I found this truck on another F150 forum, seen it was a local truck (within 2 hours) and pm'd the guy. The wife and I met up with him, I test drove it, walked around it, and asked all the important questions like about spark plugs and coils which he has changed!

Here are the pics he had in the ad:











The seller was a great guy and even delivered the truck to me. He towed it with his replacement truck:





When I got it home, I was able to vacuum it, and wipe down with lemon cleaner on the interior. Then put my brand new F150 OEM slush mats in her, and put my Hellas behind the grille







I finally got to take my own pics of her and had a great location to do it!!

What exhaust set up you running?

Did those floor mats come with the truck or did you buy them seperately? If you bought them seperate, where from?

steve00

look below!

True duals with magnaflow X-pipe, flowmaster 40s, 3" tips

I bought them separately from EBAY. Genuine Ford OEM mats:

their items, if they dont have them listed, email them

yes it does! not because of the leveling kit, but the width of the tires and lack of backspacing on stock wheels. They hit the upper control arms. I believe if I get a 285/65R20 BFG, they are the same height, but less wide, it wouldn't rub at all


UPDATE:

Finally had weather to wash the truck in! last weekend!!



it was getting dark. then got up the next day and hit the truck with my polisher! made my paint shine with my Dual Action Meguiar's Polisher.



G110V1 Dual Action Polisher
M105 (Fine Cut Compound) on 6 1/2" polishing pad
M205 (Ultra Finishing Polish) on 6 1/2" finishing pad
Hand waxed with Meg's NXT 2.0 Paste Synwax

Removed every swirl there was in the hood leaving a brilliant shine. Gonna hit the rest of the truck when the weather clears back up (it snowed the next day.) ill use the same process, BUT after the M105 and M205, ill hit it with #7 (Show car glaze pure polish, and then Hi-Tech Yellow Wax with the polisher, THEN hand wax with the NXT to seal it best

Noone cares.....


Kidding.


You should ditch the chrome tailgate handle and mirror caps though. Itd look way sexier without imo.... And minus the steps too. Lol

The top pictures dont reflect whats on the truck now. It doenst have covers anymore, the seller had since put some Mark LT PTM ones with chrome handles that look killer on the truck.

UPDATE:

New 2010 Chrome tow hooks



Sent from my Motorola Electrify using FRF App

Installed!! They are a little bit smaller, but they still look beast!!!







putting this on today!

Im a little aggrevated and mad, but gotta do what I have to do. The truck is going in to get new exhaust as the Duals that are on it now are literally falling off of the truck. The only rust on the entire truck was the custom exhaust.

Going the get cat back custom exhaust done with Di/Do muffler. But on top of that, started to hear a dang tapping/flutter/rattling noise on acceleration and believe I have also developed the STUPID manifold leak problem. So now I have to address that. Oh the woes of a used truck
