Headed out to Monache Meadows this weekend. Had a great time. We showed up on Friday just after a rain storm which kept the dist down on the trail. The rest of the weekend was at high 70s. Here are couple of shots. I have about 400 images to go through.

What effect does the RTT have on your gas mileage and noise on the highway? I've been trying to find a decent solution for mounting the RTT directly behind the cab, but the taller options (like the rack on yours) are very tempting.

To be perfectly honest mpg is not something I really worry about since it's not my daily driver so I haven't tracked it since I started molding the truck. I don't hear any road noise though.

Come on. Give us an exclusive sneak peak of the new front end. I wont tell the IG world I promise.

F150's are SERIOUSLY lacking good looking and good quality front bumpers....assuming that's what you're making.

So next in line after that is suspension.... im torn on which way to go. I will def be going with coilovers and possibly diff springs/ shocks in the back since all the extra weight is making it sag a bit. If i dont do diff springs i may go with airbags in the rear..... As far as brands are concerned im torn between Icon, Kings, Fox and Boss.....

I'm in the same looking at suspension upgrades boat. I threw a hell bent steel leveling kit and a slightly taller rear block to get some height on my new 2016. I dumped all my available fun money on tires and skid plates (as well as some other stuff) so I didn't have enough left to do the final suspension setup. I'm going back and forth between Fox and Boss. I'm hoping to have it done by next spring since I have a trip to Moab planned. What rear springs are you looking at? I'm interested in doing that as well.
