This is my 2003 F-150 King Ranch Supercab. It just turned 40K miles. At 12 mpg, it is hard to justify driving it when my wife's corolla gets about 40 mpg. Kills me at the gas pump, but I still love this truck and especially the interior.
It is pretty much stock except for the 20" wheels (Eagle Alloys) with Yokahama Geolander 285/50r20 tires, Flowmaster muffler, K&N filter and fiberglass bedcover. My other project (87 Grand National) has taken all my time and money. So for now, the truck will remain like it is. As soon as the tires wear down I plan on lifting the truck and installing some offroad tires for these wheels. Future plans include: stereo system, lift, bigger tires, offroad lights inside of grill and remote start alarm.

44k miles and time for new tires. I have to say I am not impressed with the Yokahama Geolander tires. They barely lasted 25k miles. The compound seems to have hardened and began to crack and the wet weather handling was horrible. This time I went with a little bit taller and narrower tire (275/55r20 VS 285/50R20). The old tires rubbed the front swaybar at full turn. The new ones clear just fine. The new tires are Pirelli Scorpion ATR, I had the white letters facing out- I think they look pretty damn good. They ride very nice and extremely quiet compared to the Yokahama's. The lift will have to wait, still focusing on my GN.
