Awesome! love the brake cooling lol

Must admit I'm hoping that snow makes its way over this side of the pond so I can see what the mines like in winter mode

With 2ft of snow on the ground and more expected, the beast is truly unstoppable...I couldn't help but laugh as I passed a few 4x4 trucks with huge tires that were having trouble going up a steep hill

I decided to have a few of the new parts installed and wasn't crazy about the look of the cf lip I bought from China, $800 down the drain... I decided to buy a new Vorsteiner cf front lip instead

I'll post pics of the other mods later

I wish I did, after cleaning off the truck there was even more snow to drive over...she drove straight through with no problem...These trucks are incredible with a dedicated set of snow tires...IMHO if I had originally gone with the Conti DWS's, I doubt I would of been able to get through it

Just had a few more mods installed...F85 X5M Rotors, Vorsteiner CF Lip and Diffuser, IND Gloss Black X5M Rear Badge(still undecided if I'm leaving it badged), 8 new Spark Plugs...I took a few quick pics even though the truck is filthy, I will get some better shots once I clean the truck

looks great, congrats! how was the install, I understand you had somebody do it but still?
Also what was the reason for u switching from replica lip to Vorsteiner lip, aren't they exactly the same at least as far as shape goes?
For the diffuser, did the rear bumper had to come off?
For the tips, how hard was to remove stock tips?
Badge looks great btw!

Thanks, Everything went on ok and fits 100%...Originally I wanted the Vorsteiner lip but wound up buying the OE front lip which was damaged during delivery, I took a chance and bought a lip from China which looked more aggressive but ended up being an $800 POS!(you live n learn) My buddy who does a lot of my work had a brand new Vorsteiner lip laying around so I had him throw it on for me

Rear diffuser doesn't need to be removed from all the DIY videos I've seen...tips were already welded on to my straight pipes

My best advice to anyone looking to do mods is buy top quality parts and don't be tempted by replicas...you get what you pay for
