Default New here, but not to the forums..

Longtime member over at F150Online, but that site has become a ghost town. So, I've decided to try my move over here as there seems to be much more activity.

My truck is a 2008 XL 4.2 with a 5 speed that I bought new in 2008. Currently at 107k miles and I've never had an issue that left me stranded.

I've done a complete led conversion, inside and out, PTM bumpers, chrome clad wheels, oe chrome running boards, chrome door levers, exhaust tip,chrome grill and upgraded mirrors.

245/70r17 Firestone Destination AT tires, all front suspension parts are Moog, aside from the Monroe quick struts I installed. 1/2" level up front and a 2.5" block in the rear. Also swapped out the oe rear shocks for Monroe as well.

Also added a frame mounted tow hitch with a a 7 blade plug and a truxedo lo pro tonneau cover years ago.

I do all of the maintenance on my truck and use Motorcraft parts and fluids for as much as possible.

I recognize a couple user names around here from the other forum, so it seems I may not be the only one. Glad to see MGD (known as MGD_Fan on the other site) is a member here. Always enjoyed his posts.

I live in Vermont, drive the truck year round in lots of salt. I always keep the underside clean and repaint yearly.

That's all, and hello to everyone.
