tire choices

Sorry, don't know of anyone with any 15x8's for sale here in town. Most of my "Ford" parts are for F-250 and above.

Springtime, there is some good fishing to be had over here, both lake and fly. Do you have a lift on your truck?

No as of right now I am stock. But there are definitaly some plans for the winter. TT shackles 31's and possibly a winch if I can rig it to hide behind my stock bumper

Sounds good.

I'm stock too. Figuring on leaving it that way for now as my wife uses it as a daily runner. Probably will go to the 30x9.50x15 Roughrider M&S on it as they will fit stock without any possibilities of rubbing even when heading into the bush.

Also they will fit nicely under the wheelwells.

As for a winch, I haven't looked into one for the Ex yet. I've always built my own bumpers for my big trucks. I'm sure you can find a tuck in 6000lb from Warn or Ramsey to keep the stock look as much as possible. Another thought might be to go with a front and rear reciever. Wire with tow truck jumper cable connectors to each location and mount a winch on a plate to use front or back. I've always found having a rear winch can be really handy.

Just some thoughts for ya. All the best.

Yeah definitaly having a front and rear winch are handy. But this is my only car and its a daily driver. I was thinking tucking it in between the frame rails and have the hook come out where the liscense plate goes (just have to cut a big hole in the bumper. HAve the hole hidden by a flip down liscene plate. What do you mean by front and rear receiver? like a class v trailer hitch?

oh look I have hi jacked my own thread. lol

Congratulations on hijacking your own thread!

Yes, I mean a front and rear class V hitch style of reciever. That way when one is not using the winch it's not there. Also gives you the advantage of being able to move boat/util trailers around in tight places when hooked to the front end.
