wheels. Have you seen any new trucks lately?? I had the same 305/55/20 tires on my 04' Dodge ram OEM wheels. And there is no way a stock ride height truck classifies as a brodozer.... especially without have a 12" exhaust tip and a huge led light bar on it ??. View Quote What are the weight ratings on the new tires & wheels vs the factory tires/wheels? |

Looks good, OP, but fancy tires/wheels tell me you enjoy cleaning and polishing. My 99 250SD V10 is becoming cancerous so now I have an excuse to not clean it every week. It's a good thing I don't have sparkly wheels to keep clean.
Good luck, OP. |

looks great OP, screw these fudds with their BS brodozer comments. Too bad it's red.

Would have got Method wheels personally. 502 Or quit being poor and get some Asantis |

Nah.....those look too "I want to look like I'm a tier 1 operator and/ or a dessert racer when in reality I'm neither". I don't like that look......but I guess that's why they make hundreds and hundreds of different wheel styles....everyone has different tastes.
I think those would look sharp on a Baja truck... |
