Very nice. 4.0 or 4.6? And what camera are you using? Those are high detail photos

Teejay4490 · 02-15-2012, 08:24 PM

Its a 4.0. I was shooting with a Canon 40D

asull85 · 02-18-2012, 01:57 PM

I just installed a custom tune from Henson Performance this morning. The difference is unbelievable.

Teejay4490 · 02-18-2012, 02:03 PM

Faster, better gas mileage..? Ive been thinking about getting one I need somebody to justify it for me lol

asull85 · 02-18-2012, 02:26 PM

More power, faster acceleration and better mileage.

Triton8273 · 02-20-2012, 05:30 PM

God that truck looks amazing.

I've always liked the 4th gen front end...just look a little tougher. I've considered trying to find a way to mount those fog lights on my 3rd gen and make it look factory.

Great Job

asull85 · 02-24-2012, 10:26 AM

Yesterday I ordered a Uniden BCD996XT scanner, antenna and cable from Scanner Master. Then I took a ride down to MHQ in West Hartford, CT and picked up a radio center console. Looks like I have a new project for this weekend.

asull85 · 03-08-2012, 03:27 PM

Here are a couple quick shots of the console and scanner.

asull85 · 03-24-2012, 05:35 PM

Added a "truck tattoo" as my 5 year old daughter calls it..

Teejay4490 · 03-24-2012, 11:24 PM

You a cop or a firefighter?

No sir. I use the computer for photography, storm chasing and a few other things. Scanner is for the same thing.

*shadowless127* · 03-27-2012, 04:30 PM

Only issue I have with this is it's not a 4.6.

With that being said, this is probably the most badass 4th gen I've ever seen. Clean, functional, and just plain cool.

asull85 · 04-08-2012, 12:38 PM

This week I ordered a Powerstop drilled and slotted brake kit and installed it yesterday. Aside from needing some plastic explosive to get the tires and rotors off, installation went quickly and I can definitely notice a difference.
