  1. As someone who builds mud trucks I'd say go with BDS or SkyJacker. Both are good brands. A 6in lift is a little excessive if you're only going to put 35's on there. Those stock tires are already 32-33's. With a 6in you could fit some 38's if you want to go bigger. I recommend Goodyear Wrangler Duratracks for tires. The are the best on/off road all terrain all season all everything tire I've ever used. Here's a couple trucks I helped build. http://i.imgur.com/YVmCqZG.jpg, http://i.imgur.com/IWIPafE.jpg, http://i.imgur.com/TY9whFD.jpg, http://i.imgur.com/6F17XCe.jpg, http://i.imgur.com/5MzlQ28.jpg . That last one wasn't a mud truck just a chevy with a 6in lift and some 37's. and yes that is an RX7 sitting on a chevy frame with a big block chevy and 38's lol. Also if you want to pick up some extra power in your new f150. I read that an new exhaust alone can gain you almost 60-80hp if you have the money to get one.

  2. So I totally shit the bed and never updated this thread with a list of suggested hardware. Here's what I've picked out. Feel free to ask questions or give feedback.

    CPU: Intel Core-i5 3570K - $230 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16819116504

    Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V PRO - $215 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813131819

    SSD: Samsung 830 series 128GB - $100 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820147163

    HDD: Seagate 1TB 7200RPM - $90 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16822148840

    GPU: EVGA GTX 670 FTW - $400 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814130802

    Case: BitFenix Raider Mid-tower - $90 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811345009

    RAM: G.Skill ARES 8GB (2x4GB) - $45 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820231546

    PSU: XFX 650W modular - $100 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16817207022

    CPU Cooler: Corsair H60 - $65 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16835181015

    Optical Disk: ASUS DVD Burner - $19 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16827135204

    PSU extension cable - $5 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16812226050

    That puts my cart at $1385 shipped to my front door. Should be the same to ship to New Mexico. A machine with these specs would RIP apart current games and games for years to come. The motherboard will run 2 cards no problem so you've even got room to upgrade.

    I hope this helps!

    all of this except i would get the Corsair H80 not the 60. the H60 only has a 25mm thick radiator and doesn't cool all that well. You're better off with a good air cooler than the H60. The H80 has a 38mm thick radiator. It is a lot better for cooling.

    Also I would get this case instead Cougar Evolution because that BItfenix case doesn't have as good of cooling. Also its the same price and the Cougar is a full tower case.

  3. why not just put the batteries in your tool box?

    umm... cause i actually use tools in my tool box, i have the factory jack, my craftsman set, ropes, straps, etc. It is FULL. not to mention i dont want to put holes in my tool box.

    edit: batteries are 9in tall, 13in long, and 7.5in wide

    understandable. I actually used mine too before i put in my rollbar. i found this battery box but its a half inch taller than what you can fit. thats the only one I've found that is close without just building your own.

  4. take it apart and look at the soldering on the back of the pcb. look for any shorts. worst case you have to buy a new amp. if there is any solder touching somewhere or any shorts you can probably salvage it. if its still getting hot you can cut a couple holes in the top plexy and buy a couple slim profile 120mm computer fans for extra airflow over the parts
