Default Truck Upgrade

For 14 years I drove a Red 1992 F150 Flareside 2wd.

One month ago I purchased a 2006 Fx4 Screw.

I added Trail FX Side Bars and a DiamondBack SE cover for the bed. It has a cab protector and is coated with LineX. This cover allows me to carry 400 lbs on it and has four tie downs. If I don't want the lid on the bed I can remove it in 20 minutes. This will give me more flexibility than a fiberglass lid.

The other modifications will come later.

Congrats on the new truck and your old 92 looks like it is in perfect condition.

14 years! Wow! Congrats on the new rig!

You can load up the fiberglass lids too, you just gotta be creative with how you mount your rack...

Before I saw this raptors set up, I thought the same thing.

Thanks everyone. Yes the '92 looked great. The paint was original and looked better than my wife's '04 Honda Accord. I don't have room to keep three vehicles so I sold the '92 last week. With the help of this forum I hope to drive the '06 for 14 years.

I also bought weathertec floor mats. The one in the back saved me twice when my grandkids spilled their drinks. Money well spent.

I like the rack on the fiberglass lid. That would have looked nice on my truck.
