Default Far from new...

Hello there F150Forum members, some of you will recognize me from F150online.com or FordRaptorForum.com

I decided since I have been lurking over here a bunch lately and since there is more activity on the regular 09-12 F150's, I figured I'd at least make a formal introduction and start contributing.

I currently own a highly modified 2005 F150 FX4 that we built purely for show and to be one hell of a daily driver Since I stopped showing it last year I have retired her to weekend warrior and the occasional cruise with the family (my daughter loves to cruise in it already). Besides those activities we utilize it for community functions, parades, and occasionally I will pop in at a local car show just for the kiddos.

There are far too many modifications to list so here's some pics!








I don't have any recent pics from the last few years uploaded to my photobucket yet; but she has new 38x15.50's, a new rear suspension setup, new drive line, upgraded axles, upgraded 4 wheel drive system, upgraded trans, new paint and a few other misc. goodies!

I am currently debating my next truck between a 2012 Raptor or another FX4 with the EcoBoost (2012). Ford has given too many great options to there most indecisive buyer!

They are all into motocross now from what I have seen/read, as far as producing lifts I'd just consider them out of business. I read on a cummins forum a while back that management could never figure it out, and the owner was spending the cash faster than it came in. I think the economy and last years gas prices really took a toll on big lift companies as well. I just don't buy that it took them a year to move into a new facility either..

It's too bad cause they had a great product that was extremely well engineered and built.
