Hi guys no strange and out of the norm here project, but i got tired of clogging up the picture thread with pics of my never ending build... so i figured i'd start a thread... i started calling my truck fx40 because it was an fx4 on 40s..and it kinda stuck

Here's my truck the first day I got it (5/21/13).. it was already lifted and painted 2006 f350 with 42k miles on it 12" lift on 40x13.50 mickeys & 20x10 gear alloys

that's how it'd stay for a while... with nothing major happening..

1st came small things.. new reflective fx40 stickers and an 8" tip

1502419_10202281096041506_28253178_o.jpg


then i changed the exhaust setup and ran a 8"x36" tip (hate it or love it), cleaned up the undercarriage a bit, and got on that cone life tip for whatever reason..:doh:

ok... well i'll continue hoping someone can chime in with a solution because honestly if i clicked into a thread with pics like that i wouldn't read it either... which would defeat the purpose of me making this :(

its just the pixel size.usually pics uploaded with photo bucket or tapatalk are sized well. its not a terrible thing. if you look at it on tapatalk, like a lot do, theyre normal size.

recently, the truck has staid pretty much the same.. only major changes (some pictured before) were the 50" bar came off, the 12" came out of the bumper as well and 2 small dually cubes went in instead

next big phase... was when i decided to do a 2012+ front end conversion...

not a fan of ptm everything, so decided chrome rear and smooth ptm bumper pad

my buddy's 7.3 conversion
10428313_10203271171912784_342838348821719945_o.jpg


finishing up the conversion....andddd the paint didn't match

CLOSE..but no cigar

(fender not bolted on, just holding it up)

so then a new color was created

Lose the stupid exhaust tip and the Alabama sticker, and you have a beautiful truck...

Very cool truck. Over the top trucks, need over the top tips... I think it fits your truck nicely. I've seen your wheels on Craigslist for a while, what do you have planned for replacement?

I agree, I'm not big on the exhaust tip, but that's just me. If you like it, that's all that matters. Badass truck for sure. And those AF wheels were nice.......why get rid of them?

Looks awesome man. The color is sweet. What wheels are you going with now.
yeah i do to, a regular axle dump just looked small under there..
and yeah they were, then i dude in Louisiana bought em the day after i got it painted...

thank you, it turned out amazing.

for wheels i initially had another set of 24x14 forces on order.. but now i'm trying to go with a completely custom cut wheel, but the process is proving quite difficult.

yeah, everyone has an opinion, but that's all it is. i catch hell for the tip & the color the most haha. and the cone is gone, i'm over that phase. but i did have a colormatched cone, first for that so i was still unique haha

Someone skipped leg day. Lol


What's your plans on the interior? 08?
yeah yeah so i'm told lol, i'm thinking Harley Davidson. I wanted King Ranch but i think it won't flow as well with the outside as black will.

Could you take a somewhat close up of the door to see the handle better? I think I might try and go that route also and loose the majority or the chrome.
