Still no truck... It has been getting pushed off and pushed off... the reasoning was because i work there... well I had enough today started forcing it through. it sat at alignment from 9am until 3:00 only reason it made it out was i started making phone calls. still not cut and buffed. I parked it in the detailers bay before i left today so it will be first on the list for tomorrow. tired of waiting!

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.

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.
