I parked it in the detailers bay before i left today so it will be first on the list for tomorrow. tired of waiting!
Seriously? That's not right at all. You're still a customer in regards to your truck being worked on. I figured it would be just the opposite. I hope you get it back soon.

Debating on pulling the trigger on the Fox 2.0s Front and rear. Do you think they were worth the money? Better ride quality on and off road?

He may not have wanted to claim it. Either due to deductible was worth over 50% the damages and wasn't worth claiming. Or he didn't want accident on the car fax? Due too Depreciation value? Not sure

Yeah, some stupid BS if you ask me. They were playing games and they knew it. Truck is back now and better than ever.

100% worth the money. I just drove a stock 2018 for 2 weeks. getting back in my truck was like driving a rocket ship around corners. I absolutely 100% recommend the purchase.

Even though it was deemed non-fault i still had to pay my deductible. $500 set me back a lot.

All of these are reasons why I paid out of pocket for the rear. the rear cost me 1400 when i busted that up. this one was 5300 in damages when it was all said and done. The set back was the $500 i had to pay my insurance. Hopefully they will subrogate and get that back to me.

Thanks man, It's been a labor of love. It's taken me a lot of time to get the funds together to make it happen, but its finally coming together.

Also, I got the truck back last week sorry I haven't been on lately. My computer was not letting me on the forum. I finally downloaded another browser and I am back. With that being said I am very satisfied with the job. My truck is looking great and is more importantly performing great. I took it to the ford dealer for a routine service over the weekend and the tech said he would have never known it was hit except for the fact the brand new lower control arm sticks out like a sore thumb. Per my request the shop left the emblems off. I broke them open and painted them up. 100% improvement over stock.

Thanks! I had to do something nice for her since she had to stay in the shop so long... I need to figure out how to crack open the ovals. I've completely trashed the spare ones that have turned up in the shop everytime I've tried....

Took the truck out to the beach again this weekend. It performed awesome as always.... There isn't anything i've thrown at this truck offroad that it can't handle.... I've had it up to the middle of the doors in mud, and it baffled me again out on the beach. Typically I usually drop to around 25 psi before i head out on the beach.... This time I was lazy and left the full 45 psi in the tires, the truck didn't even blink powered right through literally no difference from when it was aired down to full pressure.

All lined up!


Got it all cleaned up yesterday, and i finally took some decent pictures of the truck since i got it back. Even though they are just right in my driveway i think they came out great.
