Gotta pull the RX7 in style!

Hey guys. Just got my F-250 Powerstroke Diesel back from MSP in Frederick.
Paul installed a 6" Pro-Comp lift, dual steering stablizer, 20x10 Moto-Metal wheels with 35" Nitto Mud Grapplers. Should look good for Pinks

Looks sweet but I don't know that I would have went with the mud grapplers. I would have done some BFG All terrains. Your going to wear those Nittos out fast on the pavement. That truck is so big it almost looks like you could have went with 37's.

Looks good. I hope you got the drop hitch ready. If not you'll be dragging the dovetail!

Jeebus, how can you trailer an RX-7... I used a tow dolly and my little Mazda 4x4 to pull RX-7's all over the place. Every time I'd panic stop, the rig would jack knife on me and the trailer would push me around a lot. And I could never back up properly for unloading the car into a proper parking space...

Now I've got this hauling vehicle:

I used to pull in style...

That is one good-looking truck. Careful you don't roast those tires! Are they noisy on the highway?

Until I fix this, I have to use a normal Dodge gas pick-em-up truck:

(Click picture for Details.)

BTW, hello all, I'm new to the forums. I live in Forest Hill, MD (near Bel Air) and have a couple of FD's and a couple of FB's.

Agreed, should have went bigger. Looks good though.

On the bright side with 35s you can still use a little bit of that torque. Going up 2" looks bigger, but it's noticeably slower. We had semi-mudders on our towing F-150 and they were damn loud - I'm never doing that again.

You pulling an enclosed trailer?

You are going to EAT those tires on the pavement. And you better have a volume setting of 11 on the radio in the 250.

What happened to the 'yota?
