Latest update is some mods done in Dec (Mishimoto intercooler and upgraded charge pipes, Ford Performance tune, Corsa airbox with larger filter, MBRP 3" cat-back done Dec of 23 and switched to 37" tires). In April I changed out the stock Bilstein shock/coilovers for some 4WP/ProComp adjustable coilovers for an extra 2" of lift to try to level it better. The speedometer is actually now dead on with the 37's, it was reading high with the stock 35's which seems odd.
I swapped out the stock plastic rear bumper for a metal bumper from a Bronco Raptor. The truck is surprisingly quick with the mods and the mpg is actually going up with normal driving.
