Hahhaa.. No, actually i took King Faisal Highway, from the city to the borders with KSA there is a good 120kms each way and not much traffic at 5am.
Since i couldnt find the DS anywhere here, i called KSA dealer and its available, i might go next week to get it and come back. The heavy duty DS will take some time to get here and the season began, no time to waste..

So is the truck running strong now? And did you get your tuner figured out?

Strong it is!
I didnt floor it yet, but i can feel the urge of power everytime i try to overtake.
As for [MENTION=112596]MorePowerTuning[/MENTION] our last email is that, SCT sent the file but there was an error in it. SCT suspended all their work until after the SEMA. I'm still running the canned tune

With some of the crazy drivers in Kuwait I'd opt for a heavier bumper, but that would hurt your suspension. The prerunner style might help you out in the sand/beaches. Plus I don't think there'd be another truck like yours around there. Not sure there's one like it now. Haha.

Nah.. they're not that crazy. Actually there are a few F150s like and even better than mine over here. I'm just opting for what i like and find practical at the same time.

Nice truck man! I say go for the prerunner look! I think it looks the cleanest and the most simple.
