2023 F150 XLT
Very nice truck, I too recently sold our diesel (deleted & tuned) Gladiator. I had long missed the coyote after a few mustangs and I'm happy to be back behind one. The only thing I miss about the gladiator is the beefier everything despite being a mid-size truck. I'm fairly certain I could break into any modern F150 with a box-blade by simply cutting through the floorboard hah. Zero regrets on the F150 though. I recently added a blower and it brought me back to my fast mustang days.

I was the first Jeep Gladiator on 35 Spline Super Dana Axles for the new model year of Jeep Gladiators. I called up ARB and Several Axle manufacturers and assembled the kit that they now sell from the work I had done.

This is my Jeep Channel. 6K subscribers and really did a lot of firsts for the Gladiator Community. I am TEWLTALK.

I have no idea since I’m running aftermarket wheels and tires currently. I believe on stock wheels you can run 34’s without rubbing anything. Maybe even 35’s but I’m not sure off hand
I run sorta 35s on stock 20s with a 2" level. 285/65/20.

I'm just jealous that your F-150 fits in your garage. I'm not so lucky. I need to build a home with a bigger garage.

Ahh, dont worry too much. Its a truck, its supposed to get dirty and age with some patina. I hope you get a chance to get the garage you need though for real. My father in law bought a new 2003 Tundra 4x4 V8 and gave it to me in 2013. I just gave that truck to my son in 2023. It was garaged and still looks amazing. Definitely garage it when you can. It will last forever. LOL

I ran my brand new truck down to empty and filled it up. My scanner reads the e85 content at e60 compared to regular gas at e12.9

I felt an immediate acceleration boost and it definitely feels like it's running way better than the dealer gas that was in it.

2.00 gas compared to 3.75 and 4.00 in Florida. These 12 to 1 compression gen 4 are awesome.

Getting 20mpg on the fist 20 miles.

I got an alignment at my local shop after I installed the Fox Shocks and Coilovers last month. Didnt need any additional hardware and the install and alignment went fast. Great Suspension. Highly recommend the Roush Fox Ford Performance Parts Level Kit. Its really much more than a leveling kit at the cost it has but its truly the only way to do a level on our trucks the right way.
