My stock (In this picture) 2005 Mountaineer Premier with a 4.0 v6. Only 49k on it.. Plan on adding a few things to it in the future.. Just want to put a lift on!!
How much these thing run after all said and done? Im going to do the same thing and get 255 got 245's now. Did you notice a big difference in the 1inch lift?
Hey Caldwell, i see that u have 20% tint. i figure u just matched the front windows to the factory rear windows??? right?? Well i was thinking about matching my front windows to the factory rears. Think u could post a picture of what your tint looks like

$700 out the door. Including lifetime rotation, balancing and nitrogen. As for the additional lift - biggest benny is when I have to wiggle under it like today when I did my oil. It does look and feel a bit bigger. I'm lovin it so far!

Check my pics above. I think mine is 20% and is almost dead on to the back windows. Only downside is night time like when I'm backing out of my driveway. Need to roll the windows down.
perkinsbrandon - I got the rims off a local tireshop. Tires were given to me by a buddy. they were his stock tires on a 1 ton dodge mid 2000's era truck. They're more street than off road. In the spring when I can afford it I'll but some nice MT's. Rims are Dick cypek DC-2 Black. 17"
Thanks for all the compliments and comments folks. i'll have some video posted in the morning on youtube from the trip this weekend. Pretty amazing trip.
Crappy Iphone pic and my tires aren't shined up in this one, but I'll have some better ones later. Believe it or not, the real custom and impressive parts of this ride are the interior and A/V system.
Another from the day I picked it up. I had not yet installed the foglights, factory chin spoiler piece, or black mesh grilles (upper and lower), so it looks funky in that pic. Much better now. The other pic shows the rear hatch after being shaved and painted.
