I still have the 4v here but it's just not worth the work for the power level. I may have to just consider a lightning conversion.

If anyone has a link to a Coyote swapped 10thgen 4wd, send it. Power by the Hour wont return my emails either.
You have definitely taken this idea and run. I thought you were just going to throw on a new muffler and send her to a new home. Lol

Yeah, I want a Raptor or something problem free but I also want all my extra money to go to my Mustang, lol. For less than $10k, I can overhaul the '01 completely and pretty much do all the rest of things I wanted to do to it. I still love my truck so I'll be ok with driving something old for a few more years. That's still much less than a newer truck.

I'm going to take off the Body lift, switch to a Deaver rear spring pack, replace the interior, weld up some frame supports and jump up to an 18" or 20" wheel for a less off road look. Also, I'm going to clean it up and put on a full body vinyl wrap.

Lightning swap with a Reman 2v is now looking like the best option though.

I'm interested to see what you decide to do. If mine was a crew cab I would absolutely be trying to revive it instead of considering finding a replacement.

Finally replaced my tail lights. Went with a light smoke with the black buckets. These group the blinker bulb with the brake light. Not sure about it yet, but I like the look overall.

That's going to look sick! Amazing price, hopefully shipping is reasonable.

That is an awesome deal! How are you going to work it with the body lift?

That looks damn good. That bumper pad has to go white now.
