Added a set of flat black Raptor grapics last night to the truck... I was on the fence initially but def like it once seen all done. Realize it's not for everybody but I think it goes well with the truck.

Franchi,

What wheels and tires are those... they are nice!

KMC Slider rims and Nitto Terra Grappler tires.

Tried to find a better pic showing em but best I got...

Good job on the graphics Franchi. I like it. I bet they were hell to install.

I mimic everyone else's thoughts, I like the new graphic. It tones down the blue very well.

what catch can is everybody using or looking at using?

Love the graphics Franchi!

Who's tune are you running? What tires/size?

VMP Tuning's tune and the OEM 20" wheels & Pirelli tires.

Notice much difference, more specifically with the 87 tune? I elected to go with the 5.0 as well. I've seen quite a bit about ssi tunes and 5 star but I have to talk myself into pulling the trigger. Getting ahold of Justin may be another option, wasn't even thinking about him for the truck.

Shawn (SSI) is still perfecting a new tune for the 5.0 I'm sure it will be even better than the last.

Look into the RX catch can. Superior design over anybody else. They have a few hundred ecoboosts running it now with great results.

Yeah, I ran the 87 octane tune for a very long time and enjoyed it. Shifting is obviously the most improved part of any tune for these trucks, IMO. Running the 93 octane tune it does run better but I'm not seeing any mileage increase. I'm going to continue to run it into the summer and see if it ever goes up otherwise I'll be going back to the 87 octane tune.

Thanks for the info.

Not an ecoboost but from the outside they all look the same. I'm leaning towards Fuel Hostage or Maverick wheels with either 275-65 or 296-60's. Either tire will be about 1" shorter than what's on there.

Just decided to order an aux. fuse block, master circuit, etc. I spent way more than I anticipated as the things kept adding up with all of the wire and connectors. Especially since I bought a large quantity of 3M shrink wrap electrical connectors. Figure they will last me years and years though.

Anyways, here is the fuse block I used.

Coupled with a Bussman circuit breaker. I went with a 60A breaker for now with what I'm running.

PS: NotQuik, nice looking truck!

^That's some serious stuff lol. What all have you added that this was necessary?

Not much just Rigid LEDs, bed LEDs, front camera, stereo, etc but this is really the proper way to do it. I didn't want to mess with add-a-fuses because than you can't keep the cover on the box.

Do you have any pictures of it installed? I'm wanting to do something similar with my jeep. I've been looking at the bussman brand though.

Not yet. I haven't had a chance to install it.

Getting ready to order some wheels and tires what do you all think I should go with 18's or 20's
