Like the title says I finally broke down and bought a new project.
2008 Fx4 114,000 miles, she was hit in the front but i think it'll be a good truck for me.
Not the greatest pics but here it is!
My plan is a leveling kit, tuner, cold air intake, MTs, rims, true dual exhaust, toolbox, and some other odds and end mods as I go. What y'all think?

Tackle

Care to say how much you're into it and how much it's going to cost to get it road worthy?

That's about the only way I can tell you what I think. Otherwise all we're looking at is a damaged truck with a lot of work ahead of you. Plus maybe even a salvaged title?

If your going to be less $ into it than buying a similar truck, I think you did good. Otherwise it seems like a waste to me.

Looks like a cool project. Keep us updated on the progress.

What tackle said, in the end you have a rebuilt truck that hopefully cost quit a bit less than buying one without the damage.

Before I ordered ac condensor, tranny cooler, pass. fender and inner fenderwell I had right around 5400 into it. After all that was ordered I have about 6 in it. And yes it is a salvage title. THe only thing left to order now is headlights and the front bumper. Going from my 02 fx4 (that I already have sold for 8,000) to a 08 that has 10,000 less miles and still staying in my 8000 dollar budget that im getting out of my 02 isnt a bad deal i don't think.

That sounds like a pretty good deal. I'd have no problem doing something like that if I planned on driving it for a long while. Good luck!

Thanks! Im hoping to get it done as cheap as possible for the best quality. im doing all the work and paint myself. Should be about 3 weeks to a month before she is road worthy.

Might as well get a steel bumper so you don't have to fool with painting it at least!

Wanna send me some cash for a full replacement?
I would like to but I haven't found one I like on these trucks yet..

Okay guys sorry for not keeping up on the progress just been busy workin on her! I went with some smoked heads and black mesh grille. Still filling in some dings and scratches that need some paint work but will have it done here in the next day or so. Here are the latest pics.
